Gospel Whiskey Co.

Showcasing their fine Melbourne-distilled 100% rye whiskey, The Gospel Whiskey Co. brought together a few of their favourite things - Hip Hop, chess, local fanatics and good times!

“Our first chapter for the event series featured a chess tournament with GZA from Wu-Tang Clan. As our event was unique, we had multiple touchpoints in the setup and the team at 75 Reid St was incredibly accommodating, allowing us the freedom to bring our vision to life.”

“75 Reid St was the perfect venue for the first chapter of our event series. We were drawn to the space due to its beautifully restored nature. The instant feel of 75 Reid St was both historic and special, providing a perfect representation of Melbourne’s Inner North, making it an ideal setting for our event.”

“The venue gave us a beautiful blank space, which was great for setting up our fully equipped pop-up bar, speed chess tournament tables, an area for the DJs, a microphone and tech for our MC and a slideshow projector screen for visual effects. The venue was well-equipped with rooms and back entries for easy access, green rooms, a meet and greet area, and media rooms for interviews. This all-in-one solution ensured a smooth experience, especially for our high-profile guest, GZA. We were also able to set up a food truck out front and use the kitchen for extra space.”

“We appreciate how friendly the team were and their help from setup to finish. Their flexible space allowed us to create an epic evening of chess, hip-hop, whiskey, and good times. We couldn't recommend 75 Reid St more highly for anyone looking to host a memorable and successful event. Their support was crucial in ensuring the night was one of our biggest achievements and highlights ever.”
