Millsheds

We adore this bar + distillery inside The Mill Courtyard. 
Cocktails made with the gin and vodka distilled onsite, can’t get much closer to the source than that. 
The bar is open from 12pm Thursday to Sunday.
Why not round up some pals and have a go at one of their cocktail mixology classes for a little DIY fun? 

 

Royal Hotel

Friday night is happy hour night at the Royal, score! Ooo and it’s also meat raffle night.. Double score!
The bar is open 7 days a week. 
Try an Aperol Spritz for those Italian summer-time feels. 

 

Bowral Hotel

We’re loving the recent refurb here. 
It doesn’t have to be Friday – pop in any day to enjoy a cocktail
