Natural Wine Bar set to open in July 2025
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE JUNE 2025
Secret Speakeasy-Style Bar Opens in Burringbar This July – Hidden Entry and Secret Codes Required
New venue combines mystery, craft cocktails and natural wines in NSW's scenic Northern Rivers
BURRINGBAR, NSW – The small village of Burringbar is about to get a lot more exciting with the opening of a clandestine new bar that promises to blur the lines between mystery and cocktail culture. Opening to the public in July 2025, this speakeasy-style venue will require guests to discover secret entry points and unlock access codes – adding an element of adventure to the Northern Rivers nightlife scene.
Located in the heart of Burringbar – just 25 minutes drive from Byron Bay – and surrounded by popular Airbnb accommodations and the picturesque Rail Trail, the bar is perfectly positioned for weekend getaways from Sydney, Gold Coast or Brisbane that combine outdoor adventure with sophisticated evening entertainment.
The venue operates as a dual concept: during the day, "Pour Good" cafe @pour.good serves expertly crafted coffee with fresh pastries and snacks, then transforms into the secret wine bar at night.
The venue features an impressive lineup of craft cocktails – some with fire elements – alongside an extensive cellar of natural wines and premium selections. Beautiful seasonal food offerings will be enhanced by rotating pop-up chef events, bringing acclaimed culinary talent to this intimate regional setting.
Adding to the unique experience, the bar will host DIY nights on Thursdays and Sundays where guests can purchase any bottle from the adjacent Natural Wine Shop and enjoy it at the bar for a small corkage fee, paired with a selection of snacks to choose from.
"We wanted to create something truly special and accessible – a destination that gives people a reason to explore beyond the usual spots," says Bron, the owner. "The secret entry concept adds theatre to the experience, while our ethos of 'drink better, drink less' guides everything we do. We believe that small amounts of quality alcohol can forge genuine connections."
The bar's connection to the established Natural Wine Shop – previously featured in Qantas Magazine, Australian Good Food Guide (AGFG), NRMA Magazine, news.com.au, and other local and international publications – provides access to rare and exceptional bottles, making it a haven for wine enthusiasts seeking unique drops in a relaxed, mysterious atmosphere.
With Burringbar's growing reputation as a weekend retreat destination, complete with charming local accommodation, antique shops, vintage clothing stores and the popular Rail Trail for cycling and walking all in close vicinity, the new bar adds another compelling reason to plan an escape to this Northern Rivers gem.
