Polly Bar

Fitzroy's velvet-draped cocktail den. cigars, absinthe, and the city's go-to function room.

Baroque, intimate lounge with crimson velvet couches, low lighting and a crackling wood fire. quiet enough to talk, cosy enough for a date night or a private function.

In-house cocktail-making classes and whisky tastings, a dedicated cigar smoking atrium, absinthe on the menu, and a private upstairs function room with its own bar and toilet.

No specific heritage or regional cuisine claim. its identity is built on its own baroque cocktail-and-cigar concept rather than a national food lineage.

Cocktail classes (around $80pp for three cocktails plus a platter) are widely called good value; a few reviewers felt individual drinks were pricey for what they got.
