Boxer

Ed Verner reckons chefs make better drinks than bartenders, and we think he might be right. You’re encouraged to book a spot at Boxer, and the drinks served here — made using spirits that are distilled in-house using a rotary-evaporator — are as complex, balanced and refined as any of the dishes you’ll find at Pasture, his six-seater restaurant next door. There is beauty everywhere in the details — from the lush bar food and seasonal cocktails, to the specially crafted decor and the vinyl that provides the soundtrack — resulting in an experience unlike anything else.
