With a stunning collection of bottles and laser-sharp bartending, plus atmosphere to burn, this is a Queensland classic that is sure to raise your spirits.
There’s a clear-cut focus on whisky here, but it’s definitely not to the exclusion of other good things. If whisky is your thing, though, or you’d like it to be, you’ll love the occasional whisky tasting events, and that crazy list – broad and deep enough to include a $13 single-malt from Speyside alongside an ultra-premium 33-year-old Craigellachie, on pour for $195 a shot. In fact, if you’re keen on malts, it’s worth taking time to trawl through the menu before leaving the house. If you just want to get down to business though, and get into the refreshments, the bartenders here also do double-duty as table servers, so it’s easy to ask questions and get advice.
As for the rest of us? Who wouldn’t be happy with a perfectly mixed cocktail – perhaps an icy Martini? They’re not listed, but always available, like all the classics and faves from past menus. Or maybe a nostalgia-inducing Sunny Boy is more your speed. The one you enjoyed as a kid probably didn’t feature Absolut Elyx vodka infused with coconut and butter. But it’s been on the menu here since the place opened in 2013. Or perhaps a glass of wine? It might not be the main attraction here, but you’ll certainly find something classic to enjoy.
