Naught Distilling
Naught Distilling
Hidden away in an industrial estate in Melbourne’s leafy north, Naught Gin’s namesake cocktail bar is a bonafide local gem. We worked with the award-winning gin distillers to create a 1920's speakeasy-inspired venue, where the aim is for guests to get 'lost' – lost in the spirit, lost in the moment with friends.
In perfect contrast to its industrial exterior, the inside of Naught Distilling is sumptuous, welcoming and warm. The copper gin stills are front and centre, placed for worship amidst dramatic church arches; while botanical touches abound, from the floral wallpaper to the dried native ceiling installation. Weathered feature walls by Scanlan & Makers, a hammered steel bar and plush upholstery round everything out.
