The Venue

Welcome to Closed Bar - where moody elegance meets vibrant charm across two thoughtfully curated levels.

Downstairs, a laid-back bar hums with effortless energy, while above, an exclusive cocktail lounge invites you into a more intimate world - complete with velvet booths, glowing candlelight and open air terraces. Here, romance lingers in every detail. Our menus are lovingly crafted using the finest local ingredients, small-batch spirits, and wines from boutique Hunter Valley producers.
