Correction (3 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources between 2 October 2026 and 3 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
None of the five places we could verify has an address in Officer itself. Three are in Pakenham and two are in Beaconsfield, so this is bars for dates in and around Officer, and the drive is part of the plan.
We kept to places whose own pages mention a bar, cocktails, wine or a wine-bar name, and sorted them by date stage. Prices and hours appear only where we could read them, and we did not record accessibility details for any of them, so ask when you book. Plan B if the first pick is full: Sec 13 lists every day from 4:00 PM to 10:00 PM on its own site. Low stakes, no pressure.
The quick picks
| If you’re after | Head to | Order this | Price |
|---|---|---|---|

| Live bands, DJ nights and a lounge bar | Pink Hill Hotel | see below | not printed here |
Copper & Fox — 1/38 Lakeside Boulevard, Pakenham VIC 3810
Copper & Fox is in Pakenham, and its own site advertises a Monday to Thursday offer on cocktails and wines. Its dinner menu on the site is an image, so we could not read its mains or their prices. The site’s contact page prints two different sets of opening and closing times, so confirm them before you book a table for two.
On the menu (copied from copperandfox.com.au on 2 October 2026):
- Wines, Monday to Thursday offer: $7
- Cocktails, Monday to Thursday offer: $15
Split or splurge: the budget end is the $7 wines and $15 cocktails on the Monday to Thursday offer in its drinks menu.
Say this: its beverage menu is labelled as the Winter 2026 edition, so ask what has changed since.
DoppioZero Pizzeria & Wine Bar (Beaconsfield) — 10 Brunt Road (Melaleuca Lodge), Beaconsfield VIC 3807
DoppioZero is in Beaconsfield, and it is mainly a pizzeria, so we list it here for the wine bar in its name. We could not read a wine list or any prices for it. Its own site says it is “family owned and operated” and lists Monday to Thursday 5pm to 10pm, Friday 5pm to 11pm, Saturday 12pm to 3pm and 5pm to 9:30pm, and Sunday 12pm to 10pm.
Stage: a dinner date where the food leads, since the pages we read describe a pizzeria with evening opening hours.
Frankies (Pakenham) — Shop 4-5 Lakeside Shopping Centre, Pakenham VIC 3810
Frankies is in the Lakeside Shopping Centre in Pakenham, and OpenStreetMap tags it as a cafe. Its own site mentions cocktails alongside food and coffee, and lists 6.30am to 4pm Monday to Friday and 7am to 3pm Saturday and Sunday. Those hours end in the afternoon, which makes it a daytime option. The site also links a pick-up menu and a Book a Table button, and we could not read item prices on the pages we fetched.
Stage: a first date over coffee, because it is tagged as a cafe and its listed hours stop in the afternoon.
Sec 13 — 825 Princes Hwy, Pakenham VIC 3810
Sec 13 is in Pakenham. Its own site describes a “fully licensed bar, offering handcrafted cocktails, curated wines, and premium spirits” next to an Indian menu, and lists Monday To Sunday 4:00 PM To 10:00 PM. The prices below are from its takeaway menu on the ordering page, so ask whether dine-in prices are the same. Butter chicken is chicken in a mild tomato and butter gravy, and a naan is the bread you tear to mop it up.
On the menu (copied from sec13.com.au on 2 October 2026):
- Butter Chicken: $22.90
- Dal Makhani: $19.90
- Veg Biryani: $18.00
Split or splurge: share the Butter Chicken at $22.90 and add a Butter Naan at $4.00.
Pink Hill Hotel — 20 Pink Hill Boulevard, Beaconsfield VIC 3807
Pink Hill Hotel is in Beaconsfield. Its own site says you can “catch live bands and ticketed shows in our purpose-built entertainment venue”, mentions a lounge bar for cocktails, and lists a beer garden and outdoor terraces. Its events page names poker, trivia, DJ and acoustic duo nights, with no dates in what we read. We could not read menu prices, so none appear here, and you should check current opening hours on its site.
Talk-ability: a later date, when music is part of the plan, which we infer from its own listing of live bands and DJ nights.
