The menu

Tasmanian-made, almost all of it. Over sixty local gins, a growing wall of whisky, Tasmanian wine and craft beer, and a few other spirits for good measure.

Small batch means stock moves, so the odd bottle comes and goes. Ask us what’s new.

Cocktails

Five of our own, and the classics made the Barrel way.
