About Alice Bar

Tucked down a narrow alley off Elizabeth Street, this subterranean dive trades in loud eighties rock, red glow, and cold pints. Behind the door, patrons crowd the free pool table and pump coins into the jukebox. Between classic guitar riffs, bartenders shake tailored cocktails on the fly or pour neat bourbon while sliding over bowls of pretzels.

  • 80s Rock Dive Atmosphere: Basement space covered in rock memorabilia and vinyl, keeping classic rock riffs turned up late into the night.
  • Pool & Retro Jukebox: Guests can shoot a game on the free pool table and queue up tracks on the coin-operated retro jukebox.
  • Custom Craft Cocktails: Bartenders craft personalized cocktails tailored to individual tastes alongside an extensive bourbon selection.

Why Choose Alice Bar

Experience authentic 80s rock heritage, expertly crafted cocktails, and classic dive bar entertainment hidden beneath Elizabeth Street.

  • Underground 80s Rock Ambiance

    Descend into an authentic underground dive space saturated in dim red light, vinyl-adorned walls, and legendary rock-and-roll riffs.

    Red lights, loud vibes, and a bartender who throws peace signs like guitar picks. The walls scream vinyl, the drinks go down easy, and the whole place feels like a backstage pass.

  • Hidden Laneway Speakeasy Setting

    Tucked away at the end of a narrow CBD laneway, finding the venue feels like discovering an exclusive, moody hideaway away from the main streets.

    Finding this place is a bit of a treasure hunt, as it’s tucked away at the end of a narrow alley. The ambiance is inviting, featuring eclectic decor that tells a story of its own.

  • Elevated Drinks in a True Dive Bar

    Unlike standard dives, Alice pairs casual rock vibes with top-tier cocktails, extensive bourbon selections, and quality beers.

    This feels like a dive bar, like it could get rough in the wee hours, only the drinks are better. Good beers, great cocktails, many bourbons.
