Some time ago, we decided it was time Brisbane’s West End had our very own tropical Covent Garden oasis…not long after, this little beauty was born! A contemporary gin house (with 500+ gins to indulge in), as well as one of Australia’s very few fully coeliac friendly / gluten free restaurants, right in the beating heart of West End!

Had a great meal the other night. My wife has issues with gluten and most artificial colours flavours and enhancers. It was a great relief to find a restaurant that takes this seriously. Will be back.

Could not fault a single thing! The gin cocktails were lovely and the food was yummy. Our server was extremely attentive. The worst thing was the rain and the venue cannot control the weather.

Looking for a gluten free restuarant without the worry,this is the place for you. All the food gluten free however the beers did contain gluten so ensure you check the drunks menu. we arrived an hour early, they accommodated for us and happy to bring the booking forward. Table serve was quick, we will be back
