We’re CaneCutters – your friendly neighbourhood bar

Nestled at the Punt Road end of Toorak Road, we're right on the edge of South Yarra – just past the buzz of the restaurants and wine bars. You’ll find us pouring beers, serving sangas, and holding down a small but lively corner of the community.

CaneCutters is built around the idea of the classic local – a place that’s easy to drop into solo, with your dog, with a date, or with your crew. It’s casual, welcoming, and always well stocked.

What we offer:

  • Booze
    A tightly curated selection – quality-driven, nostalgic when it counts, and always with something for everyone. We work with a handful of excellent breweries and suppliers we trust.

  • Kitchen
    We do proper sangas, the classics done right, with a menu designed to pair perfectly with your drink, not distract from it.

  • Courtyard
    Under-cover, dog-friendly, and heated. Your mate’s dog is also welcome.

  • Pool Room
    A full-size 8-ball pub table, comfy lounge area, and a locals’ comp night where reputations are made and broken.

  • Public Bar
    Nine coveted stools around a beautiful, hand-crafted bar made from recycled timber by our mate Carlos. We pour draught beer in traditional dimple mugs and 7oz glasses. Plus, “we hear” a decent pint of Guinness.

Why CaneCutters?
It’s a nod to the Swamp Rabbit – a story best told over a drink. (Ask us when you visit.)

We like to think we’re the kind of place you can come alone and still feel at home. Whether you're sinking a pint, reading a book in the courtyard, or just passing through – there's always a spot for you at CaneCutters.
