About Elements Smokehouse and Bar

Elements Smokehouse and Bar delivers a proper Darlinghurst steak night with charred cuts, smoky ribs, and zero pretension. Settle into the warm glow inside or head out to the leafy Palmer Street terrace for an unhurried round of drinks. Meat lovers come for the heavy hitters—thick ribeyes, fall-apart pork ribs, and charred T-bones. Service is dialed in, from thoughtful pacing to the dramatic tableside sear and slice on the bone-in cowboy steak. The bar keeps pace with a serious lineup of craft mocktails shaken alongside signature cocktails, pairing crisp citrus and house bitters with rich spoonfuls of truffle mac and cheese.

  • Tableside presentation: Large-format cuts like the bone-in cowboy ribeye arrive with a tableside sear and carve before serving.
  • Curated craft mocktails: The bar shakes thoughtful, complex house mocktails alongside its full cocktail menu.
  • Wood-fired and smoked cuts: Tender pork ribs, charred T-bones, and brisket burgers anchor the smokehouse kitchen.
