The latest issue of Boothby magazine is here, and if you ask me, this one looks better than ever.
Published just four times a year, the oversized pages of Boothby in print are jammed with in-depth reads and top flight photography for our Autumn issue.
On the cover is the trio behind the design of Disco Pantera — the bar which kicked up the best bar design award at The World’s 50 Best Bars Awards in October — and inside, we get an in-depth look at how it all came together. The photos are great.
We’ve also published our first ever bar review, writing about the bar at Gimlet in Melbourne. We’ve got some notes on Australian spirits and liqueurs inside, too.
We’ve got an exit interview with the now former brand ambassador Ross Blainey, and talk to him about what comes next; Simon McGoram writes an in-depth explainer on what make a great oyster program; we explore the restaurant Martini; and I write about why Bangkok is probably the best bar city on earth right now.
Charlie Ainsbury writes poetically on the Spritz — it’s genuinely one of the best things I’ve read all year. And Fred Siggins visits Vanuatu and hits up the kava bars where the locals go.
Picking up a copy of the magazine, or a yearly subscription, is the best way to support the independent bar trade journalism we make. There’s no regurgitated press release churnalism here, and there never will be.
We also have:
- Shaman, Brisbane;
- Richie Barrow of the best bar in Africa;
- Bartenders' Weekender;
- Tayla Kendall;
- The Elephant Room;
- When two drinks collide, you get The Meiri;
- Greg Sanderson;
- Marco Maiorano at DarkSide in Hong Kong;
- The dog at Deadwax;
- and more!
