The nautical vibe might seem incongruous on a hot Adelaide night this far from the ocean (diving helmets, barometers, anchors etc) – but somehow it works. A really clever fit-out of a tight laneway space, with the focus on all things gin and rum. Get a few under your belt and belt out a sea shanty or three.
