Cascades Bar & Courtyard
Cascade Bar and Courtyard, is a space designed for after-work drinks, lunches, casual dining, functions, and live music from a range of talented musicians. It's the perfect place to meet up for drinks before or after dining at Soul Quarter if you're looking for a more formal experience or to catch up with friends over tapas, burgers, and fried chicken waffles.
As well the classics, we specialise in our own custom-designed cocktails, created using premium ingredients and our team’s extensive international cocktail experience, with seasonal menu changes to keep things interesting. The wine and craft beer list has some of the best wines our region has to offer, a great range from further afield, including premium champagne bottles and specially selected craft beer.
The menu is based around sharing plates and light meals for a casual dining experience with comfortable booth seating inside, quieter, group, and function seating upstairs overlooking the fairy lights, or a sunny seat in the sheltered courtyard. The glass entrance lobby on High Street blocks the wind to the courtyard, creating a sheltered and inviting space for outside dining or after-work drinks, with outdoor heaters for cooler days and nights.
We have live music on Friday and Saturday nights with a range of talented musicians to get you moving or provide background ambiance during happy hour. Check out our social media pages to find out what's coming up.
Our dedicated functions team is available to help plan your function and make your event run smoothly. We cater for small groups up to larger-scale corporate or social events and have different spaces that can work for you.
Come down and enjoy all the different spaces that we have to offer. We look forward to seeing you.
