 Bars proliferate, many of them large scale and impersonal although a recent showing of smaller quirky drinking holes has greatly enhanced the CBD after hours scene.
Burnett Lane is the go-to for cosy micro bars – speakeasy style Super Whatnot, subterranean Brew and the glass-windowed front room of The Survey Co.
In the same end of the city The Treasury Hotel's premier bar Ryan's on the Park befits an Agatha Christie novel while up the road on George St The Villager, a multi level bar set between the narrow exposed brick walls of another old treasury building has on its top floor a late night supper bar.
Down in the riverside/gardens precinct Malt Bar is a fabulous cocktail retreat in the lower level of an 1860's market place and a stroll away down Spencer Lane uber cool Laneway Bar packs a discerning crowd into its cubical upstairs space. In the grounds of the old Port Office the fairy lit courtyard Pav Bar is awash with suits on Friday nights while upstairs the arcaded verandahs of Moo Moo Bar are Brisbane's answer to Raffles.
On the waterfront Jellyfish Bar has great bar food and views and further into the no man's land towards the Valley E'cco has its own tiny onsite bar that is worth a look and next door Bar Barossa and in a basement across the road the chilled Brisbane Supper Club are off the beaten track wine bars.
