Brisbane’s inner west opens its doors to its newest gin and vodka distillery, casual bar, and kitchen — Warehouse 25 in Milton.
Perched between XXXX brewery and Suncorp Stadium, Warehouse 25 is every gin and vodka lover’s haven. The 436sqm venue boasts of 100 litre vodka still and a 50 litre gin still for both indoor and outdoor dining.
Apart from the classic cocktails, Warehouse 25 will feature its signature spirits such as Lavender Martini, Ginger & Rhubarb Spritz, Spiced Iced Tea, and Grapefruit and Rosemary Sour.
Warehouse 25 will also be bottling and selling their very own spirits under the Calm Spirits Co label. The spirits are infused with calming botanical extracts including juniper, lavender, rose and lemon. A number of Australian wines are also on offer, by the glass for $9 and by the bottle for $40 whilst the distillery’s cocktails will be $16 each.
Being the former home to secret underground electronica parties, the venue’s indoor/outdoor split-level area is keeping its musical roots alive with the mezzanine level offering guests plenty of dancefloor space to party the night away whilst the basement area is an ideal spot for exhibitions, product launches, and other special events.
Meanwhile, the kitchen serves up red- and white-based pizzas including margherita (sugo, fior di latte and fresh basil); capricciosa (sugo, mozzarella, olives, artichoke, mushroom and ham); pistachio and pumpkin; and quattro formaggi (ricotta, fior di latte, gorgonzola, and mozzarella). There is also a variety of snack and share plates caprese (tomato, basil, and fior di latte), pumpkin and pistachio insalada (rocket salad with roast pumpkin, toasted pistachio, and red onion), burnt broccoli (charred florets with toasted almonds and lime), warm olives, chips, and arancini (mushroom arancini balls with capsicum and fennel salsa)
