Once upon a time, Evil Genius started as a ‘bar & lair’. Over time, we evolved—growing into our thriving bar and restaurant, while The Lair was left behind. Now, with our friends at Genius Co-working moving to a new location, we’re excited to announce that The Lair is BACK!

Spanning a generous 167sqm, The Lair is a fully licensed, newly refurbished venue offering a mix of indoor and outdoor areas, all connected to the beloved Evil Genius Bar & Restaurant. Enjoy estuary views and a giant courtyard, perfect for your next gathering.
