About Killik Handcrafted Rum

Perched at the forest edge in Belgrave, Killik pairs craft rum distillery pours with comforting fireside dining. Locals head here when they want something classier than a tavern—think candlelit tables, gnocchi ragù, and hot buttered rum while rain taps the glass. Don't look for a wine list; house spirits run the show, from Mai Tai towers served in clay mugs to curated two-hour Sunday cocktail brunches. Dinner closes smoothly over slow-braised lamb and a dram poured straight from the on-site stills.

  • House-Distilled Rum Program: The venue crafts its own house spirits on-site, serving inventive rum cocktails without a traditional wine list.
  • Dedicated Sunday Cocktail Brunch: Two-hour Sunday sessions offer multi-course cocktail flights alongside savory sharing platters in a dedicated airy room.
  • Fireside Forest Setting: Set against the Dandenong forest with a wood fireplace and candlelight, perfect for date nights or unwinding after a hike.

Before you head over

Essential planning advice for drinks, reservations, and fireside seating

  • Expect Spirits and Cocktails Instead of Wine

    As an on-site craft distillery, the bar focuses strictly on house-distilled rum and gin creations rather than a traditional wine list. Plan ahead for bespoke cocktails and craft spirits instead of ordering wine.

  • Book Ahead for Sunday Bottomless Brunch

    The popular Sunday bottomless brunch operates with structured two-hour seatings in a dedicated light-filled room, moving from staged cocktail pairings to tasting platters and dessert. Book well in advance for groups.

  • Snag a Fireplace Spot on Rainy or Winter Days

    If you are visiting after a long trail hike or on a chilly rainy evening, seek out a spot beside the wood fireplace to unwind with warm rum drinks and comfort food.
