It is well-known that many Australian spirits can stand-up to, compete with and better other spirits and brands from around the world. There is no doubt that Australia stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the world’s best spirit producing countries, but one category that has arguably flown under the radar is Australian Brandy - a local category that we should all be backing and letting the world know they can enjoy world-class Brandy that is made right here. This week on Bars and Clubs, we shine a light on the flourishing category, the distilleries that are helping to put Australian Brandy on the map, and the ways you can win over Aussie consumers. You can read the full story on http://www.barsclubs.com.au.

Congratulations to the teams at @cantina.ok and @aboveboardbarmelb, who have both landed spots on The World's 50 Best Bars extended list, coming in at 96 and 100 respectively.

Designed to celebrate the hard work and innovation of the global bar community, we look forward to the reveal of @50bestbars in less than two weeks time!

House Made Hospitality welcomes two new venues to

House Made Hospitality welcomes two new venues to its Sydney portfolio with the opening of @bartilda.sydney and @tildadining.sydney today, both of which are said to have a distinctly Australian character.

Bar Tilda combines old-world charm with contemporary design, bringing together nostalgic cocktails, a bespoke Martini cart, live jazz band, a wine list comprising icons new and old, with whisky at the core of the offering. Alongside The Whisky Armoire, an ornamental golden whisky cabinet, the signature cocktail selection and extensive wine list champion Australian producers with a nod to the country’s dynamic spirits and wine landscapes.

At both Tilda and Bar Tilda, the food menu has been crafted to complement the leisurely, yet luxury atmosphere felt throughout the venue, showcasing contemporary flavours with a nod to retro classics. Much like Bar Tilda, the cocktail menu at Tilda incorporates native Australian ingredients into classics poured tableside.

Roku Gin has launched the first limited-edition gin in its Seasonal Festive Collection, the Roku Gin Sakura Bloom Edition, focusing on the Sakura blossom petals, which are one of the six key botanicals in Roku Gin 🌸

Crafted to capture the essence of Sakura in bloom, tasting notes for the gin describe a nose that is ‘bright and inviting, evoking the freshness of early Spring. Gentle and soft floral notes of cherry blossom, reminiscent of a Japanese garden during Hanami season’. The palate notes describe ‘soft and smooth top notes, subtly sweet and richly elegant. A nostalgic hint of the saltiness of Sakura-mochi, the traditional sweet of the season, balanced with the fruity sweetness of cherry blossoms, meticulously blended with Roku’s original botanicals’ and a finish that ‘invites the next sip’.

Earlier this week, as part of @50bestbars, @caretakers.cottage was recognised as the world's most hospitable bar, claiming the Mitcher’s Art of Hospitality Award for its unmatched hospitality experience. Founded in 2022 by Rob Libecans, Ryan Noreiks and Matt Stirling, Caretaker’s Cottage brings modern hospitality to one of Melbourne's heritage precincts and has received countless accolades for its distinct approach, coming in at number 23 on the 2023 The World’s 50 Best Bars list.

Commenting on the achievement, Rob, Ryan and Matt said: “To operate Caretaker’s Cottage in Melbourne, and to host people in our tiny pub from all over the world, is truly the greatest honour. The Michter’s Art of Hospitality Award encompasses everything we strive for, and we are stoked to be recognised this year. Our hardworking staff believe in our vision and have helped carve our idea of ‘modern hospitality’ into the bluestone. We’re so proud to have created a fun and inclusive environment that guests enjoy as much as we do. We can’t wait to share the news with everyone, as this award wouldn’t have been possible without our community.”

To celebrate the launch of the new Hendrick’s Grand Cabaret Gin, @hendricksgin is hosting a series of exclusive cabaret shows at @theemeraldroomsyd, taking consumers on an immersive journey through poetry, acrobatics, live vocals and cocktails to reflect the grandeur of the new release.

Fruity and fresh, Hendrick’s Grand Cabaret Gin was inspired by a stone fruit eau de vie which became popular in Paris in the early 20th century, resulting in a decadent expression with a taste of Parisian history 🌟
