Basement bars promise nothing but mischief and fun—and High Jinks offers no less. Replacing Black Market in the basement of NewActon’s Morning Glory, the definition of High Jinks is ‘rambunctious fun’ and we’ll have some of that thanks.
Hide away from your responsibilities and celebrate summer with a cocktail or two.

What better way to spend the warmer months than sipping on aperitifs and sampling gourmet meats, cheeses and antipasti at Amici?
Enjoy the atmosphere and soak up some classic Italian fare and paired wine. Did someone say long boozy lunch?

Everybody knows warm weather is pub weather. Well, Woden has finally got a pub and boy, was it worth the wait!
A light-filled venue with open spaces, colourful seating and even more colourful drinks—Fenway is no dingy corner pub.
Gather some mates and soak in the summer air with a bevvy in hand and a table full of hearty pub favourites— think crispy buffalo wings, juicy burgers, salt and pepper squid. Hungry yet?

Okay, so Ostani is already a beloved after-work spot for southsiders—but there’s even more to discover at this happy hour destination after a seriously luxe makeover.
With a super airy, open dining area, Ostani is the ideal after-work summer sip. The new chargrill menu is also season-perfect, full of flavoursome options to enjoy in the evening air.
And, to keep the night going, the cocktail menu is waiting for you.

Vibe central—that’s Assembly.
A spacious pub with a great atmosphere, great food, and an epic drink selection, it’s all in the name—this is the place to gather all your mates and family—even the kids!
The beer garden is an ideal summer meet up spot. Take a seat under the oak tree and settle in for a Sunday session.

Caribou

An authentic Canadian pub without the plane ticket—meet our Canadian mate, Caribou.
Staying true to its canuck roots, there are darts, pool, and loads of sport.
Head in to watch some ice hockey with a whiskey in hand while you fill up on poutine (fries loaded with cheese and gravy), mac and cheese waffles, potato skins and more.
