Your party. Our place. Let’s make it a good one.

Looking for a Hamilton event venue with a little more personality?

Welcome to The Cocktail Bar - our vibrant little pocket of fabulousness in the heart of Hamilton CBD, available for private hire for celebrations, corporate events and everything in between.

Think beautiful cocktails, delicious food, a colourful space and the kind of warm welcome that makes everyone feel right at home.

More Than Just a Cocktail Bar

We love a Friday night cocktail as much as the next person, but hand us the keys to your party and we’re in our element!

The Cocktail Bar is available for private venue hire in Hamilton and can be transformed to suit all sorts of occasions including:

Milestone birthdays & celebrations | Engagements & wedding receptions | Hens parties | Christmas parties | Corporate functions & team events | Networking evenings | Workshops & creative events | Brand launches & collaborations | Fundraisers | A darn good party!

Got something a little different in mind? Even better. Tell us what you're plotting.

Cocktails? Obviously.

It wouldn't be The Cocktail Bar without them!

Our full range of handcrafted cocktails is available for your event, along with low-alcohol and mocktail options so everyone can join in the fun.

Add our onsite catering, Dorothy and the team looking after your guests, and a space that's already bursting with personality, and suddenly hosting a party feels a whole lot easier.

Your Event, Your Way

No two celebrations are quite the same - and we wouldn't want them to be.

Whether you're imagining drinks and nibbles with your work crew, cocktails for a milestone birthday, an intimate wedding reception or a full-blown evening of fabulousness, we'll work with you to create an event that feels like you.

The Cocktail Bar has already played host to private celebrations and corporate gatherings to Drag Queen Bingo, Sip & Paint, Quiz & Sip and creative collaborations.
