Hains & Co

Diver’s helmets, model ships and other maritime curios decorate the walls of this laneway bar that serves gins, rums and whiskies sourced from across the seven seas. A rogues’ gallery of distillers, reps and hospitality heavyweights behind the bar ensures that you’ll always get the perfect pour and the staff are happy to suggest a matching cigar if you’re so inclined. 

Time your visit to coincide with a hosted tasting and you can swap the roaring forties for the roaring twenties at the sumptuous invitation-only art deco lounge upstairs that specialises in rare whiskies that money can’t buy.
