Craft of the bar

Modern Australian cocktail artistry

Suited’s cocktail artistry elevates every drink; our bartenders craft each pour with precision, integrity and a deep respect for modern Australian mixology.

Our team draws on Australian botanicals, slow-infused spirits and house-made cordials to layer flavour, texture and aroma. Every cocktail is tested in service, refined with feedback and designed to stay balanced from first sip to last.

  • Considered technique

    Clarified bases, smoked elements and precisely measured dilution ensure each serve arrives in its perfect state, whether shaken bright or stirred silk-smooth.

  • Australian-led flavour

    Native citrus, wattleseed, Davidson plum and local vermouths highlight the best of Australian terroir while honouring classic bar craft.

  • Integrity in the glass

    We work with trusted distillers and small-batch producers, prioritising sustainability, provenance and products that speak to Melbourne’s late-night culture.

Your evening at the bar

Take a seat at the dark marble counter or sink into a velvet booth. Begin with a signature serve, explore a classic reimagined, then transition into a zero-proof or digestif to close the night.

Seasonal cocktail menu

Seasonal signatures, classics and zero-proof creations

Featuring a rotating selection of signature cocktails and premium spirits, our menu is driven by locally sourced fruits, botanicals and house-made syrups to bring Australian terroir to your glass.

Signature serves

House inventions with a sense of place

Delight in Suited originals, composed for late-night Melbourne. Each drink is built around a narrative, drawing on native ingredients, layered textures and a lingering finish.

  • Velvet Tuxedo

    Smoked & stirred

    Smoked cherry, native wattle, dark rum and cacao bitters — a satin-dark sip that pairs effortlessly with rich, charred plates.

  • Melbourne Marquee

    Citrus & bright

    Finger lime pearls, cream sherry, gin and lemon myrtle; a sparkling tribute to Melbourne’s theatre district and late curtain calls.

Classic revivals

World standards, reimagined in Suited style

Explore world-renowned cocktails reworked with Australian spirits and house elements — familiar silhouettes, newly detailed.

  • New Fashioned

    Barrel-aged

    Local single malt, wattleseed syrup and native bitters, served over a hand-cut rock with an orange smoke veil.

  • Espresso Negroni

    Bold & bitter

    Cold-brew espresso, Australian gin, vermouth and amaro; a late-night bridge between coffee culture and Italian aperitivo.

  • Sazerac Noir

    Spirit-forward

    Rye, Australian brandy, smoked sugar and absinthe mist — deep, contemplative and best savoured slowly.

Zero proof & low alcohol

Inclusive cocktails with full complexity

Inclusivity is at our core: discover non-alcoholic concoctions and low-ABV libations, all built with the same layered approach as our spirited pours.

  • Midnight Orchard

    Zero proof

    Burnt apple, black tea, verjuice and native honey soda, finished with crisp herbs and a bright citrus mist.

  • Low Tide Spritz

    Low ABV

    Lillet, grapefruit, non-alcoholic aperitif and saline tonic; light, refreshing and sessionable.

Table service experience

Table-side ceremony, without the spectacle

Revel in discreet, full-service hospitality; cocktails arrive tableside over crushed ice, meticulously finished with aromatic garnishes and elegant barware.

  • Considered pacing

    Drinks are timed to your evening — opening aperitif, mid-meal pairing and a final nightcap to close the table.

  • Elevated presentation

    Crystal coupes, stemmed Nick & Noras and heavy rocks glasses are matched to each serve, with garnishes placed at the table so you experience the final aromatic lift.

  • Effortless pairing

    Each drink is designed to complement our late-night fare, from charred wagyu tartare and ocean trout crudo to wood-fired mushroom plates.

A backbar curated for late nights

Our extensive backbar carries rare Australian whiskies, boutique gins and bespoke liqueurs, with recommendations tailored by our expert staff for your occasion.

    A rotating selection of single malts and blends from celebrated Australian distillers, from coastal, saline profiles to rich, cask-driven expressions.
