Overview
If you've visited The Lord Gladstone in Chippendale, you've probably had one of its espresso martinis on tap. Well, you've probably had a couple of schooners of Resch's, then decided that you'd love a fancy Kahlua espresso martini on tap. While you can't go and drink either of those inside the pub at the moment, with the government's current closure of non-essential indoor venues in place, you can swing by and pick up both to enjoy at home.
The longstanding Chippo pub, which was bought by its OG bar team early last year, is currently closed to the public, but it's getting by, like many Sydney hospo venues, by offering takeaway. As well as offering its kitchen menu to-go — including its burgers, wings, schnitties and $10 steak and chips on Thursdays — it's also selling takeaway booze.
If you have a growler you can go and get refills of the pub's tap beers, including Resch's. If you have anything from a jar to an empty wine bottle, you can go and get it filled with espresso martini for the bargain price of $5 per 100 millilitres. While one commenter was told they could, in fact, bring a hat to fill with espresso martini, we recommend bringing something that transports slightly better.
The takeaway espresso martini is available while stocks last, so keep an eye on the pub's Instagram to see when it sells out.
If and when you do go outside to pick up food or booze, remember to follow the NSW Government's public gathering and social distancing rules.
The Lord Gladstone is located at 115 Regent Street, Chippendale and open for takeaway only from 12–3pm and 5–8pm Monday–Sunday. To order, call (02) 9310 1483.
