The overview
About The Blacksmith Bar
The Blacksmith Bar occupies a building at 69 Swan Street that dates to 1924, when it traded as McNaughton's Ironmongers. The original name is still visible on the facade. The bar opened to the public in September 2019 after a renovation and is run by Pratt Hospitality Group, the team behind Katuk and Maeve Fox.
The cocktail list is kept short and uncomplicated, focusing on old classics. The bar suits casual drinks with friends, and the venue also runs cocktail masterclasses.
Groups can book the upstairs space for private functions, while casual functions and group bookings are held in the main bar. It opens from 4pm on weekdays and 2pm on weekends, with late closing on Fridays and Saturdays.
