What a fabulous venue. The manager and bar staff were amazing, they kept the bar tab under control and worked easily with us to keep uninvited guests out. A fabulous party night was had by all. The food was terrific and the atmosphere sensational. Highly recommend

About Banzai Bar

Banzai began the moment a Japanese gang of fun loving motorcycle and karaoke enthusiasts randomly stumbled into a boring “traditional” teppanyaki restaurant, deciding to take it over by force and make it their clubhouse.
Every inch of Banzai is specifically designed for rest and/or recreation, inside and out. Sing your heart out, play like a child, eat yourself silly or just take it easy and watch the sun go down? You’re the boss

Functions (Parties)

Banzai is specifically designed to accommodate intimate gatherings, birthdays, date nights and/or celebrity break-ups? If you missed your birthday coz of C-19, we feel you, so we’re offering belated birthday packages that allow you to finally have your cake and slash it with a samurai sword too.

We also cater well to corporate group functions (parties) for any reason EOFY / Xmas / Closing Down / You tell us?
...or if you'd like to throw one huge exclusive event with the place to yourself, we could be up for that too.

Corporate events | Birthday parties | Karaoke | Pub Game Wars | Hen’s nights | Bucks nights | Hux nights

We Do Food

Since that fateful day, the Banzai gang have offered locals, and all who enter, a heavy hitting mash-up of gourmet style burgers, a unique selection of Japas (Japanese Tapas) and a wide array of weird beers, bubble cup cocktails and other crazy concoctions.

The heart of Banzai is our kitchen and our passionate chefs who only source and prepare the best of Japanese produce, then serve it up in ways that would make traditional chef’s dizzy.


We Have Drinks

The Rockstars behind our bar are capable of serving up amazing beers, bubble cup cocktails and other mysterious concoctions like you may well not have seen before.
We also proudly boast a wide range of authentic Japanese sake and whiskey
(that stuff we take seriously).
