We’ve been serving Melbourne’s thirst for whisky since 2010.

Our ever-changing menu with hundreds of whiskies features everything from the classics to independent bottlings, Australia’s largest collection of the Scotch Malt Whisky Society on pour, right through to some of the rarest whiskies in the world. Pair that with tasty cocktails and a rotating list of amazing local and international craft beers, and our friendly, cosy bar has you covered.

Whether you’re new to whisky or a devotee of the ‘water of life’, our team love talking whisky, whether over the bar or through our regular classes and events.

Unexpectedly good experience! I guess the many wine tastings I had attended in the past conditioned my expectations but I was surprised by a very knowledgeable host that took us through a brief history of whisky and manufacturing process along with the tasting of some very contrasting drops that helped appreciate the variety available.

Found the whiskey tasting enjoyable and informative. Seating was crowded and uncomfortable on bar stools with not enough space for coats or jackets. I felt the venue let down the experience and found I was constantly moving trying to get comfortable. For anyone still sensitive to COVID or immune compromised it would be too close.
