Gin Lane

If you've ever dreamed of one day owning a house full of gin where boutique and international bottles line the walls, this place might help tide you over until it becomes a reality. Barman Grant Collins has taken over one of the 18th century townhouses on Chippendale's Kensington Street and transformed it into a delightfully pokey gin bar.

And, just like your hypthetical palace of booze, it's filled with gins — 75 types, to be precise. These can all be ordered on their own, or mixed into one of 25 on-menu cocktails. Of course, the staff can make you all the classics and, if you're not feeling gin, the back bar stocks vodka, rum, tequila, whisky, beer and wine.
