Everyone has a bevvy of choice but we’re partial to the odd gin. If you are too, you’ll want to head straight to Bondi for a 10-day gin-soaked fiesta. Bondi Liquor Co. is launching the inaugural Bondi Festival of Gin and all our regular haunts right from Corner House to Neighbourhood and Bikini Bar are joining the party. On from April 14 to May 1, the festival will take over a number of venues and you can expect entertainment, canapes, beachside parties and of course, endless gin.
