Perched upstairs on Little Bourke Street, this glowing loft pairs experimental Thai-inspired drinks with shareable bites under hanging lanterns. Catch theatre-goers and cocktail devotees grabbing stools for charred pork neck and spiced bar snacks—or settle in beside the open windows as drinks start circulating. The floor balances an airy, high-ceilinged room with acoustics that let conversation carry, while the kitchen syncs finger food and share plates for milestone celebrations or late-night rounds. Glasses fill with house concoctions like the smoky Flip Side alongside off-menu staples, followed by plates of crisp coconut chicken croquetas finished with manchego.
