In Melbourne
BAR MARGAUX
We’re heading down to our one of our favourite basement bars to launch a very special pop-up menu, featuring Four Pillars’ drinks inspired by some of our favourite star-crossed lovers. If you ask the bartender for a Romeo + Juliet, you’ll end up with two mini–Bloody Shiraz Gin cocktails (not a hot date with Leo), one mixed into a Spritz with sparkling wine and another served up in a Negroni. Now that’s what we call one iconic duo.
When: 13 February – 19 February

STOKEHOUSE ST KILDA
Fancy a round of Bloody Shiraz Gin sorbet-inspired cocktails (a Bloody Sgroppino, if you will) with a side of beach views? Then get yourself down to STOKEBAR in St Kilda. That’s it. That’s the date.
When: 13 February – 19 February

THE CLOAKROOM MELBOURNE
If you prefer your views from the 46th floor, then make your way to The Cloakroom Bar in Melbourne’s CBD. Settle in for a night of Bloody Champagne followed by a round of Bloody Shiraz Caviar bumps (because why not?). Killer views and bloody good times guaranteed.
When: From 17 February

AT OUR GIN HOME!
It goes without saying, we would love to spend the day (of love) with you and your Valentine. Heck, we’ll even be your Valentine if you really want. Book in for a gin drink and stick around for some lip smacking Made From Gin snacks. Or, why not make a whole day of it and see what else you can get up to in Healesville? Check out our guide over here.
In Sydney
NEW BRIGHTON HOTEL
Picture this: a couple of Four Pillars Negronis on a rooftop while the sun sets. Now that’s romantic. And it’s precisely what you and your Valentine/Palentine/Galentine could be doing at Manly’s New Brighton Hotel. Top the night off with some Double Yuzu Highballs, made with Fresh Yuzu Gin, yuzu soda and lemon, and that’s one perfect date night for the books.
NICK & NORA’S PARRAMATTA
Head up to the Gin Terrace at Nick & Nora’s in Parramatta to soak up some sun with a Four Pillars drink in hand. We’ve got six special cocktails on the menu, like The Red Harvest, which mixes Fresh Yuzu Gin infused with Angel’s hair chilli, blood orange and spiced Madeira. It’s the perfect drink for adding some spice to your (love) life. Sorry, we had to.
EILEEN’S BAR
While our Surry Hills bar may not be open on the big day of L-O-V-E, you can still pop in for a drink from Wednesday night, or come along for our big ole’ Fab Lab party for WorldPride on Saturday 18 February. Valentine’s Day and WorldPride in the same week? G&Ts all round! Check out our Fab Lab plans over here.
