Theory Bar

  • Bar

A classic laneway bar, with an emphasis on cocktails, comedy and film events.

This fully-accessible venue features outdoor seating, a large indoor bar and multipurpose spaces. Events run frequently in the front bar, including comedy and trivia nights, film and web series premieres, fashion shows, industry nights, and more. The Void sound system keeps the tunes pumping, with engaging visuals projected onto the feature walls.

The house cocktail list is not to be missed with the Jungle Bird fast becoming a customer favourite.

Formerly known as Loop Bar, Theory Bar is run by the team at The Improv Conspiracy Theatre.
