About this space

Primrose & Vine is an independent wine bar defined by a focused wine programme and casual, street-facing terrace seating that favours relaxed, neighbourhood-style drinking and dining.

Design: The venue has a compact, shelf-lined interior with timber tables and a modest bar counter that opens onto a small street-facing terrace with parasols. Natural light and a restrained colour palette give the space a practical, informal character.

Features: The bar serves wine by the glass alongside a menu of cheese, charcuterie and wood-fired pizza, and stocks a rotating range of craft beers and bespoke spirits. The venue runs free, curated tastings on Saturdays and provides Wi‑Fi, air conditioning, a PA system/speakers and wheelchair access.

Ideal for: Groups seeking a relaxed, social gathering for seated meals or casual drinks in an intimate, neighbourhood-style setting.

What sets it apart: An on-site retail wine store holds an extensive selection of over 250 imported and Australian bottles and allows any bottle purchased in-store to be opened and consumed in the bar.

What guests say: The space is calm and welcoming and staff are attentive and knowledgeable about the wine list. The wine selection and food offerings are thoughtful and well chosen.
