Before you head over
Practical advice on locating the hidden entrance, coordinating arrivals, and securing your spot.
Find the Red Door and Pineapple Knocker
The entrance is tucked away off Pitt Street opposite Mejico. Walk down the basement hallway and knock three times using the brass pineapple knocker on the red door to be let in.
Book Ahead for Peak Hours
The subterranean room fills up fast, particularly during after-work happy hour and weekend nights. Secure your table in advance to walk straight into this cozy hideaway.
Prepare for Limited Mobile Signal
Being tucked deep in a subterranean basement means mobile reception drops out. Coordinate arrival details with your group before heading down the stairs.
