Interest and appreciation has sold out tickets to a tribute to gin event on April 10.
Recently-opened The Establishment is hosting the night that will showcase Australian distillery Fossey's Gin Elixir.
It's the third ticketed event organised by Tenelle Bond at her speakeasy-style lounge bar and the third sellout.
Mrs Bond said they wanted to offer an experience to the Dubbo area, and started with a tribute to whiskey in February.
It had featured Scott Fitzsimmons from Sydney cellar the Oak Barrel.
"He was amazing, he had a wealth of knowledge, everyone loved it," Mrs Bond said.
Local enthusiasts suggested Fossey's Gin.
"So Fossey's Gin from down in Mildura, small family-owned company as well, they've been in business for the last couple of years... they've got a great range of gins," Mrs Bond said.
The businesswoman and mum's vision of a venue that would fill a "niche in the market" came to fruition with the February opening of the bar in Macquarie Street.
Mrs Bond said it was really nice it had been so well-received.
"... that you going out on a limb and taking a hunch and doing something has been so wanted and people really have embraced it," she said.
