Garuva Hidden Tranquility
Fortitude Valley
GARUVA HIDDEN TRANQUILITY BAR IS PERMANENTLY CLOSED.
This quirky hideaway can be found away from pulsing Brunswick St and in a quiet darkened stretch of Wickham St.
Enter via a green neon lit passage and behind the heavy wooden doors lies what looks like a kind of hospital ward where the patients all have their curtains drawn around their beds. But the sheer white drapes cloak intimate dining nooks where groups of people feast on cushions around low tables.
Negotiate the billowing walls to the bar at the back which is also strewn with cushions and bean bags and with its brick walls, pot plants and laid back vibe could be someone’s rumpus room.
It’s an ideal place to pretend you’re fifteen again and chill listening to the live music and partaking in one of the retro cocktails such as the fluffy duck or Japanese slipper. The bar food is homey too - cheese platters or cob bread and baba ghanoush.
