Gin has seen a serious resurgence in the past couple of years, with new craft gins and distilleries launching almost weekly. But no one in the city quite does gin like the experts over at Covent Garden. The leafy two-storey oasis located in the West End houses over 100 juniper-led spirits that are served with creative syrups and native botanicals — so you can expand beyond the usual G&T. It has an exciting selection of Mediterranean eats and a fancy high tea, too. The palatial bar is one of the restaurants featured in our New in Town series, where we uncover the newest and most anticipated restaurant openings around Brisbane in partnership with Zantac.
To celebrate its launch, we threw a gin-fuelled soirée. And we want you and three of your closest to come along. It featured a gin cocktail on arrival, Aperol spritz and Pimms on tap, all matched with a feast of salty, sweet and spicy snacks. It got rowdy. Here are the photos.
