After The Tears

After The Tears was a unique Polish restaurant and vodka bar located in Elsternwick. Founded by Andrzej Kaczmarski, who had a remarkable tale of fleeing Poland during oppressive times to ultimately bring the mystical vodkas of his homeland to Australia, the restaurant offered over 100 vodkas, Polish craft beer and cocktails to accompany their food offerings. Unfortunately, After The Tears has closed permanently.

This libation has been deemed as ‘The Holy Grail’ of cocktails and with its balanced infusion of raspberry vodka and black cherry syrup, it truly is the best way to pay homage to the great man that delivered so many laughs.
