Drink Like Gatsby: Fish Lane’s Roaring Twenties Revival

The champagne is chilled, the martinis are ice-cold, and the spirit of the Roaring Twenties has officially arrived on Fish Lane!

With The Great Gatsby dazzling audiences at QPAC just a short stroll down the road, our little lane is getting in on the action, serving up era-inspired cocktails and celebratory sips worthy of a Fitzgerald novel. With glamour, excess and a little bit of drama, all in one glass, here’s where to drink Gatsby-style on Fish Lane.

Chu the Phat

‘The American Dream’

A playful nod to the excess and optimism of the era. White rum, butterscotch liqueur, prosecco, mango, egg white, lemon juice and sugar come together in a cocktail that’s light, frothy and a little bit indulgent… just how Gatsby would like it.

La Lune Wine Co.

André Clouet Champagne by the glass and by the bottle 

Because no Gatsby moment is complete without champagne. Sip a flute (or commit to the bottle) of André Clouet Champagne and embrace the sparkle, celebration and quiet luxury that defines the decade.

Midtown Bar

‘The (Dirty) After Party’

Clean, sharp and undeniably classic, Midtown’s Dirty Gin Martini channels old-school sophistication with a savoury edge. With Bulldog Gin, Cinzano Dry Vermouth, and olives, this one is for when the lights are low, and reputations don’t matter.

Marlowe

‘The Gatsby’ 

A roaring-twenties reverie in liquid form. Starward Two-Fold whisky is stirred with Loborn Red and Bianco vermouths to create a Manhattan-style riff that’s rich, suave and impeccably dressed. Expect dark fruit, gentle spice and old-world elegance on ice.

Maeve Wine Bar

‘Sidecar’

A classic for a reason, Maeve is channelling old money with a drink straight from the 1920’s. Featuring brandy, orange liqueur, and a splash of lemon, this one will have you partying like Gatsby in no time.

Southside

‘Daisy Garden’

This fruity little number is cause enough to raise a glass, old sport! Southside have put forward a fruit-driven sour featuring butterscotch and sweet strawberry, finished with a velvety foam. It’s a great way to wrap up a night of revelry, flapper dresses, and one too many martinis.

Whether you’re dressed to the nines or simply stopping by for a pre-theatre tipple, Fish Lane is the perfect place to toast The Great Gatsby while it lights up QPAC. After all, too much of anything is bad, but too much champagne is just right.
