Now and Then Bar

Discover Now and Then, a captivating basement bar nestled in the heart of 222 Clarence Street. Built by Dezign, this project epitomizes collaborative creativity, overcoming challenging conditions to craft an immersive experience.

Step into a realm where past and present converge seamlessly. Now and Then pays homage to the rich tapestry of drinks throughout history while embracing modern hospitality trends. Every aspect, from furniture to joinery, meticulously crafted in-house by Dezign, infusing the space with a unique charm.

As you descend into the semi-heritage-listed basement, prepare to be enveloped by a symphony of autumn hues. Dark timber floors provide a warm foundation, complemented by sumptuous velvet booths and curtains that beckon you to cozy up in hidden alcoves. Vibrant touches punctuate the venue, tastefully avoiding clichés to maintain an air of sophistication.

Despite its basement setting, Now and Then remains connected to the world above. Elevated seating allows guests to bask in the twilight glow filtering through street-level windows, enhancing the ambience as they indulge in a refreshing shandy or a generous pour of Australian Chardonnay.

The bar’s exquisite finishes elevate its allure, with a marble splashback bar exuding elegance, while neutral trimmings create a timeless aesthetic. Timber flooring lends a rustic charm, complemented by the plushness of velvet curtains and the inviting embrace of ribbed banquettes.

Experience the allure of Now and Then—a sanctuary where the past whispers tales of bygone eras, and the present invites you to savor every moment.
