The Duxton

Located in the suburban O'Connor shopping precinct, this sprawling, multi-level local institution is a classic bar in a suburban shop setting. Spanning several distinct spaces—including a sports bar, a sunny terrace, and 'The Loft' cocktail lounge—it is highly popular as a relaxed spot for pre-dinner drinks before patrons move on to one of the many fantastic small restaurants in the surrounding shopping plaza. The kitchen also serves up premium wood-fired pizzas and excellent share platters.
