In a city full of amazing venues, these are the six we’d hit up for a cocktail if it were our last day on Earth.

It doesn’t matter if you’re a Negroni diehard, only ever go for fruity cocktails with OTT garnishes, or love to be led by whoever’s taking your order, Brisbane’s top bars meet the brief. The choice of quality cocktails coming out of this city is seriously impressive, so if you’re planning a trip here, or you’re a local needing some inspiration beyond your usual hangouts, we know just the place.   

We’ve scoured our reviews of Brisbane’s best bars and restaurants and consulted with our team on the ground in the Sunshine State’s capital to come up with six current faves – no easy task. The result is a mix of classics as well as newer venues that all strike that tricky balance of being friendly and unpretentious while still delivering super-sharp service and cocktails, regardless of the style of drink that floats your boat.
