we feel pretty strongly that meals out should be a social affair and we want you to spend time laughing and chatting, not buried in a russian novel sized drinks menu. to this end, we keep our lists tight and take our lead from the food menu, what we love to drink and small producers who we’re super excited about

the drinks lists change every time we have a good idea, so here’s a snapshot of some of our current favourite things:

pre dinner: that escalated quickly

in our opinion the perfect way to start a meal. gin, campari, white port, red capsicum & thyme syrup and a splash of tonic water

cocktail: get to the chopper

on from day one and still our favourite. a whole load of rum, a whole load of bitters, acidized pineapple and toasted coconut cream

beer: garage project ‘pickle beer’ cucumber sour

superb beer, extra refreshing and a rare and wonderful gift to those who (like us) enjoy their sours on the less fruity side

non alcoholic: grapefruit presse

fresh citrus juice, our house grapefruit, almond & star anise cordial, sparkling water

wine: harrison ‘sol blanco’ roussanne, grenache blanc

swoon-worthy in the extreme, muscly roussane, flamboyant grenache and a whole lot of soul make this ode to the south of france top of our list

after dinner: ‘nightcap’ negroni

perfect after dinner sipper. campari, rosso, frangelico & cynar all topped off with a light grating of bitter chocolate
