THAI FOOD, BEER, WINE, COCKTAILS & DISCO
Step through the stenciled brown-paper door and into a vast space complete with soaring ceilings and parquetry walls, adorned with the murals and artwork of local Melbourne artists: Beci Orpin, Misha Hollenbach, and Monika Ippoliti. Notice how the candied bottles fill the shelves and beautiful Juliette Balconies flood the room with light and allow for a phenomenal view of the Melbourne City Skyline. Pockets of nostalgia can be found in every corner as encyclopedias and childhood stories are scattered throughout the space.
In the restaurant our Thai kitchen brigade produces regional and family favorites that elevate the menu from the standard notions of a Green Curry, offering authentic Thai dishes like crispy fish and green papaya salad, or the signature pork belly red curry with green peppercorns and kaffir lime. Cookie epitomizes the Melbourne tradition of standing out and welcoming everyone: a modern Thai Restaurant forever changing the meaning of Asian Fusion.
Paying tribute to European Beer Halls of the past, this large open space is home to up to 80 beers at a time. Supporting a mixture of local favorites and mainstream classics. Look at our selection of bottled beers and you’ll be greeted with a strong European influence. Have a look into the beers on tap and find a few of those sneaky locals. Our bartenders can’t wait to introduce you to the world of beers: sours, red ales, lagers and so many more are waiting for you to taste.
If beer is not your thing, our wine bar will not disappoint. With a menu that has over 230 wines showcasing varietals from more than 20 countries, you’ll find a diverse selection that’s sure to please and a bartender who’s ready to recommend.
Our cocktail bar can be located just behind the main bar and with a cocktail menu that’s a perfect blend of unique and classic; variety is key. Sip on a Spritz, enjoy an Amaro, catch heat with a Bloody Mary, D.I.Y a Frozen Daiquiri, or pay tribute to Cookie Legends of the past with our Old Favorite’s list. These handmade cocktails are tailored specifically to your liking, using our house made syrups and cordials; that feature kitchen ingredients like Thai Vanilla, further playing into the authenticity of our Thai roots.
The flexible hue of Cookie allows for it to be moulded to one’s needs. From the laidback charm, soaking in the rays of the afternoon sun to then tripping over the light fantastic as the DJs warm up the room and blend in with the aromatic spices that hang in the air.
