A legendary basement whisky bar tucked down a laneway off Clarence Street, with one of the most impressive whisky walls in the Southern Hemisphere. Order anything from their 800-plus whisky selection, ideally guided by the knowledgeable bartenders. It gets very busy after 6pm on weekdays so arrive early or expect a queue.
