The in-house Gin lovers

As Australia's first dedicated digital gin bar, Box Bar is brought to you by a team of experience hospitality professionals. Collectively, we have more than 50 years experience in wine, gin, whisky, cocktails and hospitality service.

Talking to us is just like being at favourite small bar, except we go wherever you go! Got a gin question? Ask away ...

Joining the Box Bar team during the 2020 lockdowns, Rupert was responsible for quality control during the first Christmas with Box Bar. Not satisfied with simply identifying boxes that are not up to scratch, he prefers to shred them into a million pieces all over the warehouse floor.
