A New Era for a Familiar Space

Dom’s is a three-level bar, restaurant, and rooftop located in the space that used to be home to rooftop bar Peaches and the downstairs restaurant Cheek. It’s owned by Sam Peasnell, his brother Tom, and their friend Adam Goldblatt, who also run Preston’s Dexter and Takeaway Pizza.

Woodfired Pizzas and Bistro Vibes

When you climb the hand-stained timber stairs to the first floor, you’ll find woodfired pizzas topped with house-made charcuterie—some of which you can see hanging in the dry-ageing fridge. The cozy space features bistro-style leather booths. Start your meal with snacks like potato skins with goats’ curd and anchovy, stracciatella with sweet and tangy onion agrodolce, mozzarella croquettes, and tempura pumpkin served with curry-leaf aioli.

Flavours That Travel Upward

The lively atmosphere and food flow across all three floors. A must-try pizza has a tomato base topped with mortadella, fermented honey, garlic, and thyme. Another unique option uses a kalamata olive base with fefferoni peppers and spicy salami. Tom, who was also involved with Cheek, is the expert behind the house-made deli meats, including a whole-pig salami made from Yarra Valley Berkshire pork and the mortadella used on the honey-drizzled pizza.

A Cocktail Program That Shines

Bar manager Morgan Cook oversees the drinks menu, which focuses mainly on wines and aperitifs across all levels, but the cocktails are just as impressive. You’ll find creative twists on classic drinks featuring amaros, sherries, and vermouths, plus plenty of Australian spirits like Poor Tom’s gin, Delinquente Wine Co’s Bizzarro Aperitivo, and Brookie’s macadamia and wattleseed frangelico.

Rooftop Views and Laid-Back Charm

Upstairs, the public bar has a relaxed feel with royal-blue carpet around a wood-paneled bar and a pool table out back. The rooftop is mostly the same as when it was Peaches, just refreshed with a few touches of blue paint. It’s one of the best places in the CBD to enjoy a drink with a view.
