Bar Love 2025 Winner

Is it the Peaches and Cream Negroni that scooped the top spot for Bar Love or more generally the creativity of owner-bartenders Pippa Canavan and Murray Walsh? That rendition of a much-known standard grabbed the attention of at least a few of our team this year but so too did the ‘holy trinity of originality, quality and fun’, as described by one of Australia’s most respected voices on liquid refreshment here in our pages. The handpainted gold leaf lettered front window pulls you from Brisbane Street to immerse you in the kind of over-the-counter chat and old-fashioned charisma seasoned bar-goers crave.
