  • Live Jazz and Vibrant Musical Performances

    Settle into candlelit corners or hit the floor with live jazz bands, saxophonists, and vocalists transforming the basement into an electric party.

    The live performance was magical. The powerful voice of the singer and the saxophonist's melody, the beat of drums, the harmony of the band turn the whole space into a great party scene.

  • Welcoming Service with Flapper-Era Glamour

    Front-of-house hosts and waitstaff dressed in period flapper attire deliver warm hospitality that elevates celebratory nights.

    We were greeted by the most fantastic hostess in the most glorious dress (I believe her name was Carmen?) and she made us feel so welcome and special.

  • Atmospheric Escape for Romance and Date Nights

    Step away from the fast pace of George Street into a candle-lit sanctuary designed for intimate romantic evenings and date nights.

    The perfect speakeasy for a romantic and fun date night - the live music is fantastic and sometimes people dance along too.

  • The Go-To Destination for After-Dinner Drinks

    Situated directly in Abercrombie Lane, it offers the ideal venue to continue celebrations with craft cocktails following dinner nearby in the CBD.

    Definitely the bar I would visit for after dinner drinks! Last Dance cocktail was so so amazing.

    Enjoy substantial bites into the late night, featuring freshly prepared cheese jaffles, hot dogs, and charcuterie alongside your drinks.

    We ordered two drinks, a meat plate for 2 a cheese jaffle and a hot dog. The food itself was amazing and came out within a quick time.

  • Watermelon Margarita

    Hands down, one of the best cocktails I’ve ever had. Refreshing, perfectly balanced, with just the right kick—the kind of drink you want to sip slowly just to make it last a little longer. It was fruity without being overly sweet, and the fresh watermelon flavor shone through beautifully.

Before you head over

Practical advice on finding the entrance, reserving seats, and ordering smoothly

  • Spotting the Alleyway Entrance

    The bar sits down an alley decline off Abercrombie Lane beneath Establishment with an unmarked entrance, so look for security checks before descending the basement stairs.

  • Booking Ahead for Prime Tables

    The venue draws crowds and can fill up quickly during peak party evenings and live jazz sets; make an advance booking to secure lounge seating.

  • Ordering Drinks and Managing Tabs

    During packed live performance sets, floor service can slow down, so order rounds at the bar or set up a running tab upon seating.
