The Vampire Rabbit

Gothic cocktail bar with theatrical flair, creative drinks, and seriously atmospheric basement vibes that feel like stepping into a Victorian fever dream.

You descend into what feels like a Victorian apothecary's fever dream, complete with taxidermy, candlelight, and enough gothic atmosphere to make Wednesday Addams feel at home. The cocktails here aren't just drinks – they're theatrical productions, arriving with dry ice, garnishes that look like they've been foraged from a graveyard, and flavour combinations that somehow work despite sounding absolutely mental on paper. The bartenders know their craft inside out, treating each order like a dark arts ritual. Whether you're after something classic or want to trust them with something completely off-piste, you're in excellent hands. It's the kind of place that attracts everyone from date night couples to groups of mates wanting somewhere properly different from the usual Collingwood Street suspects.
