Dutch Courage Officers' Mess

We had a great experience on Saturday. We had the Admirals 5 course lunch @ $57pp. They are shared dishes and not too big so you leave full but not uncomfortable. The service was good. The cocktails delicious. The food was excellent. Every dish was balanced and had excellent flavour! I'd definitely go back to try more of their food and cocktails!!

I gifted my partner the private gin tasting with five course banquet for two for his birthday. We were fortunate enough to be hosted by the owner of Dutch Courage, Matt. His knowledge of gin including it's origins, flavours and combinations was very impressive. He was very welcoming and warm, making us feel comfortable and able to ask questions. All gins were served neat with the option to add a mixer if you would prefer. This was then followed by a five course banquet dinner. The food was delicious while being unique. The chef himself was kind enough to come and check on us throughout the night and so we got to ask for his tips and tricks in the kitchen! We purchased additional drinks over dinner based on their recommendations. I think it's important to highlight that gin is my partners favourite spirit, while I am only just starting to sample it, but we both really enjoyed the experience. Overall an excellent night out! We'll be back.

Really cool gin bar & great experience. We were looked after by Rhiannon think that's right?, who was really friendly. Slight delay getting started as she was having a battle with her printer but she accommodated by upgrading us to the premium tasting package which was a lovely surprise! Cheese platter was amazing, especially the candied walnuts! Yummy!! Great range of Gins...think I found some of my new favourites. Great way to spend a Sunday afternoon chilling

A gorgeous place, with wonderful welcoming staff. Plus the amazing Cameron who not only introduced me to a new favourite cocktail, but was so amazingly generous with his passionate exhaustive knowledge of all things gin and Whiskey! Food was beautifully prepared and delicious

A cool gin bar with a great atmosphere and amazing cocktails. The bartenders and staff were friendly and attentive, the staff offered to find a table and reserve it for us while we wait for our cocktails at the bar, which for us was nice. We sat upstairs and it was a pretty cool area. We'd come back anyday!

Thanks to Matt, Amelia and staff who made our mother / daughter reunion very special. The five course degustation dinner was divine as were the margaritas and lychee cocktails. Will definitely be back to enjoy the young urban romantic vibe again very soon.

We were gifted the 5 course gin tasting experience and what a fabulous experience it was! Cameron’s gin and spirit knowledge was impressive and Chef served us delicious dishes. The customer service from both was top-notch. We added a few cocktails which were made to meet our every desire from the vast collection of gins. Highly recommend for a personalised night out with a difference!

An enjoyable two floor, well presented gin bar and restaurant, though you can get other spirits, beer and wine. An enormous choice in gin, local and overseas varieties. Similarly for tonic water so many to choose from. There are even a dessert gin like the Pavlova gin, which I really enjoyed straight over ice. Food is share plates with a strong Mediterranean and middle eastern theme. The Lamb cigars, flank steak, houmous and Taramasalata are all great to share. Definitely will be back.

Visited here a couple of months ago and was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. The menu was great with a decent variety and the food was delicious. The bar has a large range of Gins, cocktails and other beverages and the setting is casual dining in a relaxed atmosphere. Really enjoyed the evening and will be back again. A must visit if you’re a Gin lover in Brisbane.

Terrible service and incredibly slow, we placed our order and had to wait 15 mins to get our drinks and it wasn’t busy. The guy who served us thought the citadelle gin was a cocktail. We finished the 1 round and left to the Osbourne around the corner which had a better vibe live music and they made your drinks on the spot and it was cheaper. We won’t be returning and I’d imagine this will continue if they don’t improve the service.
