With a tiki bar upstairs and an underground ’80s-themed nightclub downstairs, there’s something for every taste at Alfred & Constance.

Start the night off with a vibrant Blue Island Ice Tea – and if you get a bit peckish, just pop by the late-night dessert bar to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Eleven Rooftop Bar

When you want to pair your bevvie with incredible city views, Eleven is the place to be.

Super sophisticated, the wraparound space offers sweeping 270-degree vistas of the CBD and surrounding suburbs – and the menu is just as impressive, with classic cocktails, craft beers and boutique wines to suit even the most discerning drinker.

Head in on a Friday and Saturday night for a rooftop party with live DJs and R’n’B tracks.

Savile Row

Looking for something a little more opulent than your standard small bar? Savile Row might be hidden behind a closed orange door, but once you walk through and peel back the curtains, you’ll be greeted by all the style and class of a bygone era.

Perfect for everything from a romantic date night to drinks with friends, the only problem you’ll have is picking your poison – the bar holds around 900 spirits and 20 rotating wines, plus draft beer and a full fridge of sherries and amaro.

The End

No trip to West End would be complete without stopping at The End. Combining vintage furniture, ’70s surf videos and industrial-chic décor, this laidback bar couldn’t be any cooler.

With a rotating beer offering and delicious yet unpretentious cocktails, all served up by smiling bearded bartenders, the good times here roll on well into the night.

Super Whatnot

Brisbane’s original laneway bar is a small space with a big personality. It’s super popular with the after-work crowd, so you might have to get in early to find a seat, but you’ll be glad you did – the music is good, the American-style food is delicious, and the drinks are top-class.

Choose from a top selection of beers and wines, or try something off their carefully curated cocktail list – our pick is the truly divine Stairway to Heaven.
