Bosc

Bosc is a rustic little beer and gin bar that oozes warmth and homeliness from its corner outpost on West End's Vulture Street.

"Bosc" stands for "bar of social conscience", meaning that 20% of bar profits go to charity, but the goodwill extends environmentally to the fit-out, most of it recycled or upcycled from used timber. Tables and a bench are made from old decking, the bar from logs and timber from a Bundaberg farm, the floorboards are original and there's a green wall of artificial plants and a window dedicated to showing local art.

The bar menu features craft beer and gin cocktails, with house specialties Cutlass and Sabre gin sourced from small pirate-loving craft gin outfit West Winds in WA. These are no ordinary gins, with Cutlass, their signature, made with bush tomatoes.

Must-try house cocktails are 'Sweet Disposition', a gin, lime juice, mint and rosemary concoction or the 'Cutlass', a delicious blend of gin, lime, marmalade and basil leaves.

Good to know - Pooches can join their owners inside.
