About The Conservatory Bar
The Conservatory Bar is a wine and cocktail bar on Lake Street in Cairns City, about five minutes on foot from the Esplanade lagoon. It is fitted out with dark timber, wine racks and an old-world feel, and the list runs to more than 900 wines. A Coravin system lets the bar pour a large range of wines by the glass. The cocktail list mixes classic recipes with the bar's own creations. For celebrations, groups can hire the main bar or book The Drawing Room, a secluded cellar-style room. The Drawing Room seats up to 10 and has a large screen, power points and optional private access, which suits small dinners, tastings and meetings. Group packages are built around hosted tastings for 10 to 40 guests, each with grazing boards or canapés. Choices include a flight of five Australian Shiraz from five regions, a comparison of local and international wines, and a blind tasting where teams guess what is in the glass. For a bigger occasion there is an icon tasting of collectable wines for up to 20 guests, priced on application, and a champagne tower can be set up to open the night. The bar lists birthdays, hens parties, Christmas parties and corporate events among the groups it hosts. The bar trades from Tuesday to Saturday from mid-afternoon until late. Bookings are needed for the private room and for group packages, while the main bar takes walk-ins.
