Chaco Bar

What Chaco Bar does

Chaco Bar is a Japanese izakaya-style restaurant operating a single dine-in location at 186-188 Victoria Street in Potts Point, Sydney, Australia. The business is built around an evening-only service model (Tuesday through Sunday from approximately 5:00 p.m. to closing) and centers its offering on a curated sake program of 14 varieties available by the glass (90ml, 180ml, 360ml) and by bottle (720ml), priced from AUD $17 to AUD $420. Supplementary beverage and food menus (A La Carte and Banquet/Groups) reinforce the izakaya positioning, with banquet menus mandatory for groups of 7+ on weekends and 15+ on weekdays.

The company's go-to-market is direct-to-consumer restaurant service. Revenue is generated through on-premise food and beverage sales, sake and other beverage sales, large-group banquet dining with deposits for groups of 15+, and gift voucher sales via the website. Pricing is unit-based at the table, augmented by a 10% weekend surcharge and a 15% public holiday surcharge, with 90-minute booking windows and a credit-card-secured cancellation policy (including an AUD $80 per-person no-show fee). Reservations are managed through the SevenRooms platform; there is no proprietary technology stack, no mobile app, and no delivery or takeaway channel indicated.

Operationally, the business is small: the firmographic data lists 8 employees. There is no public funding history, no M&A activity, no disclosed parent company, and no public ownership or ticker information. The company has no app, no SDK/API offering, no patents, and no awards disclosed in the source material. Marketing is limited to organic channels, primarily the chacobar.com.au website and an Instagram profile (@chaco_bar).
