A contemporary gin house (with 500+ gins to indulge in), as well as one of Australia’s very few fully coeliac friendly / gluten free restaurants, right in the beating heart of West End!

Great GF food and knowledge. Staff were great, although the manager could have helped with the drink service instead of sitting down to chat to a new employee. The young girl was flat chat making cocktails and serving drinks on her own with several tables full.
