Volstead Repeal, Braddon – SMH Good Food Guide review

Tucked away down a side street in bustling Braddon, Volstead Repeal serves whiskey with speakeasy energy but actually offers so much more.

Whether you’re perched on a stool at the bar or settled into a Chesterfield banquette, you can expect themed drinks (Tarot at the time of writing) passionately prepared by award-winning bartenders: order the Emperor and whiskey and amaro compete with beetroot and black pepper; Choose the Hanged Man and a round of martini with gochujang and caramelized onions for umami and heat.

Prefer your martini classic? There is a do-it-yourself guide. Then there’s a list of 400-strength whiskeys, pizza and anchovy toast, and a list of on-trend snacks, including chips and Galician mussels with pickle aioli. Look out for events and tastings, too.
