Bar & Floor All-Rounder

About The Commons & Venue

The Commons is an ecosystem of entrepreneurs, businesses, and curious minds working, connecting, and growing under a common roof. Driven by the sincere desire to see people flourish, we support curiosity and believe in the collective power of people to instigate change. Our focus is on building and strengthening community, and we challenge the status quo in an effort to innovate.

Our in-house café and wine bar offer a seamless all-day experience, from specialty coffee and a high-quality, modern Australian food menu to curated wines and cocktails in the evening. We focus on local and sustainable produce, pairing it with warm, attentive service and a strong sense of community.

The space serves as a vibrant meeting point for members, whether it's for a morning coffee, a relaxed lunch, or after-work drinks. Our concise food menu balances fun and nostalgia, complemented by a seasonal all-Australian wine list, classic cocktails made with local spirits, and a reserve 'vault' selection of international favourites.
