Pendant Public Bar is one of Melbourne’s newest celebrated cocktail bars, taking out Best New Bar in Victoria at the Boothby Awards and Best New Bar in Australia at the Australian Bartender Bar Awards 2025.
Proper Carpentry delivered the full joinery package for the new build of Pendant Public Bar, working alongside Stelling Carpentry and Studio Heck as the designer. The build includes custom booth seating, the statement bar, tiling and bespoke Tasmanian Oak tables.


"Sam from Proper Carpentry completed our fit-out in an almost impossible time frame, with no shortcuts on finishes. Proper’s close working relationship with our designers (Studio Heck) meant we were able to focus our energy on other areas of opening the business, knowing the process from design to build was going to be seamless. Nothing was ever too hard and the project was delivered on time. We receive daily compliments on the attention to detail on the fit out and we know that a large portion of our success is due to the atmosphere created by the design & build of our small bar. We’d 100% work with Proper again for any future projects."
