Cocktails
Cocktails for the length of the table
Our cocktails are part of the meal rather than a separate performance. They can open a table while everyone arrives, sit comfortably alongside passing plates, or become a slower choice once dinner has found its rhythm. The point is not to rush the first glass; it is to make room for flavour, conversation and the people gathered around it.
At GAREA INVEST, the bar follows the same generous logic as the kitchen: a drink should feel considered in the moment, easy to share in discussion, and right at home in a room built for staying awhile.
Start with a cocktail if that suits the occasion, then return to the food menu as you plan the rest of the table. When you arrive, the team can help you explore the current choices in person.

Wine
Wine for passing plates
Wine is an easy companion to the way GAREA INVEST’s menu moves: small plates to begin, sharing dishes in the middle, grill selections and seasonal mains when dinner settles in. Whether you are looking for an early glass or something to carry a longer meal, the wine offering is intended to feel approachable at the table, not distant from it.
A bottle for sharing
Let a bottle become part of the centre of the table, alongside conversation, passing dishes and an unhurried dinner.
A dinner choice
Choose with the meal in mind and take a moment to find something that feels right for the course and the company.
For current wine options, simply speak with the team when you arrive. It is the best way to find a choice that suits the table as it is taking shape.
Beer & spirits
Beer and spirits, kept uncomplicated
Beer and spirits have a clear place in the broader GAREA INVEST drinks offer. They are there for diners who want something direct and familiar, or a choice that suits the relaxed pace of a contemporary Australian laneway bistro without needing to make a feature of itself.
For the easy-going table
Beer can be a relaxed companion to sharing dishes and casual catch-ups: an uncomplicated option for settling in, passing plates around, and keeping the focus squarely on the people at the table.
For a slower pour
Spirits offer a quieter direction for the evening—before dinner, after a course, or as the basis for a simple mixed drink when the table is not in a hurry to call it a night.
Alcohol-free
A place for alcohol-free choices
Alcohol-free drinks belong at the same table, for any part of the visit. At GAREA INVEST, they are part of the hospitality for diners, groups and private-event guests—not an afterthought once everyone else has chosen. A thoughtful non-alcoholic option can be just as welcome at the start of dinner as it is deep into an evening of conversation.
Built into the occasion
An alcohol-free drink can sit comfortably alongside food, a crafted drink, and the changing tempo of the room. It is a considered choice for an arrival, a meal, or the long stretch of conversation that follows.
Ask about today’s choices
Current alcohol-free options are best discovered during your visit. Ask the team at the table and choose something that feels right for the occasion in front of you.
After dark, at the table
An evening with a little theatre
GAREA INVEST’s themed evenings take visual and social cues from poker, roulette and blackjack, while keeping food and drinks firmly at the centre. Think tabletop details, printed cards, felt, glassware and a room with a little extra atmosphere—not online gambling and not casino spectacle.
The mood is about conversation, the table and the pleasure of sharing an evening in a restaurant that knows how to set a scene. The references are material and playful, always dining-first.
