"THERE'S MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE AT THE BON VIVANT'S COMPANION. FOR THOSE THAT ENJOY THE FINER THINGS IN LIFE, IT DELIVERS A SURPRISING AND ELEVATED EXPERIENCE"

ABOUT

The Bon Vivant’s Companion is a cocktail and whisky bar in the heart of Mornington, inspired by the artistry of fine drinking. Taking its name from the first published bartender’s guide—written in 1863 by cocktail pioneer Professor Jerry Thomas—our bar honours the craft of mixology with a modern, elevated approach.

 

Step inside and discover an intimate space designed for lingering. Our expert bartenders craft signature cocktails and refined twists on the classics, celebrating both innovation and tradition.

 

Behind the bar, an exceptional selection awaits—highlighting local distillers, standout Australian spirits, and globally renowned favourites. Whether you're sipping an impeccably balanced Martini, exploring a rare whisky, or toasting with a vintage Champagne, each pour is considered.

 

Settle into one of our booths, soak in the warm glow of the space, and let the evening unfold.
