About Radio Social Club & Cocktail Bar

Inner-city laneway energy drops right into Lilydale, pairing bespoke cocktail crafting with effortless hospitality a short stroll from the train. Snag a stool along the pine, where the crew shake up custom drinks matched to your spirit cravings—or dial in a low-proof sip if you're driving. The room trades in vinyl tunes, easy conversation, and unprompted bowls of pretzels or peanut butter cups the moment you settle in. Out back or at the bar, it works just as well for solo unwinding as it does for cooling first-date nerves over a Cadillac Margarita. Slices of cherry or choc-peanut pie round out the night.

  • Suburban Laneway Feel: Brings downtown laneway cocktail culture to outer Lilydale just minutes from the station.
  • Custom Mixology: Off-menu drinks mixed to guest flavor profiles and low-proof requests.
  • Welcome Table Snacks: Complimentary table pretzels and chocolate cups land alongside chilled water.
  • Sweet Late-Night Slices: Classic cherry and choc-peanut pie slices served late into the evening.
