Zeb Plater

You often walk into an elegant bar, order a beautiful drink and get a nice serve of attitude on the side. Not at Collins Quarter and not with head bartender Mr Zeb Plater. Experienced and well respected amongst his peers, Zeb quietly and confidently prepares his beverages with minimal fuss and maximum precision. He knows his ingredients and how they blend to create a flavour profile. This is crucial because the front bar at Collins Quarter where Zeb works happens to specialise in apéritifs and digestifs. Usually enjoyed before or after a meal, these must be crafted to perfection as they are the first and last memory of your experience. Enjoy this feature on Zeb and the apéritif he has chosen to prepare for us using Tanqueray Gin and Maidenii Dry Vermouth, because as you'll see, the timing is always perfect for a martini.
