Tucked into an alleyway in bustling Braddon, Volstead Repeal serves whisky with speakeasy energy, but in reality it offers far more.

Whether you’re perched in a stool at the bar or settled into a Chesterfield banquette, expect themed drinks (Tarot, at the time of writing) made with ambition by award-winning bartenders: order The Emperor, and whiskey and amaro play off against beetroot and black pepper; pick The Hanged Man, and it’s a spin on a martini with gochujang and caramelised onion for umami and heat.

Prefer your martini classic? There’s a build-you-own guide. Then there’s the 400-strong whisky list, pizza, and a list of snacks that are right on trend, including anchovy toast and Galician mussels with chips and pickle aioli. Look out for events and tastings, too.
