Bar Fly: The Barber Shop

THE BARBER SHOP
89 York Street, Sydney (02) 9299 9699 thisisthebarbershop.com
Ready for gin o’clock? The Barber Shop is a gin joint with an extensive international craft list and vintage gin collection, and barbering services (which apparently were the place for all-male hangouts from the 1880s to 1940s). And when I’m after a gin in ye olde Sydney-town there isn’t another place I’d rather be. Sure there are cocktails – mostly based on gin – but when the gins are this good, with so much variety, and there are quality mixers like Fever-Tree or Capi, that’s where I’m heading: Gin and Tonic. There’s also an impressive list of whiskies (Irish, blended, single malt, bourbon, rye and Canadian) plus other spirits, beer, cider and wine; but why would you when you are in the venue of a gin-loving Englishman? The Bar Fly recommended nip – The Botanists, Islay Scotland ($13).
