Le Bar Supper Club
Raise a crystal glass to French food, fancy drinks and burlesque shows in this Beaumaris bar.
Overview
Champagne flutes and caviar bumps. Gold-trimmed mirrors and tinkling diamond chandeliers. The crescendo of a saxophone on record and the kick of a burlesque dancer's heel into the air. It's not an evening at Mr Gatsby's estate or the teenage memories of your great-grandparents — it's a bar, hidden in Beaumaris of all places.
Tucked away in the unassuming suburbs of Beaumaris, Le Bar Supper Club is an ode to the rip-roaring 20s. With a healthy dose of French flavours and a prohibition-era attitude, it's all about elegance and indulgence.
The menu is packed with French flair. Besides the aforementioned caviar, there's oyster, lobster, octopus and a toasted baguette with honey and brie, just on the first page. Turn a page to find caramelised French onion soup, oak-cured smoked salmon, and chicken liver pate. The mains don't drop the crystal ball, with an eggplant and basil lasagne, twice-cooked duck leg à l'orange, a 220-gram aged Angus eye fillet and more on offer.
Drinks are crafted by in-house sommelier and mixologist Jai Singh, who took notes from menus gone by. The signature cocktails are the kinds of beverages that are best discovered by your tastebuds, not your eyes, but each is inspired by popular drinks of the 19th and 20th centuries — star ingredients include Prohibition gin, caviar-washed Haku vodka, wattle-seed bourbon, maple whisky and Chartreuse.
Then there's the events program. What good is a supper club without entertainment? Le Bar boasts a regular program of live jazz, swing and French music every Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday night, broken up by burlesque shows every Friday and Saturday night.
