California Lane

Fortitude Valley

California Lane is funky hidden laneway in Fortitude Valley. Named after California Café, a Brisbane institution that stood on the corner of Brunswick and McLachlan Streets for more than forty years, the legacy lives on with cool laneway destination.

California Lane has a relaxed, West Coast vibe – think palm trees, pastel walls and pink flamingos – with plenty of al fresco dining and drinking spaces. 

A haven away from the heaving crowds of Brunswick Street and the Valley Mall, California Lane is home to a collection of cool little bars, perfect for a laneway bar-hop, as well as a funky coffee bar and dumpling house:
