Goodwater is a relaxed yet refined whiskey and cocktail bar tucked away at 300 High Street, Northcote, VIC.

Home to one of Australia’s most impressive collections of American whiskey, over 250 bottles, ranging from reliable favorites like Michter's and Maker’s Mark to rare and experimental bottlings.

Heritage-style interior with exposed-brick walls adorned with framed Mississippi River maps, high ceilings, and warm lighting.

Large windows open wide on sunny days, perfect for people-watching while sipping a well-crafted whiskey or cocktail.

Crafted by a team of hospitality veterans, including bartenders from Bar Margaux, Whisky & Alement, The Everleigh, and more.

Inspired by American cocktail bars in cities like Brooklyn and New Orleans, Goodwater blends serious whiskey with a welcoming, unpretentious atmosphere.

Each cocktail flavor profile is available in three versions: short & strong, tall & refreshing, or non-alcoholic, a thoughtful approach to inclusivity and preference.

Creative and playful house cocktails include the “Badwater” (vodka-based cruiser) and a Nitro Espresso Martini from a converted Smeg fridge.

The food menu features distinctive American-inspired bar snacks and regional specialties:

• Crinkle-cut fries with Old Bay seasoning & smoked-oyster aioli
• French onion grilled cheese
• Shrimp po’ boys
• Fried pickles and General Tso’s chicken ribs
• Shrimp po’ boys and other inventive takes on sandwiches

Drinks also include a well-selected range of beers and wines, including returning American imports and Australian options in American styles.
