Father's Office
Father’s Office resurrects the enigmatic allure of 1920s speakeasies — once Prohibition’s not-so-hidden gems. A century on, it captures that spirit with a bold, contemporary edge. Step through the doors on Lt Lonsdale Street, ascend the old oak stairs and enter a reimagined 1920s realm infused with modern flair.
