Flaggerdoot

Flaggerdoot, housed within Jackalope Hotel on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula, is a cocktail bar that embodies the property’s avant-garde design ethos. From the outset it was conceived as an alchemist’s workshop, a space where creativity, performance and drink craft converge. The result is a venue that captivates through theatre as much as through taste, elevating the art of the cocktail into an immersive experience.

The design sets the tone: dramatic lighting, dark finishes and contemporary artworks create a mood that is seductive and slightly surreal. The restored Edwardian homestead, reimagined through a modern lens, provides a striking backdrop. Within this environment, guests encounter a series of spaces that invite both intimacy and spectacle. The bar itself becomes a stage, where bartenders perform with precision and flair, crafting drinks that are as visually arresting as they are balanced.

Cocktails at Flaggerdoot are guided by the philosophy of transformation. Ingredients are treated as raw materials to be shaped, blended and elevated into something unexpected. The menu often draws on local botanicals, artisanal spirits and seasonal produce, ensuring that each creation feels rooted in the region while pushing boundaries of form and flavour. The drinks are complemented by a wine list that reflects the depth of the Mornington Peninsula and beyond, positioning Flaggerdoot firmly within Australia’s luxury bar culture.

Service is an essential part of the experience. Staff engage with enthusiasm and authority, guiding guests through the menu while maintaining a sense of discovery. The approach is personal without being prescriptive, ensuring that every visit feels distinct. Attention to detail extends beyond the bar to the seating, lighting and sound, ensuring that comfort matches spectacle.

As an expression of Jackalope Hotel’s design-led philosophy, Flaggerdoot is more than a bar – it is an encounter with imagination, crafted for travellers and locals who see luxury as artful, playful and immersive.
