The Rabbit Hole

The Rabbit Hole is a magical Alice In Wonderland themed hidden bar whose entry is via a rabbit hole at the rear of Velveteen Rabbit on Petrie Terrace.

Venture down the staircase inside the rabbit hole to find two rooms with checkered floors - the first, a whimsical lounge with antique writing desk, grandfather lock, skeleton and velvet chairs and lounge.

From there, step through another door which leads outside and to the left is a dimlit speakeasy cellar bar with a scattering of Alice in Wonderland themed decor and trinkets.

Here you can kick back and enjoy fun Alice in Wonderland themed cocktails such as Off With Their Heads (cognac, disaronno, cherry vincotto & apricot/sage syrup; The Catless Grin (gin, grapefruit oloe, melon, rosemary oil mist & lemon); Unbirthday Party (cacao butter washed rye, hot cross bun spice, white chocolate & Px) or Curioser and Curioser (dark rum, lime, amaro lucano, tepache and coke reduction).

There's also the Madhattan (bourbon, rye, cynar & smoked eucalyptus honey) or The King and Queen (dry gin, lemon, peach liqueur, sugar & blueberry foam) as well as boutique wines, spirit and beers. 

Food-wise, combine with a delicious rabbit food platter from upstairs or (soon to come) a cheese platter. And be sure to check out the curiouser and curiouser touches behind the bar like the story-themed bottles labelled Elixir of Madness and Drink Me.  

Also look out for the tiny fairy door by the entrance to the lounge, for Alice when she shrunk after drinking from the bottle labelled 'Drink Me'.

Good to know - Before or after going down The Rabbit Hole, treat yourself to some scrumptious food upstairs at Velveteen Rabbit, where there's a two-hatted chef in the kitchen.
