We came for some drinks and desserts and loved it! The gin paddles and sours were delicious. The service by Kate and Rohullah was great - they were both incredibly attentive and knowledgeable. Will definitely come back!

Love the speakeasy city vibes, incredible staff members, bartenders are very knowledgeable, know their stuff, and are always keen to chat with new people like myself. Such a unique spot for gippsland, nothing like it around the region. If you love your gin and whiskeys, this is the top bar spot. Even their signature cocktails are insanely yummy!

A great range of cocktails made to perfection by friendly staff. We had a few tapas dishes while at the bar and all were good - especially recommend the calamari.

This place was a wonderful surprise. Beautifully decorated, with a great atmosphere and excellent music. The service was impeccable, and both the food and drinks were outstanding. I would definitely recommend visiting this place. Be sure to try the Italian charcuterie board for two, it serves two people very well and is an incredible, complete choice to enjoy alongside great cocktails.
