Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We had to wait for a while for service but only because the staffer was being helpful and informative for someone else. And then they were helpful and informative for us. We just did a few tastings but I can highly recommend the mandarin cello.

Consistently good - great service, amazing gin and cocktails, lovely atmosphere. A little pricey, just be warned.

Excellent spot with a well stocked bar and staff who know their Gin. We had the tasting paddle + . Great presentation, we were given a brief on the history & how to best enjoy the paddle. The garnishes & soda complimented the gin perfectly. Bottle of Gin available to purchase. There is in and outdoor seating. We got lucky and got a spot as walkins. Suggest booking. Nice spot after a day out in Kyneton.

Had a great afternoon here. We had some flights and a tasting platter, which were really great fun and all very tasty. Staff were great, really attentive and knowledgeable about all the drinks. We really liked that there was a focus on local produce. Would highly recommend!

Booked for Tasting Plate lunch. We were seated outside and given a menu and water. While waiting to be served, we watched other customers come in after us being served and receiving their orders, also staff stacking shelves. We left after waiting 25 minutes

Unbelievable cocktail bar. Highest standards compared to anywhere. Incredible cocktail list. The Pineapple (Ananas) Gin is amazing. Eva is the best host. The whole team are so switched on. Not to be missed. Came here every day for a long weekend.

Nice little corner spot, very nice indoor area. There is seating outside but the pick of outside seating is the padded seating by the door or on the footpath. We sat outside however inside looked amazing. We are GIN people so gin flights and cocktails was our game for the day. You can have a large selection of over wines, spirits and beers. Throughly enjoyed our time and the service.

Thank you again for a wonderful afternoon. Service was A+ and the gins are amazing. Grazing plate with local foods is also fantastic. Highly recommend as a way to spend a few hours even if you are not into gin. Lots of other choices to enjoy.

This is a lovely spot to spend a Sunday afternoon in the sun sipping gins of various kinds (we sampled the three G&T offerings) and in various combinations.
