Cocktail Bar & Supper Club

We’re down to the final days of our current cocktail list. A bittersweet time.

Our new creations have been months in the making - we’re itching to share them.

We are however, rather fond of the list we’re saying farewell to, so they deserve one last hurrah.

Come and grab your favourites 4pm til 1am!

We believe a table should always be generously garnished - full of food to share and a drink that hits the spot just as you’d imagined.

No elaborate plans required - walk-ins are always welcome 4pm-1am every single day of the week.

There’s a trophy in the Commune! 🏆

Our very own Emmanuel saw off some stiff competition to take first place in our annual cocktail comp.

Ten competitors, one very deserving Manny.

The rather wonderful ‘Lilac Sour’:
✨Tequila Herradura Australia Plata
✨Show-stealing + Manny-made Ube & salted white chocolate orgeat
✨lemon
✨egg white

It would be criminal to gatekeep, so his winning creation is available at Black Kite Commune for the next 3 weeks only!

Huge thanks to Brown-Forman, comp mentors Matthew Linklater, Joey TAi & Kayla , and judges Benjamin Luzz , Linus L Schaxmann & Tayla Kendall

There isn’t a classic Aussie treat quite like the ‘Meat pie’.

Golden parcels of wallaby mince & mountain pepper leaf gravy served with a dollop of bush tomato relish.
Flaky, rich, served in 3’s and must be eaten with your hands.

Available all night, every night.
4pm–1am, seven days a week.
