Signature cocktails are infused with maritime character, featuring ingredients like green laver seaweed, wakame, and smoked sea salts to evoke a strong sense of place. These drinks are carefully matched with bites from the menu, with select sips supporting the Great Southern Reef Foundation’s kelp reforestation efforts.
With hydrowood furnishings, a cosy indoor fire, and a balcony overlooking Constitution Dock to kunanyi/Mt Wellington, Kelp Bar is a destination for all seasons , memorable for its mission as much as its atmosphere.
