Above Board

World-ranked Collingwood speakeasy with 12 counter seats and bespoke cocktails crafted to your taste.

Deliberately intimate speakeasy above Beermash. dimly lit, minimalist design with just twelve seats around the central bar. Hidden via a laneway staircase or through the venue below, the space feels curated and hushed. Bartenders engage genuinely and remember flavour preferences from earlier in the evening.

Above Board logo stamped into each ice cube; off-menu bespoke cocktails crafted to stated flavour preferences; bartenders offer a tour of the bar design on request; the HSL Special is the one cocktail always on the menu; no food served. the drinks are the entire focus.

Australian-owned cocktail bar with a deliberate concept: a curated spirits programme, no vodka by design, and a house menu emphasising balance and technical craft. No single national food tradition informs the offering.

Cocktails sit at a consistent premium price point. The calibre of craft, intimate setting, and a world-ranking reputation earn near-universal endorsement from guests who appreciate serious mixology. though those expecting standard bar prices will be surprised.
