Absolutely loved this place! Went here with a group of 8 people, it was our first time into the valley and the man behind the bar was so friendly toward us. Made us feel incredibly welcome, walked us through the menu. We managed to get the whole bar to ourselves. Incredible service and the drinks were delicious. We will be coming back again! The vibes were good and the music was perfect for us!
Absolutely brilliant. Staff know exactly what they are doing and get a A-plus for customer service. Drinks hit all the right spots and the food was excellent in quality and flavour. Update 25/01 - seriously this place is on point. Food while a limited selection is first class, full of flavour and hit all the spots - go for the Duck Sliders you will not be disappointed. The cocktails, while a limited selection, are like the food, on point. Staff no the game and play it well.
Hands down the best cocktails in Brisbane. Unique twists on classics as well as a few originals. Now the drinks here look great with excellent presentation what they do not do is hide mediocre drinks behind flashy over the top presentation. And the food is amazing, unique takes on some classics. 1st edition would be worth a visit for just the food or the drinks.
10/10 great place to enjoy on the weekend. The vibe is great for a conversation and the drinks are chiefs kiss 🤌. Cocktails are all unique but delicious, I would highly recommend Invisible Girl & Doctor Strange. The food is great and worth it, considering the chief made the dumplings in front of me, it exceeded expectations. Definitely check this place out for a date night or if you just want somewhere to relax before the week.
Superhero fan or not this bar is an absolute vibe, cocktails were amazing with Frenchie giving an experience and more including some fancy fairy floss and smoke bubbles. Definitely going back to try all of the cocktails. Harley Quinn and Mysterio were the personal favourites.
My partner and I came in last Thursday for the first time and we absolutely loved it. The drinks were great and the food was even better. The beef carbonara gyoza was absolutely delicious. Thanks to Chef for making it a great night, we will definitely be back!
One of the best cocktail bars I have been to in Brisbane. The drinks and atmosphere was amazing. The bartenders were very up to date with customer service and attentive to customers. Will recommend this place and come back again. 10 out of 10
Awesome atmosphere. Very enjoyable! Delicious drinks and food. Yes the price can be up there, but so very worth it. Go spoil yourself and have a great night out. Even the other customers were so pleasant to talk with. Overall, brilliant experience, no regrets!
Great little bar, tucked around the back of California Lane. Drinks were fantastic - some great options and beautifully presented. The food was not bad either and it was great that there were gluten free food options available. Great decor and vibe. Recommend a visit!
