There’s nothing dysfunctional about this beautifully detailed but pretension-free St Kilda cocktail bar; Brit owner Reg Ridealgh brings to the party formidable cocktail expertise, and the vintage glassware to match. In it, he’ll serve you impeccable classics, from Negroni to Mai Tai to Manhattan, and tweaked versions such as the Dysfunctional Gimlet - which adds extra frisson to the familiar mix with an absinthe-rinsed glass. Table service and an easy-elegant pre-Prohibition vibe adds to the civilised atmosphere, there’s a cosy garden oasis and street food favourites Rock the Baus are in the kitchen providing hearty support to the top-shelf spirit, craft beer and wine stars.
