What a stunning, fresh and tasty addition to Yarraville! Ms Botanica is the perfect spot for a few cocktails and some incredible small bites. This is primarily a gin bar with creative and amazing cocktails - all with botanical touches and local natives. A few worthy of a mention - the Strawberry Gum Swizzle (pictured) with Brookies Slo Gin, house made strawberry gum shrub syrup, lime and soda, and the Under the Shade - a saltbush infused Hippocampus Gin, Maidenil Dry Vermouth and a cornichon. Oh, and you can’t go past a Southside which includes river mint syrup. Yep, I said amazing didn’t I?

The leather booth seating paired with Bentwood chairs, the hanging plants and soft rattan lighting make this one of the most gorgeous bars in the west - with an even fresher feel when the front windows are open to let the soft breeze in. Mamma loves the cute umbrellas over the outdoor seating too.

Stacie and business partner Scott have really created something amazing in this space.

Chef Chris is at the kitchen helm. Hailing from South Africa he brings his worldly experience to the plate with some very tasty and unique dishes. And because they are mostly bite size - you will need to try everything!

This is a must visit for a date or mate night!
