An awesome find. Visiting from QLD and when looking around Circular Quay all the venues were really busy. I found this place which sounded good, and for a slightly out of the spotlight location, it turned out to be absolutely amazing. Love the ambience in the venue, and the cocktails were top quality. Also bought a few bottles of the gin. Loved the tasting flight. The staff were also friendly and let us shift around some of the outdoor tables to suit us better. Will definitely go back here.

Crossroad from 6head and we had 🦘/ lamb chops/steaks/ gnocchi as well as cheese cake. The dark beer was really . Food: Fine but nothing id come back for Service : Excellent . Warm friendly also very attentive Atmosphere: Good for drinks and catch up as group . Dinner vibe was a bit unmatched for me. Feels more like pubs.

Great staff and beautiful building and location. Did the gin flight and highly recommend. Australian gin with tonic 5*, and the oyster gin as a martini were great. Had the tuna ceviche in recommendation from the bartender and it was a perfect accompaniment.

A wonderful experience all round. The gin was so fresh and pleasantly surprised at the size. Gnocci was the best we've had!
