Treehouse

The newly opened Treehouse bar along Northbourne breathes some new life into the popular nightclub strip in Civic.

The feel is natural and design unique, with logs suspended from the ceilings and a subtle, forest inspired metallic print over a stormy grey papering the walls. Enormous mirrors reflect the glimmering lights of the tree, filing the entire space with a warm and cosy glow – perfect for winter hibernation.
