Smith Wine & Cocktail Bar

SMITH IS A SMALL TREASURE OF A BAR, WITH THE LAVISH DECOR OF A FAR-EASTERN VICTORIAN EXPLORERS’ CLUB AND A COCKTAIL LIST VERY MUCH OF THE MODERN WORLD.

Step into Smith and you step into another place and time: glittering chandeliers and Oriental rugs, rococo wallpaper and plush upholstery, game stuffed and mounted in the manner of any self-respecting gentlemen’s club.

Smith harks back to days gone by, ‘when explorers ventured into unknown lands, the food was good and simple, the drinks strong and the service impeccable’.

Attracting a stylish crowd of romancing couples, glamour girls out on the town and late-night cocktail fiends, it’s the perfect place to cocoon yourself away from the harsh realities of modern life.

Fresh cocktails and retro bar food

Smith is well provisioned with an extensive selection of wines, ports and top-shelf spirits, lashings of Bollinger and a fresh, innovative cocktail list. Also on offer is a small but perfectly formed menu of bar snacks, including a retro range of toasties.

Open from 3pm, Smith is a cosy place to drop in for an afternoon coffee and a bite or even just a nice cup of tea. Mimicking a colonial conservatory, the elegant streetside terrace is the perfect spot to watch Britomart stroll by.

Smith also hosts regular live music and themed cocktail evenings, with special guest DJs and crooners pleasing the crowds till late. You can make show night last longer by dropping in for a drink before or after an event at nearby Vector Arena.
