If you’re looking for a cocktail bar in Thirroul that feels relaxed, stylish and full of personality, you’ve found it. At Duck in Heaven, we’ve created a space where good food meets good company, and the drinks always hit the spot. Whether you’re winding down after work or kicking off a big night, our little bar is made for moments that matter.
Our Thirroul cocktail bar isn’t about over-the-top gimmicks. It’s about balance, like the way the music hums softly under the chatter, or how the glow from the bar lights hits the orchids on each table. Every drink is mixed to perfection, designed to pair beautifully with our signature dishes from the menu.
From refreshing spritzes to smooth sours and bold classics, our bartenders know how to pour something that suits your night. It’s the perfect spot to catch up with friends, toast to something special, or just stay a little longer than you planned.
Perfect for Date Night, Pre-Theatre Drinks or Sunday Chill
At Duck in Heaven, the cocktails aren’t an afterthought, they’re part of the experience. The wine list is carefully curated to complement everything from our handmade dumplings to the famous Peking Duck, while our cocktails bring a playful twist to the night.
It’s what makes us more than a Thirroul restaurant, we’re a place where flavours, laughter, and great drinks come together. You can feel the care in every detail, from the presentation to the way the ingredients are balanced.
Good cocktails deserve great food. Whether you’re sharing plates with friends or tucking into something for yourself, every bite pairs beautifully with what’s in your glass.
Join us for Sunday Yum Cha, it’s one of Thirroul’s favourite weekend traditions, where baskets of dim sum and fresh pours make the perfect combination. Or, if you’re feeling creative, book one of our Gyoza Making Classes and learn how to fold dumplings like a pro before celebrating with a cocktail at the bar.
There’s something special about Thirroul, the heritage buildings, the buzzing main street, and that coastal charm that pulls people in. We’re proud to be part of it. Our restaurant and bar have become a little hub for locals and travellers alike, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
Our story and love for the Illawarra were even featured in the Illawarra Mercury, where we shared how tradition and creativity come together in everything we do. Learn more about our journey on our About Us page.
