Pizza, melts

Full pizzas are big enough for two, and each one also comes as a half. The rest of the menu runs from toasted melts and Mexican nachos to ribs and wings, flathead, calamari and cakes from the cabinet, with coffee and hot chocolate at the bar.

Menu effective September 2026. Tap a page to read it full size.

Spiced Pear Sour

Spiced rum, pear juice and vanilla, for anyone who'd rather skip the cream.

Dragon Ice

Smirnoff vodka and Alizé Bold blended with frozen dragon fruit.

Classic Margarita

Don Julio Blanco, triple sec and lime juice in a salt-rimmed glass.

Pina Colada

Bundaberg Silver rum, Malibu, frozen pineapple and coconut milk.

Sweet, nutty and chocolatey, like the bar it's named after.
