Whisky: The Bat And Ball

WHISK(E)Y TALK

Bat And Ball is very much the traditional pub, but they still ensure they keep up with the new venues in terms of patron expectations and what they can provide. They’re an old-fashioned pub with a modern heart, offering classics done with a contemporary twist. You’ll find all sorts in here unwinding, from locals, families, sports fans, and the odd random here and there.

Onto the whiskies. They categorise their wide range by flavour rather than region or country. There’s something to suit everyone, with around 45 whiskies in the categories Rich & Fruity, Smoky & Peaty, Floral & Delicate and Sweet. Whiskies from all over, including countries like Scotland, Japan and New Zealand. Bat And Ball also hold whisky-tasting events in their Parkside Bar, run by some of Sydney’s best whisky experts.
