DoubleTree by Hilton Melbourne have collaborated with Little Lon, a small-batch gin distillery located in a heritage-listed, red brick cottage on Little Lonsdale Street to bring a Bottomless experience to Flinders Street.

'Sippin' into Summer' is a Bottomless experience that will offer diners an endless flow of curated Little Lon gin cocktails for two hours, while they feast on a shared-plate style food menu from the hotel's restaurant and bar Platform270.

For $79 per person, the Little Lon takeover will bring specially curated cocktails that will be the perfect refreshment for a summer celebration. On arrival, diners will get to choose between one of two cocktails to enjoy, before delighting in an endless flow of spritz-style cocktails in jugs. They can also select from a secondary menu where there is list of specialty cocktails to add-on to the bottomless experience.As they say 'sharing is caring' and that is exactly what the hotel has kept in mind when designing the dining experience for groups. From fresh Scallops with a Mango and Chilli Salad to melt-in-your-mouth Pork Ribs with smoky BBQ Sauce, the sharing-plate style feast has four entrée's, three mains and two sides to share.

The hotel will also take inspiration from the botanicals of gin to transform their industrial and urban-style aesthetic to present floral prints from local artist Emma Morgan.

Bookings are essential. To book, email melfs_fb@hilton.com or call the Platform270 team at +61 3 9654 6888.

About Little Lon Distilling Co

Once a sly grog shop and brothel, 17 Casselden Place off Little Lonsdale, the 'notorious' north-east corner of Melbourne, was a sight to behold in the 1850s. Its colourful past - specifically, a deep shade of harlot red - made it a magnet for the debauched, where wanton wenches and liquored-up larrikins lurched down its lamp-lit lanes.

Fast forward 143 years, and here we are. Little Lon Distilling Co.

A gintrified establishment commemorating the rich history of Little Lon with a range of characterful, small batch gins that raise a tipple to the delightful deviates that once trod these lurid laneways. It's our double-distilled tribute to a hood once heaving with bordellos, bohemians, opium dens, and gangsters and whose history is receding into the mists of time. It's our way of keeping Little Lon's spirit alive.
