About this space

Front Bar is a bar area in Natural History Public Bar centred on a long, linear counter that creates a distinct semi-private front space.

Design: The Front Bar interior uses warm, dark finishes, brass and timber detailing and a patterned carpet beneath a double-height ceiling. The lighting is subdued and the fit-out pairs leather stools with high tables.

Features: Bar service includes multiple draught taps, cocktails and a curated wine list. The space provides high tables and stools, Wi‑Fi, air conditioning, wheelchair access, accessible toilets and a step‑free guest entrance.

Ideal for: Small social groups seeking an informal, conversational gathering that mixes standing mingling and bar-seated drinks.

What sets it apart: The bar counter contains an under-glass collector's display of matchbooks and curios built into the serving surface.

What guests say: The Front Bar has a distinctive, museum-style interior and detailed displays. The space maintains a comfortable noise level that allows conversation.
