About Frog's Hollow Saloon

Charlotte Street’s brick-and-timber saloon runs on serious pours and country-blues tunes. Spirit enthusiasts line the 12-metre counter, trusting the bartenders to navigate rare drams matched to personal budgets—zero attitude included. Shakers work steady behind the bar, turning out fresh mandarin margaritas and house builds like the Dr. Pemberton-inspired Long Way Round. Walk-ins take over after 3pm, keeping the room unhurried and anchored in easy counter-side conversation.

  • Guided Whiskey Curation: Bartenders guide guests through an extensive spirit wall, tailoring pours to individual tastes and price points.
  • Pioneer Saloon Atmosphere: Exposed brick, timber details, and a fairy-light ceiling paired with a steady country and blues soundtrack.
  • Bespoke Cocktail Program: Balanced specialty builds like the signature 'Long Way Round' and crisp citrus creations.

  • Engaging Bar-Centric Service

    A 12-metre bar setup fostering walk-up interaction, staff banter, and an unpretentious social drinking culture.

    They run a more bar-centric service style (less table service vibe), which makes it feel social and relaxed

Handcrafted cocktails and chilled craft brews poured across the saloon bar.

  • Long Way Round

    Best cocktail of the night “Long Way Round”…it’s 1886 and Dr Pemberton (inventor of the real Coca Cola) prescribed a healthy tonic and I do declare this is it!

    David Brunelli

  • Mandarin Margarita

    I visited a beautiful bar where I tried a mandarin margarita made with Patrón tequila. The citrus flavors were perfectly balanced and very refreshing.

  • The Banjo

    T suggested to try the Banjo and genuinely I reckon it’s one of the best cocktails i’ve ever had.

  • Slipstream Pale Ale

    I kicked back with a Slipstream Pale Ale — fresh, hazy, and just the right amount of hop. Perfect match for the laid-back energy here.
