Attendees: Cam, Michael, Shaun, Jaffa, Paige, Richo, Jos, (Tess - left early), Ben, Ivanka, George
Price: Come here for the opulence. Average price around $10-15 for a bottle. Or try the $250 330ml experience.
Location: 98 Smith St near Gertrude St
Distance: 10min walk
Obscurity: Well known, but nothing else like it.
Ambiance: Sophisticated but welcoming, not pretentious. Lighting is really warm, bright but creates a nice balance of shadows and privacy. Very intimate. Some eclectic tunes in the background contribute to the quirkiness and add a personal touch.
Character: Urban rustic. Great use of simple, raw materials in an elegant finish. Bare brick wall, hardwood timber benches. The feature wall... features.
Decor: Functional & minimal but still very tasteful and elegant.
Comfort: Very welcoming. No options for standing but take a stool at the bar or a seat at one of the tables or large table down the back and don't get up again!
Beer garden: N/A
Amenities: Not quite accessible and not the cleanest. Below average.
Patron attitude: Respectful beer connoisseurs. A mutual atmosphere of excitement and enjoyment. A shared pilgrimage to the Holy Beer.
Patron hotness: Doesn't even factor in. But the beer bottles are gorgeous.
Service: Friendly and empowering. Passionate about their job and very attentive and happy to share their knowledge. All hands on deck.
Staff hotness: Very tidy and professional, but it's still all about those beer bottles.
Selection: The holy grail. The menu is a beer bible (about 20 pages thick) and the beer sommeliers will help you to fulfill your heart's desire.
Specials: Events, specials beers and in depth explanations and food matching.
Memorable quotes: "It's moist and clammy...my duck" CLG
"Egos make my labia shrivel up" JW.
Arbitrary score: 93
"May the pork be with you". It's an experience in itself but still very welcoming and not at all pretentious or high-brow. Our favourite ever spot for a night of beer purity and gourmet delight mixed with excellent service and an attractive fit out. Be prepared to spend a little more than the local pub but get a whole lot more in return. Highly recommended.
