DRIN KS LIST

Looking to round out the night with a couple of drinks? Here’s where to go.

Super Whatnot 48 Burnett Ln, Brisbane

A clever, interleaved laneway bolthole and favourite of inner-city imbibers. Weekends go off but the service never misses a beat.

Green Beacon Brewing Co.

26 Helen St, Newstead The on-site brewed beers are fantastic, the inner-suburban warehouse setting even better. Perfect for pre-dinner pints.

Eleven Rooftop Bar 757 Ann St, Fortitude Valley

The current darling among Brisbane’s bright young things, Eleven boasts a jaw-dropping outlook over Brisbane city. The cocktails aren’t bad either.

Maker Fish Ln, South Brisbane

Hole-in-the-wall Maker is almost intimate to a fault. But the payoff is first-class service and drinks from award-winning bartender, Ed Quatermass.

Breakfast Creek Hotel

2 Kingsford Smith Dr, Breakfast Creek

Head straight to the charming old private bar, where iconic XXXX Bitter is served unpasteurised ‘off the wood’, creating a smooth, sessionable crowd pleaser.

Blind Tiger 8 Riddell St, Bulimba

A darkly lit speakeasy in a buzzy suburban enclave. Grab an expertly made cocktail and watch the village life outside.

The End 73 Vulture St, West End

Once Brisbane’s last remaining VHS store, The End is now defined by low lights and pitchers of easy drinking cocktails.

The Gresham 308 Queen St, Brisbane

This former city bank’s sandstone facade draws you in, but the ginormous wall of whiskey will keep you there.

Can You Keep a Secret? 619/621 Stanley St, Woolloongabba

Once a vintage shop, the vibe at this inner-city drinking hole, with its ancient furniture and knickknacks, is more house party than bar.

Lefty’s Old Time Music Hall 15 Caxton St, Brisbane

Formerly an infamous strip club, Lefty’s is now a rambunctious, boot scooting, taxidermed haven for those who don’t want the night to stop.
