The Black Cockatoo

Bar snacks$

A fun grungy bar in Wollongong with ’80s records spinning all night.

If you’re looking for a drink or two, Miller’s Local on Kembla Street leads into the dark, easygoing Black Cockatoo bar come nightfall, where good times are always rolling. Gregarious staff are down for a chin-wag and excellent drink recommendations. Always ask about the cocktail special, and you may find yourself rewarded with pineapple hot honey margaritas. Pro tip: The Black Cockatoo holds a coaster drawing competition every Wednesday night, so get in touch with your inner cartoonist and you may score a $50 voucher.
