A truly unique and charming gin and cocktail bar nestled in the historic prison cottages. From the moment I stepped through the door, I was captivated by its classy and comfortable ambiance. The personalized service was impeccable, making me feel like a valued guest rather than just another customer.
The setting itself is a marvel, with the history of the old prison cottages adding a distinctive character to the experience. The atmosphere is relaxing and sophisticated, complemented perfectly by soothing music that created the ideal backdrop for an evening of indulgence.
The selection of bespoke gins and expertly crafted cocktails is impressive. No menu. Each drink prepared with care and presented beautifully. Sam’s knowledge and passion for his craft was evident, and his recommendations were spot on. The drinks were amazing. We came as strangers (on a short work visit from Brisbane) and left as friends.

The staff are very nice and knowledgeable and really know and respect their craft!
