When it comes to cocktail joints that nail the vibe and the pour, Boston Shaker Bar is absolutely crushing it. Founded by local legend Livi Robins, this place is a proper throwback to the glamour and grit of the 1920s—with a modern twist that makes it one of the best cocktail bars in Australia.
A dream shaken, stirred, and poured by Livi Robins.
Livi dreamed big and made it happen right here at The Wharf in Mooloolaba. Boston Shaker isn’t just your average speakeasy homage; it’s where velvet drapes meet killer cocktails and an atmosphere so smooth you might just lose track of time. Since opening in 2018, Livi’s vision has poured out into a space that’s equal parts classy and cosy, with cocktails crafted to make your taste buds sing.
Classic cocktails, made easy and fun.
This isn’t a stiff-upper-lip kind of place where cocktail menus read like rocket science. No way. Boston Shaker Bar is all about classic drinks with a cheeky twist, making timeless recipes approachable for everyone—even if you’re just finding your feet in the world of mixology. Fun fact: they even ditch the usual egg whites in sours for vegan-friendly foams—because everyone deserves a damn good cocktail, no matter what.
More than just a bar — it’s a vibe.
Whether you’re keen on a chilled night sipping jazz-era classics or ready to party with disco lights and a good crew, Boston Shaker Bar adapts and thrives. They even throw cocktail shaking classes that turn you from newbie to pro in one session—because who doesn’t want to shake a martini like a boss? Perfect for birthdays, hens, or that work crew that needs a break.
Raise a glass to the best.
So next time you’re cruising the Sunshine Coast and ready to trade your usual for something a bit special, Boston Shaker Bar is the spot. Big shoutout to Livi Robins for bringing that Prohibition-era magic with a fresh local twist and making it a home for anyone craving bold flavours and killer vibes.
Boston Shaker Bar: cocktails crafted with soul, served with style, and made for every kind of night out. It’s no wonder people say it’s one of Australia’s best. Cheers to that!
