Rob Libecans, Matt Stirling and Ryan Noreiks will go down in Melbourne cocktail history, and they would have even if they'd never opened @threehorsesbar, the winner of this year's Bar of the Year award.⁠
⁠
@Caretakers.cottage, the trio's other venue (and the winner of the same accolade in 2022), already had them on the global map for its historic location, music-geek sound system and incomparable freezer martinis. ⁠
⁠
Three Horses, which sits just stumbling distance from Caretaker's, had to be different enough to warrant expansion while maintaining all of the excellence that we've come to expect from this crew. We've gotta say: they hit it out of the park. ⁠

MAISON MAHJONG & 🔶🟥🔵 AT THREE HORSES.

Sunday 21st June!

Two absolute heavyweights. One massive afternoon. We are incredibly excited to welcome Millie Tang, Harrison Kenney and William Bockman into the room for a double header.

4PM - 6PM: MAISON MAHJONG
Built on heritage inspired dishes and elite drinks shaped by a decade behind some of the world’s best bars, Millie Tang and Harrison Kenney bring their powerhouse collective to our space for a masterclass in community, culture, and flavour.

“More than anything, Maison Mahjong reflects our desire to bring people together through unforgettable flavors and shared experiences.”

6:30PM - 8:30PM: 🔶🟥🔵
From London, A Bar With Shapes For A Name. Built entirely around Bauhaus principles, radical simplicity, and functional minimalism, A Bar With Shapes For A Name strips back the noise. No branded bottles, just pure technical mastery and exceptional liquid.

Proudly and thankfully supported by our friends at The Dalmore and Whyte & Mackay.

Big energy on the cards. Get in early.

When the guys from Caretaker’s Cottage got in touch about their new space, Three Horses, we knew something special was on the cards and started a discussion about a bespoke system just for them.

One idea kept resurfacing throughout the design process: continuing the tradition of putting unapologetically large loudspeakers into intimate hospitality spaces. Some of our favourite venues share this quality — a sense that the sound system is part of the architecture, not something hidden away.

The expansive bar demanded loudspeakers with wide horizontal dispersion, and plenty of low frequency performance because we know they like to boogie. The one-off 3-way design we came up with riffs off of the shape of the bar, featuring two 12” low frequency drivers flanking a 10” mid, and a rectangular profiled constant directivity waveguide. Finished in walnut-veneered birch plywood, and powered by 750W of Pascal amplification and DSP. The two mains and fills are tuned to the same level of precision as our core lineup too, on our free field measurement rig.

To fill in the room, we introduced a new product to cover the front and rear zones — an application it was seemingly made for. More on that soon.

🐎🐎🐎

Some very unexpected news!

We absolutely adore Sherry and we’re so glad that we’re not alone. Recently we received the news that Three Horses had been shortlisted for a global award at @tales_of_the_cocktail . To be considered one of the best bars to open in the world in itself is mind blowing to us.

We want to thank every single person that has worked for us, or even helped us in any way over the last 6 months. To every single guest that steps through the door to try something new. Thank you.

Giddy up!
