REVIEWS:

“This place has it all – the service, the drinks and the food. Our waitress was absolutely brilliant, her knowledge of gins was second to none. We decided to try their tartar and it was delicious and we wanted more. They have an endless variety of gins and take the time to explain their origin, flavours and pairing. Awesome place – can not wait to have another drink here (and some food) next time in Canberra. Top marks for the service.” – David Gava
