About us

Cocktail weddings, celebrations and private gatherings on Chapel Street

Bring your birthday, engagement, wedding celebration or corporate gathering to Katuk in South Yarra. Set in the Chapel Street nightlife precinct opposite the Jam Factory, our bar offers a comfortable, individual setting for an occasion that feels social rather than formal, with food and beverage arrangements shaped around your group.

Our Front Lounge is a semi-private, roped-off space for up to 70 cocktail guests. It combines seating and standing room with exclusive balcony access overlooking Chapel Street and a TV for photos or videos. For a smaller, more casual gathering, the Cubby Courtyard accommodates up to 30 cocktail guests in a nook within our indoor courtyard, including the Katuk Cubby House.

Full-venue hire provides an alternative arrangement for stand-up cocktail events of up to 170 guests. Cocktail-style weddings and other private events can be arranged on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. These options use overlapping areas within the same venue, so individual space capacities should not be added together; confirm your date, guest limit and hire conditions with our team.

We welcome Christmas celebrations, product launches, company occasions, bridal gatherings and other milestones as well as casual group bookings. You can discuss tailored food and beverage packages or arrangements where guests purchase their own drinks. For a more interactive gathering, ask about our cocktail, gin and whisky masterclasses, which bring a dedicated teacher, drinks and canapés into the occasion.

Share your preferred date, approximate guest numbers and the type of event you have in mind. Our functions team can help you select a space and agree the practical details around your plans.

I’ve been here 3 times. Twice with Sela (?) as the bartender and have had an amazing time. Would definitely recommend on a weekend or even a weekday. Would come back purely because the bartender is so amazing.

Ended up here after hearing it was a great cocktail bar around Chapel Street, and honestly it was such a lucky find because they had $15 classic cocktails that night. Safe to say my ongoing martini research made some serious progress. Loved the atmosphere, low lights, good music, and that perfect mix of cosy and trendy without feeling pretentious 🍸

I don’t get when my Negroni doesn’t hit the spot. It did here. A delish classic Negroni served by cool Mark.

Moody lighting and ambience a-plenty. Plenty of cocktails to choose from and while some are expensive, there is a drink for every taste. The mixologists behind the bar are wonderfully knowledgeable and prepare beautifully crafted beverages.
