The Tailors is a mysterious speakeasy style bar hidden behind Rodriguez & Co tailors shop in the historic antique precinct of Woolloongabba.
Entry is via the dressing room mirror, which swings open, revealing the secret bar behind.
Taking its name from the shopfront, which itself is simply a facade evoking the old world of gentleman's sartorial suit and alterations businesses, The Tailors is a cosy cocktail bar, with different themed live music events every Friday night, open 8pm-1am.
Take a seat on the royal blue banquette that lines one wall or at one of the bar stools along the other and settle in for a classic-cocktails and, on Friday nights, enjoy a side of live music that could be anything from swing jazz, funk, soul, rhythm & blues, salsa & Latin music.
The drinks menu features classic cocktails from famous bars around the world, the menu changes depending on the live event theme of the night, from Jazz 1920s Prohibition, Rhythm & Blues Bourbon Street, Latin Music Club Tropicana and Vintage Vinyl DJs.
