About Stitch Bar

Past the York Street scaffolding and through an unassuming doorway sits a moody subterranean den lined with vintage sewing machines. Cocktail enthusiasts rely on the bartenders to nail the sweet-sour-bitter balance of signature pours like the Legally Blonde or improvise off-menu whiskey variations on the fly. The kitchen delivers crunchy zucchini coins dragged through truffle mayo, golden halloumi fries, and rich birria tacos. For a hungrier table, a seasoned 600g rib eye arrives tender enough to skip the sauce entirely.

  • Bespoke Mixology: Bartenders tailor balanced signatures like the Legally Blonde alongside off-menu creations and curated whiskey pours.
  • Elevated Bar Bites: Crisp zucchini coins with truffle mayo, halloumi fries, and birria tacos complement late-night drinks.
  • Subterranean Vibe: A dim subterranean refuge lined with vintage sewing machines and cage booth seating below York Street.
  • Standout Rib Eye: A generously seasoned 600g rib eye cooked to serve without any need for extra sauce.
