Electric Avenue
Woolloongabba
Electric Avenue is an exquisite old world pub that perfectly captures the spirit of Woolloongabba’s antique precinct with a thoroughly modern twist.
Step through the doorway of Electric Avenue’s heritage-listed brick building into a charming bygone era of dapper waiters in black tie, shiny wood panelling, Chesterfield lounges, taxidermy, glass cabinets filled with antiques and collectibles, and lit by vintage lamps, teacup candles and chandeliers.
In the foyer is the splendid vintage lounge bar, the perfect place to enjoy a tipple or two from the extensive drinks menu, along with a delicious bar snack such as rustic fries, homemade dip and duck liver pâté . On offer are a choice of Electric Avenue signature and classic cocktails, international and Australian wines and beers on tap & bottled, premium spirits (including an impressive array of gin and whiskeys).
Tucked away to the rear of the bar is a secret antique toy store-themed ‘courtyard’ with timber booths and chess set tables, festooned with a fascinating collection of old toys.
Electric Avenue's cosy vintage dining rooms and nooks with antique chairs, burgundy curtains and black leather banquettes are the perfect place to tuck into some delicious share plates from around the world like truffle arancini; eggplant katsu; kaarage cauliflower; crispy chicken wings or calamari fritti, along with artisan cheese and charcuterie boards.
Also available are their famous burgers (crispy chicken, classic cheese or plant burger). For something more substantial Mains include beer braised pork belly with spiced apple sauerkraut; lemongrass chicken with egg, bacon, onion and steamed rice; homemade pasta carbonara; and 250g Cape Grim sirloin with homemade mustard & jus.
Good to know – The highly talented lads who own Canvas Club cocktail bar across the road are also the owners and creative forces behind Electric Avenue.
Need to know – Upstairs is Electric Avenue’s secret speakeasy jazz bar, Mrs J. Rabbits, perfect for a pre or post dinner drink. Look for the antique armoire entrance.
