Group Bookings

A wine bar is a good place to gather a crowd: the drinks are the point, the food is made for sharing, and nobody has to sit still. Here's how we do larger parties.

Group bookings

Parties of up to 12 are welcome in the bar alongside our other guests. For food, we'll either put together a set menu for your table or lay on canapés and snacks to go with the drinks, whichever suits the occasion. Pricing depends on what we build together, so tell us what you have in mind and we'll send a quote.

Our wine list leans low-intervention and our cocktails are made to order, so if you'd like something poured for the group on arrival, or a few bottles chosen ahead, we're happy to sort that out.

For parties of 8 to 12, we ask for a minimum spend of $100 per person on food and drink.

Buyouts

Groups of more than 12 take the whole bar. We can host up to 30 guests, and we ask for a minimum spend on food and drink to hold the room:

• Monday to Thursday — $3,500 minimum
• Friday and Saturday — $4,500 minimum

Minimums are before tax and gratuity. Evenings only; we don't open for lunch.

The fine print

Booking. We hold group and buyout reservations with a credit card through OpenTable. There's no deposit; the card just secures the date.

Cancellations. No charge if you cancel 7 or more days ahead. Inside 7 days we charge 50%, and inside 48 hours the full amount.

Gratuity. A 20% gratuity is added to the after-tax total on all group and buyout bookings.
