The Piano Bar
A love letter to Byron Bay...
Welcome to The Piano Bar – a new space inspired by the golden glow of Byron Bay, where it’s always golden hour.
Join us Thursday to Saturday for cocktails, calm dinner moments and live piano sessions that set the tone for the night. Request a song or just let the evening unfold.


A New Chapter
A Timeless Icon
For fifteen years, Australasia has been more than a restaurant, it has been a destination. A subterranean escape beneath Manchester’s streets, where flavours from across the Pacific Rim met refined dining in an effortlessly stylish setting.
Now, the story evolves.
Not a reinvention, but a transformation. A natural progression of everything that made Australasia iconic, reimagined with new energy, deeper influences and an experience that lingers long after the last bite.
Expect a menu rooted in tradition yet boldly modern, where premium ingredients meet open-flame cooking and immersive table-side moments.
A space that shifts from ambient sophistication by day to a vibrant, dynamic atmosphere by night. A bar that invites you to stay longer, sip slower, and savour every detail.
This is Australasia. Reborn, but never forgotten.
