Welcome to Up The Road | Comedian's Cocktail Lounge. The world’s only cocktail bar owned and run by three professional comedians.
At Up The Road, we mix more than just spirits—we blend humour, friendship, and world-class cocktails. Best friends by day, comedy legends by night, our trio brings you a unique blend of wit and craft, serving up everything from top-tier cocktails to an impressive selection of beer, wine, and spirits.
Whether you’re here for the laughs, the drinks, or both (and let’s be real, it’s probably both), you’ll always find the vibe lively, the drinks on point, and the punchlines flowing. So, come for the cocktails, one of our amazing events like the comedy club, the Comedians Quiz night, hosted by Stand Up Comedians and enjoy a night of unforgettable banter with the funniest bartenders in town.
Up The Road—where laughter is always on tap, and the cocktails are just as strong as our punchlines!
