One of Sydney’s best new bars is headed to Melbourne for one night only at Andrew McConnell and Jo McGann’s timeless cocktail bar, Apollo Inn. And you can walk right in.

If you haven’t heard of Herbs Taverne, we forgive you. The Hot-Listed Sydney bar only opened in May. It’s another smash-hit from a group that’s made a habit of opening small, laser-focused bars that quickly become the talk of town. The first was Tio’s, a tequila party bar. Then came Cantina OK (mezcal), Bar Planet (Martinis) and Centro 86 (Margaritas). And Herbs? It specialises in Negronis, offering red, green and orange varieties.

For Broadsheet’s inaugural Dine Out festival, the Herbs crew is flying down to Flinders Lane with some of its best digestivos in hand. For one-night-only, they will stir up an array of signature Negronis, served alongside Martinis from Apollo Inn’s Lachlan Bentley. The chefs at Apollo Inn will be cooking from a menu of snacks primed for Negroni and Martini-sipping, and a DJ will keep the vibes high until late. Limited bookings are available until 8pm. Walk-ins are welcome all night. Book here.
