Katuk — Restaurant in Melbourne

I absolutely love the cool, relaxed vibe at this secret Chapel St hideaway. The unassuming entrance is door on the street... up a single flight of polished timber stairs... immediately your welcomed by smiling 'bar folk' and it feels like it's your own private clubhouse . Decor is industrial cross private library, right on trend without being at all pretentious. Dimly lit, with various secluded nooks to chill out, depending on your mood. Staff are genuinely friendly and super efficient, delivering service with a smile. If your a 'Cocktail Queen' like myself, you'll appreciate the vast array of elixirs, including the Katuk Passion; vodka, elder-flower, apple guava topped with a flaming half passion-fruit - both theatrical and delicious!

We hosted our staff Christmas party here last Friday, we are only a small group so it is the perfect, intimate venue. Having said that, it's equally as nice to have a couple of lazy bevies with friends. As Arnie would say...

Katuk is a place where you walk in and be like ‘wow’. An exclusive cocktail and whiskey bar in the middle of Chapel Street, this is the kind of place you wanna be at to enjoy the expansive and appreciative range of cocktails they make. Think of a hollywood movie where the actor walks into a bar and orders a classy cocktail. Wanna try it? Katuk is the place to go. Just have a chat with the friendly and professional bar staff, and they’ll walk you through the entire history and recipe of the cocktail. The venue is bustling with people on a Friday evening where they make you mean modern cocktails and that too at happy prices! With the team being so professional and passionate in everything they do, Katuk should be your next go-to place for a casual drink, a knock-off, or a first date. Thanks for an amazing...

Visiting from Sydney I had a fantastic experience at this hidden gem on Chapel Street in South Yarra. Nestled up a flight of stairs, this cocktail bar offers a charmingly quiet atmosphere perfect for a school night, with a potential for a lively weekend vibe. The aesthetics are delightful, featuring a cozy book nook and an impressive whiskey display that showcases an array of fine selections. Kalen, the bartender, was incredibly friendly and welcoming, sharing intriguing insights about the bar's history since its establishment in 2007. The cocktail menu is diverse, and the "Loch and Load" I tried was simply delicious. This place is a must-visit for both its ambiance and exceptional drinks. Highly...
