PS40
CORONAVIRUS UPDATE
We've loved PS40's range of sodas for a long time. Now, it's just released a "Stay Safe Soda" range, which are sugar and preservative free. More information here. PS40 has also launched "Afterdrink," a but like a gift voucher which you buy now to enjoy later. Check that out here.
Features
The main appeal of this bar by Michael Chiem (ex-Lobo Plantation) and Thor Bergquist (ex-Bulletin Place) is its in-house sodas.
The bar's taps pour PS Soda's core range – wattle cola; bush tonic; smoked lemonade; and blackstrap ginger – plus a seasonal flavour. There's also beer from Young Henrys and Wayward Brewing. Lo-Fi Wines put together a wine list of around 35 bottles. Its focus is on organic wines from small producers.
The 10-drink cocktail list changes regularly. Think the Batanga, a mix of wattle cola, green coffee bean-infused tequila, lime and smoked salt. The sodas also come with suggested serves, such as a really good Cuba Libre or a Dark and Stormy.
The menu’s focus is on snacks designed to complement the cocktails. There are pickles, terrines, pates, charcuterie and a bahn mi.
The bright, high-ceilinged interior is dominated by bold swathes of black and white. Custom-built stools and tables rest alongside elegant windows facing the bustle of King Street. The soda-making plant sits on a raised platform opposite the long bar.
