About Hanky Panky Lounge
Hanky Panky Lounge is a small cocktail and whisky bar on Mitchell Street, opened in January 2022 by bartender Anneliese Grazioli. The menu sticks to classic recipes, each given a twist inspired by its base spirit, the season or the bar team, and the staff are happy to talk through the whisky list.
It is an 18-plus venue with snacks rather than full meals, and suits a quieter drink before or after the busier end of the strip. During the 2026 Darwin Festival it hosted Vinyl & Cocktails, pairing classic drinks with curated records.
