What’s on offer at the Archie Rose Bar in this brave new world?

Published 9 June 2020.

These past few months have been a wild ride for everyone in the hospitality industry. Some of us pivoted to takeaway and hand sanitiser, while others had no choice but to close indefinitely. Now with restrictions beginning to ease, we’re delighted to announce that the Archie Rose Bar and Distillery will be reopening at a reduced capacity with an offering to celebrate the classic hits, as well as a few virtual experiences for those who want to continue to serve up at home.

Book a Seat at the Bar

To say we cannot wait to have you back is an understatement, the bar team practically has their jiggers and shakers at the ready. $30 will get you a two-hour session at the Archie Rose Bar, which is redeemable on a mini menu of signature cocktails and our most popular snacks. That’s classic hits like the Espresso Martinique (Original Vodka, cold brew, coconut), Peaches for the Poorman (Harvest 2019 Poorman’s Orange Gin, peach, lime, egg whites), Nuclear Daquirye (White Rye, Green Chartreuse, lime, falernum), plus a spread of share platters complete with Iggy’s sourdough. We'll also be holding a small number of spaces for walk-ins, so if you're in the area swing on by to see if spots are available at that time.

Visit our online booking system to secure a table.

What's Included:

  • $30 credit to spend on food and drinks at the Archie Rose Bar

  • An edited menu of signature cocktails and snacks

  • Table service to make it extra special

  • A two-hour time slot to enjoy at the bar
