We two did a distillery tour- $28/each (but $20 redeemable on purchases).Duncan, a Scotsman who has worked in distilleries took us through the processes of gin & whisky distilling with tastings helping the process. I thought I knew a lot but still took away a number of learnings. They also do whisky tastings. A good to do if this interests you. Aslo an easy walk from Green Square station , so no driving required!

Pre dinner cocktails at Archie’s before lunch and then back for Gin masterclass we were welcomed warmly with a comfy booth and very friendly staff
Extensive cocktail menu and great gin selections
The boys had a great time making their own classic twist on designer gins and the girls were happy in the bar with Archie’s own gin and tonics
Great way to spend a day out for all

We went in about 2pm on a Friday and it was packed but the staff were so accommodating for a group of 11 people. The waitress was unbelievable and I say that seriously she took our entire order from memory.
I had the gin tasting paddle and the same waitress explained each gin and the gin was incredible and if curse we bought heaps

Love this place and highly recommend

We had a great distillery tour with Jonathan, who was passionate, knowledgeable and very friendly. Would highly recommend checking these tours out, as we certainly learnt more than we expected too and the tasting are very generous. Following our tour we had a light dinner and a few drinks at the bar. This was also a great relaxed vibe and all the bar stuff knew their drinks, so if in doubt just ask for a suggestion. The food menu isn't huge, but it has enough to keep you grazing and satisfied for an easy and light meal.

We finally got to Archie Roses and weren’t we surprised, as it was A. We were the only guests over a lunchtime period, and B. It was superb. We sat at the bar, and I apologise that I cannot remember both staffs names, but they explained so much about the business and how they came to work here, their passion was evident in the pride they both had being employed there. The cocktails were amazing, our light lunch tasty and watching the guys at work was incredible, I will say however I suggest to look closely at the ice cubes, I’ve never seen that before, very clever. Thank you Archie Rose crew, we loved our time there and look forward to a return visit.

Martini Master Class.
The event was held on a Sunday afternoon in the "old distillery" part of the property and we sat at tables set with jiggers, mixers, bar spooks and sieves plus large ice buckets (and of course bottles of spirits!)

The presenter (Rihane) walked us through the basic history of the martini and blended (pun intended) "technical" aspects and practical anecdotes from her time working bars to help the group get a better understanding of how martini's can be served.

Her confident and energetic presentation style helped the group to learn which type of martini they prefer so that you can chose or order one confidently (rather than just look blank when you're asked how you would like your martini)

The session ran for around 90 mins, we were a group of 7 so it was a good size to allow us to interact with each other.

This is not a "boozy" lunch session, rather it's a chance to learn more about the classic cocktail, how to make, try and ultimately order different versions.

A pleasant lunchtime experience, nice staff and a discount for bottles of Archie Rose product at the cellar door was welcomed

My husband, son and brother-in-law did “Intro to Whiskey Tour” last week. It was a waste of money and time. Do not go. The session was held right next to the bar with loud music and talking so very difficult to hear speaker; who was not entertaining. A long, dull, frustrating 90 mins. It was $80 per person and whiskey tasting was minimal.
Archie Rose seemed disinterested when I emailed with my disappointment (it was meant to be as a special Christmas gift). They seemed to have no intention of changing anything. Don’t Go!!

How you can conduct an informational session on the differences between various whisky’s with booming music coming from the bar next door (also owned by Archie Rose) is beyond me. You could hardly hear the presenter speak the music was that loud. Really poor evening. The presenter was trying his best but competing with a nightclub would be hard. In the end you just tuned out to what he was saying. Dreadful.

Popped in after lunch with friends and so pleased we did. The cocktail list is extensive and varied and I challenge you not to find one that you would like. The staff were friendly and helpful and it was just a lovely way to spend a couple of hours with friends. If you like Gin this is the perfect place to visit.
