Eating & Nightlife

Dux Central

Dux Central offers an extensive range of lunch, dinner, coffee and drinks options, along with great music.

We have five distinct locations to enjoy our beer, wine, food and music:

- the Brew Bar has a truly ridiculous number of beer choices available (around 180)

- the Emerald Room provides an intimate, opulent and and elegant space for catching up with friends, and offers over 70 choices of wine

- the Upper Dux changes its vibe to suit; in the early evening you may find a mix of diners and friends catching up over a bottle of wine, while later in the evening you may be entertained by a DJ or live band

- the outdoor Courtyard is on two levels and is fully covered and heated

- the Poplar Social Club is the little cousin for Dux Central, this is a speakeasy; a bar borne of the Prohibition era and dedicated to the craft of the cocktail, and all other libations besides.

Our full menu is available throughout the venue, offering small plates, sharing plates as well as pizza and main dishes. The menu provides plenty of options for both vegetarians and meat eaters. Our Upper Dux bar provides the perfect venue for your corporate function or personal celebration.

Dux Central is ideal for groups and outdoor seating. Reservations are taken and walk-ins are welcome.
