Proud Henry

Escape the hustle and bustle of Fortitude Valley and relax over a gin and tonic at Proud Henry on Wickham Street. High, pressed metal ceilings, a historic cellar and cosy courtyard offer a variety of intimate spaces to chill out with friends, all under the watchful eye of the bar's resident peacock – Proud Henry himself. Boasting more than 280 gins and a boutique wine list, there is something to tempt all palates once through the aqua blue façade and into an interior of exposed brick, timber and moody lighting, where sharing a charcuterie board goes hand in hand with a favourite drop. Perhaps kickstart the evening with an Aly in Wonderland cocktail of Gordon’s pink gin, cherry herring, lemon juice and egg white, or Peacock’s Bramble bathtub gin, lemon, ice and a blackberry liqueur float.
