Gin Palace

Trendy Melburnians head to late night cocktail bar and inner-city laneway institution, the Gin Palace on Russell Place for after-work drinks made with all things juniper. Take a seat in the Palace’s hidden nooks and alcoves and feel the outside world slip away as you sip your first Martini of the night and become part of the bar’s vibe without even realising it. Reminiscent of times gone by and with a selection of more than 200 gins on offer, this hot spot has a cool and funky ambience with comfy couches and armchairs blending seamlessly with framed wall prints and opulent furnishings, to create a city haven away from hustle and bustle. Perhaps taste test a high octane Polynesian inspired Zombie with different tipples of gin, fresh pineapple and lime juice and barrel aged Negroni syrup.
