The Cubby House Courtyard

What is this "Cubby House"? Is this actually a courtyard? Should we get another drink? Only one of these questions requires addressing, and action. Katuk's courtyard is an indoor space, albeit one removed from the main spaces and front bar...

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 recommended!

Lovely bar hidden away in Chapel street. The cocktails are great and there’s lots of space to chill out and sit down/talk. There’s books, board games, some chill background music. There’s usually lots of couples so it’s good for dates, quite intimate with all the couches and seating spaces. Thank you for the experience!

Great atmosphere with books and fireplace, knowledgeable bar staff who will happily make those classic cocktails that most other bars won't (i love a grasshopper). Lots of nooks for private spaces and conversations. 10/10 would recommend

Went on a weeknight with a girlfriend. Very quiet. The food menu is bar food, but toastie with Chorizo and Potato was yummy enough. We had a great private spot to chat. New bartender started shift and really sweet as we had finished our wine and were busy chatting, so he started the fire in front of us and bought us each a glass of water. Great service. It's probably pumping on the weekend. Lovely interior with all the woodwork and library shelves.
