What to pair it withThe food offering here is more winery-style bites than restaurant snacks, but there are plenty of options worth grazing on in a steady procession throughout your experience. There are several platters to choose from, piled with cheddar, brie, bresaola, salami, pickles and Sonoma sourdough, along with a vegan version that includes cashew cheese, hummus and tahini. Otherwise, the bar does a nice line in spirit-soaking sandwiches such as a dripping Reuben and mushroom and cheese toasties, all served with potato crisps.
Regular’s tipUnlike many venues that charge for water if you ask for anything more upscale than good old Sydney tap, the water here – still and sparkling and served in repurposed Archie Rose bottles – is complimentary. It’s a good idea to keep it coming, not only to keep yourself steady after all those spirits, but also to cleanse your palate if you’re switching things up between gins, ryes and vodkas.
