0E0A0897
As World Gin Day rolls around on 14 June, there’s no better excuse to explore the bars that are raising the bar when it comes to a proper gin and tonic. If you’re in Melbourne and keen to toast the occasion in style, Mortimer’s at Pullman Melbourne Albert Park should be at the top of your list.
A Modern Bar with Old-School Charm
Located on the ground floor of the Pullman hotel, Mortimer’s brings a sense of timeless hospitality with its modern take on a classic hotel lounge. The space is polished without being stuffy. Think plush seating, warm lighting, and the kind of service that makes you want to stay for one more round.
The bar itself sits alongside the hotel’s atrium, giving it an open, airy feel. It’s a spot that works just as well for a quick after-work drink as it does for a relaxed evening out. Whether you’re a hotel guest or a local, Mortimer’s has the atmosphere and offering to turn a casual visit into a new favourite.
House-Made Gin, Melbourne Style
Mortimer’s takes its name from its bespoke house gin, created in collaboration with Melbourne’s own Tiny Bear Distillery. It’s the star of the show on a carefully curated gin menu that celebrates both local and international drops.
The signature serve, Mortimer’s Delight, blends rose and vanilla flavours into a refreshingly floral gin cocktail that feels perfect for the cooler months. It’s light, elegant, and unmistakably crafted to be sipped and savoured.
More Than Just Gin
While gin takes the spotlight, the bar’s drinks list goes well beyond juniper. Expect an extensive selection of wines, including Ate Sauvignon Blanc, Rosé, and Cabernet Sauvignon, as well as a tight cocktail list and premium beer on tap like Furphy and Heineken.
On the food front, there’s a mix of small plates and heartier bar snacks, ideal for grazing. Think crispy chips, shareable bites, and elevated comfort food that pairs perfectly with a drink in hand.
Don’t Miss Social Hour
If you need another reason to stop by, Mortimer’s runs a daily Social Hour from 4pm to 5pm. During this golden hour, guests can enjoy discounted drinks including Mortimer’s Delight, Midori Spritz, house wines, and tap beer, plus a generous serve of beer-battered steakhouse chips for just $8.
It’s the kind of low-key ritual that turns into a weeknight highlight, especially with a gin-focused celebration like World Gin Day on the calendar.
Make It a Date
With a bespoke house gin, elegant surroundings, and daily specials that punch well above their price point, Mortimer’s offers a standout way to mark World Gin Day in Melbourne. Whether you’re a gin lover or just after a stylish spot to relax, this hidden gem at Pullman Albert Park deserves a place on your radar.
