About Whiskey & Wine
Whiskey & Wine is a cocktail and wine bar on level 2 at 85 Esplanade, in the heart of Cairns City. Entry is from Abbott Street, and the Esplanade Boardwalk is only steps away. The bar opens onto a balcony that looks over the Coral Sea and across to the mountains of East Trinity. Inside, brass and gold detailing gives the room a polished but easy-going feel. For private events the bar takes up to 200 guests across the indoor bar and the balcony. It is set up for cocktail-style gatherings, with high tables, bar stools and balcony seating. Drinks are the focus here. The bartenders shake classic and signature cocktails, and the list runs deep on whiskeys and wines from Australia and overseas. The bar sits inside a hotel whose events team plans functions across the building, from corporate functions and team-building days to Christmas events and social gatherings. Food for a bar event is worked out with that team as part of the quote. The bar is cash-free and takes debit cards and all major credit cards. A 15% surcharge applies on public holidays.
