A trendy, industrial style (converted old cannery factory) open spaced venue that is no longer the actual distillery but more a bar, functions and ‘experiences’ site. It was very busy in the bar area when I visited for a gin ‘dabbling with individually distilled botanicals and blending with a ready made gin’ (not make your own gin) experience. There was also a ‘make your own Christmas wreath) party happening, which sounded fun. Our host for the evening guided me to the mezzanine level above the bar and was welcoming and pleasant. Each guest had a gin and tonic upon arrival and we could order food to have during the experience. Sparkling and still water was provided on each table.

I would just like to thank Mel and the team at Archie Rose! They made custom whiskey bottles as gifts for my husband and his groomsmen for our wedding and they are stunning. Mel was extremely helpful through the entire process and they were delivered so quickly, I could not recommend anyone more for such a perfect personalised gift. They even sent a free little sample and glassware to make the presents that little bit more special! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!

Highly recommend the tasting and tour. Rob was very friendly and knowledgeable. And enjoyed some very tasty vodka, gin, and whiskey. Also, had lunch and a cocktail, which I would also recommend. The atmosphere is cozy, drinks are delicious, and food is fresh and delightful. If I lived in Sydney this would be a regular spot. If you are a whiskey drinker, Archie Rose is a must.

Fantastic bar to visit. The whole vibe is spot on, from the decor to the staff, and the amazing quality of drinks! It's not cheap, but you pay for quality. You can expect each cocktail will be unique, perfectly balanced and presented beautifully! I also did an Aussie whisky tasting there which was really great. More than just trying some whisky, I got a full history & science lesson as well. Their venue would be super cool to hire it for an event as well.

Attended a Gin Session at Archie Rose and it was bloody great. Hosted by the extremely knowledgeable Ben, the 90 min session was informative and fun. We got to try 3 gins - the Signature gin and 2 Limited editions. Paired with fancy tonics and garnishes. Learnt all about gin, and tonic, their origins and history. A great price too, not expensive considering 3 full size gins. Highly recommend and make sure you get Ben - he really made it memorable and is passionate about his gins!

A low key vibe, would make a cute date spot but also suitable for groups if you book ahead. The cocktails are exceptional and well-balanced in flavour profiles. Whilst Archie rose are famous for their gin (you can order gin flights for a sample of their best), they have plenty of other options such as locally brewed beers and other spirits. The charcuterie boards are also great to graze on while you relax with a drink or two.

Gin blending class was average, expensive for the experience. 1 glass of G&T included on arrival. Friendly staff who gave a brief history lesson and then they explained the different drops you can put in to “blend” your own gin. Wish there was more to learn and see at the site but they make the gin elsewhere. Felt like I was back in high school science class where they let you go off and just play around with your drinks so it’s a bit overpriced for the experience you get.

Fantastic Japanese whiskey tasting, it was great to try some nice whiskey with abit of a distillery knowledge and a history lesson built on over the course of an hour or so. Food was also amazing and accompanied the whiskey very nicely. The host also did a fantastic job in getting us engaged and made the content interesting and fun. Would do it again in a heartbeat. The adjacent bar also serves some killer beverages also good to wind down after the tasting.

You won’t find a better whiskey bar than this, weather you there for a quiet drink or if you want to try something new this is the place to be. They cater for all with share plates, my wife and I had the vegan share plate with vegan cheese and dips. I would highly recommend it, I’m not even vegan. Plus the whiskey is stunning. The Single malt is extremely fine tuned. Book in, you won’t regret it

Booked in to make my own Gin class and it was great! We were a small group and it went for just over an hour. Great background information on AR and the history behind Gin. Took home 2 small bottles of my own brew and received a $10 discount off any Gin + 12 premixed cans of AR Gin. Definitely recommend if you're keen on Gin and love Archie Rose!

Had a great time here at the weekend. My mate and I went for the whisky flight which for $50 felt very reasonable. The bartender was super friendly and knowledgeable about each whisky - you could tell he was really enthusiastic about them. The decoration inside is awesome and the cocktail menu is fantastic. Highly recommended

I booked for a very special night with my boyfriend because of its great reputation but they far exceed our expectations. The service was impecable, Matias really knew how to win my boyfriend over with cocktails, which is not something easy. We will be there again hoping Matias can be our bar tender again

Did a gin masterclass and visited the bar afterwards to check out the whiskey offerings. All of the staff were very knowledgeable and friendly. I absolutely recommend every aspect of this place. Definitely worth a visit whether you splurge on an experience or drop by for a tipple at the bar.

Gin Experience

Had a great tour over the long weekend, with great and knowledgeable staff. Siobhan was very knowledgeable and fun. All the bartenders in the bar section where lovely and made sure we didn't miss our tour. Especially Roy who was really great to chat with and really seemed to enjoy his work. Great cocktails, great food and a great ambiance. Will be back again .

Very nicely decorated bar with comfortable group booths. Food along with locally produced spirits available and a good range of cocktails. Tasting flights for gin and whiskey on offer. Staff were excellent and they made the experience even more enjoyable. Bottles of whiskey and gin can be bought take away from inside the bar. Quality merchandise is on offer.

I've been wanting to come here for ages. My friend and I came here spontaneously and it lived up to every thing and more! The staff, Siobhan and Tanus, were so friendly and knowledgeable, with great recommendations. If you're interested, don't hesitate to go! You'll love it

Gin Flight

I bought this for my husband's birthday as he is a seasoned whiskey drinker. While we have done tastings across NSW and TAS, this was our favourite to date. Thank you Hannah for making the experience so fun and interesting. The 5 samples were so varied - something for every palate. Highly recommend.

Archie Rose is our favourite local and we always bring our out-of-town friends here. Tan and Siobhan (and indeed the entire staff) are extremely friendly, knowledgable and passionate about their craft. If you want an 11/10 gin or whisky experience, you can’t go past Archie Rose. More

We did the cocktail making class then into the bar afterwards. The class was fun, the guys teaching it made everyone laugh and I learnt soo much -being an absolute novice. The bar is quaint, but such a nice place to either wind down your night or to get you started for the night.

The bar has a really cool vibe, service is great and the drinks are really good. Tried their rye whiskey, beautiful and smooth. Also their cocktails are really yummy, ‘grow a pear’ was amazing, a lot of depth to it. You can see a lot of effort has gone into the place and drinks.

Nice bar with an excellent decor, great cocktail menu, very knowledgeable staff who are friendly and welcoming. Their own gin and vodka are amazing. The whisky bar is very well stocked. Great place to be for gin and whisky lovers. Food menu is great, has veg options too.

Trendy joint, was fun tasting and learning what you do and definitely don't like Jamie our main "teacher" was knowledgeable and fun. Great class and experience whether you're super into the gin or not. Recommend! Meat and cheese platter was good also. …

Came here for the distillery tour which was great! The staff was extremely knowledgeable and had great jokes to help lighten the mood. Learned a fair bit about gin and whiskey and will definitely take the in depth sessions if I'm ever in Sydney again!

The perfect spot for a date night! Had the staff greet us the moment we walked in and were super attentive the whole time we were there. They helped us select our cocktails then gave us space to enjoy our evening. The bar itself is situated

Really cool gin distillery. Great drinks and cocktails. The food is great for sharing as well. Has a function area and also provides gin classes.

Great place for quirky cocktails if you like gin and vodka. The staff were really helpful helped with navigating the selection of drinks. The food could have been better, but the drinks made up for it. Great vibe and atmosphere.

We live in Adelaide and hope to visit in person next year. My review is for on line services. We have purchased several times now and each order has been promptly processed and delivered. The gins are beautiful. Linda & Haydn

First time trying Archie rose gin cocktails from the distillery, and the taste was perfect, citrus, smooth, and not a strong flavor. Small bites were perfect. I'll definitely return soon. I love the ambiance and everything.

Had a great time. Really nice aesthetic and atmosphere. Bartender's name was Tan had a good chat with him and he was great with knowing when my group needed more drinks

Such a cool bar for a few cocktails right in the heart of Rosebery! Bar tenders are excellent! We didn’t get any food but it looked good! Best to book a table in advance as it’s always busy!

We had such a great night. Josie was so great at explaining how to make our drinks and so fun! Couldn't recommend the class more

Awesome for good drink. Really like the atmosphere and staff were really friendly. Had the single malt whisky flight. You get to taste different types if whusju.

Love this place, could sit here for ever and have the best drinks. Amazing friendly staff, best drinks and great snacks. Just the perfect place to have a drink.

Just completed the make-your-own whiskey workshop and it was amazing. Shoutout to Hannah (I believe her name was ) for hosting the class. She was great! …

Started off impressive staff were prompt and sitting areas welcoming… I asked waitress specifically if all cocktails on List were $15 Tuesday

Archie Rose is a superb bar. The best in the area by far. The premises is quite small so it is definitely recommended that you make a

The Blend Your Own Gin Experience is absolutely worth doing but you must book ahead.
