Wow! This place does the best cocktails in Brisbane. Ben was a great host and everyone is really friendly. Huge range of cocktails and cute venue. Perfect for a night out or a sneaky drink after work!
Really good enviornment and the best owner ever! Good beverage and delicious tapas! Lychee Lounge is the best bar I met. The bar tender is the owner of the bar, Nice to all of the guests. Lychee Lounge deserves the recommendation👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Feel happy to talk with the owner💕 He is really handsome as well with really warm smille😆 If you dont drink alcohol beverages, I recommend the strawberry one, Its the BEST!
AMAZING. We had a hens party booking for dinner and cocktails on the weekend at Lychee Lounge and they completely exceeded our expectations. The food and drinks were amazing but most importantly, the attentive staff were extremely good at their jobs and made our hen have the best time. From the moment we first contacted Lychee Lounge, the entire process was smooth and effortless, and the staff went out of their way to make the night personalised and special. Highly recommend!!
Went here last week and the cocktails were delicious! The passionfruit mojito is one of the best I've had! My wife got a random drink made up from the bartender on the spot and that was fruity and delicious. Will be back!
Friendly staff and great relaxed service. A great place to have a drink and a few nibbles. The fit out has changed over the years and is interesting. Will be back.
If you are not under 35 you probably don't belong there.
Cocktails are good and staff know what they are doing.
Beer was OK but overpriced compared with other places in West End.
Went to the lychee lounge for drinks with a friend. Bar has a great atmosphere and vibe about it. Cocktails were amazing and the staff were super friendly. Definitely would recommend!
Love it, love the atmosphere, great place to have a drink on a weekday, had a couple of drinks and some delicious food, will always recommend
Great atmosphere, service and drinks! I have been a few times now and am never disappointed. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone!
Awesome food!!!! Amazing cocktails Fresh and clean!!!! lovely and really friendly staff!!! :).
Legendary place to chill. Awesome cocktails and good snackie food :-) if you are a guest in Brisbane, visit this place :-) worth it, worth it, worth it :-)
Really cute, cosy bar with friendly staff. Their latest cocktail menu is amazing as is their food. This place is great for some relaxed cocktails and nibbles. One of my favourite places in Brisbane.
We held my wife's 40th birthday function at the Lychee Lounge on the weekend. The staff couldn't do enough for us throughout the entire night and were so friendly and helpful. We ordered a swag of food off the menu including a number of the platters containing a mix of hot and cold food. The quantity of food was very impressive as was the quality. It was exceptional value for money. I would certainly recommend the Lychee Lounge for everything from a quick drink through to a function like the one that we just had. We were very happy with our choice!!
I have lived in Brisbane my whole life and had never been to Lychee Lounge. As soon as I arrived I could understand why the bar had been there for 16 years... Cocktails were the best Ive ever tasted (I had a couple that were made with Absinthe and rosmary infused) also had one of there shared beef wraps which was a 10/10. Will definetly be back many times
A great spot to have a drink and relax with friends.. Possibly the best cocktails Ive ever had. I would highly suggest this place for a date night or a night out with friends
The venue is styled in an Asian theme with satins, florals and bamboo. There are intimate spaces and subdued lighting and a mural by street artist Drapl is a focal point. It’s opium den meets street fighter chic. The Asian theme extends to the cocktails with perennial menu items such as my favourite, the Thailander (white run, coconut, lime ginger beer & chilli). New additions included my choice of a Plum, Cherry & Jasmine Sour with two styles of pisco and cherry liqueur. Sharp and a little smoky, there was a sweet hit with the addition of a dark morello cherry.
So, first things first - fantastic, well-balanced cocktails. Absolutely delicious and I'm disappointed that we didn't try all of them.
I actually searched Zomato for 'cocktails' whilst in West End this weekend and zeroed in on Lychee Lounge. I'd never heard of it, and never really bothered looking inside as we walked past. Delightful, Turkish-feel LOUNGE with comfy cushions, soft bench seats and the best bartender we've found. Now, you may need to book because those comfy spots got reserved awful quick... As the DD though, I got to try some creative mocktails - yum. We also tried the pom poms and loved the little fluffy potato bites. Ask for the Waiting for Kimberley and get your friends the Pavlova, refreshing tangy fizz!
Had a great experience here. Loved the atmosphere and the drinks were delicious. Definitely would be recommending Lychee Lounge as one of the best cocktail bars in Brisbane.
Ideal spot to meet your friends for post work catch up. The crumbed broccoli is delicious especially when you wash it down with the signature lychee martini. And hurrah they have a vegetarian slider, burgers are so much tastier when they are tiny and manageable.
Delicious cocktails! I had the pavlova which was a delicious as it was pretty. We also ordered the sliced nuts which was an absolute bargain at $4 for a huge serving.
Staff are super friendly and chatty and have a great team vibe within themselves. Wide array of cocktails and has really dark stouts for beer-lovers. Great cool/chilled/chandelier-like ambience inside with comfy cushiony seating and fabulous wall art. Convenient toilets around the corner too! Always a plus.
All I have to say is Churro's! Went for dessert and had the best Churro's. They were light and had the right amount of sugar on the outside and a lovely brandy chocolate sauce. Service was good. The cocktails being served looked amazing and the place was pumping. I'm definitely going to come back and do drinks and dinner. Get the whole experience.
LOVE LOVE LOVE this place.. One of my absolute favourite places in Brisbane. The service is by far the best any where, its all table service - even for drinks! The food is beyond good and the cocktail list is even better, especially "The Pavlova". Do yourself a favour and check them out!
Alluring environment, enticing food & drinks. Masterfully created exquisite cocktails and some fine foods to go with. This lounge is decked out stunningly, Lychee lounge please buy out a neighbouring shop and expand your venue :)

Good coctails. Cocktails took ages to come out, which was disappointing considering there were only ten people in the bar. The cocktails were great though.
10 out of 10. Great food, great cocktails, great prices and great atmosphere,. Not much more you can ask for.
Perfect date location!. Came here on a Tuesday night as fellow hospo friends from Melbourne recommended. Share food and great drinks make for a great night. We had bread,potatoes,chicken skewers and croquettes, then the pork belly (2 pieces!), and the pannacotta for dessert which was hands down top 3 desserts i've ever tried. Good beer selection, healthy cocktail selection (although an ice sphere doesn't melt quickly enough to help dilute an Old Fashioned!). and great service. There was only one girl behind the bar and one guy on the floor and probably a good 20 or 25 people in the small space. Well done!
Friendly service that wasn't rushed considering a busy bar with only one staff. She took the time to detail us on the steps ingredients and even asked us how our day was. I ordered the smokey orange whiskey drink(forgot the name) and it was exceptional. The silk and spice not so much with the flavours a little too bland to mask the strength of the vodka. Will definitely be back to try other cocktails
Classy Cocktails!. This is a great place for quiet relaxing drinks in the afternoon. Lovely bar staff and delicious cocktails - I recommend the espresso martini! Nice sophisticated decor and ambiance, a great place to catch up and lose track of time!
Fantastic service! Staff always kind, informative and willing to accommodate my food intolerances. Food is very tasty and great quality! Since the first time I ate at Lychee Lounge in October I've been back at least 5 times.. Can't keep my hands off the pork belly! Definitely a 10/10 restaurant and bar!
Hands down the bet bar in the west end! Great cocktails, food and service!
I was looking for somewhere to dine on a monday night. occurred to me the lychee lounge used to me good. I haven't been to this place for about 12 years, and man, those cocktails are better than I remembered. I am a restaurant owner myself so my expectations are pretty high. It was a Monday night, very quiet, but the cool funky music gave nice vibe. The two guys working we're extremely attentive and friendly, but not OTT. We had the tapas. Excellent. Cant speak highly enough.I'm thrilled this place hasn't gone downhill over the years. I'm in love...
Great Food, SERVICE & Cocktails!. Had a Fantastic time on Saturday night 10/8/13. Great Ambiance, Amazing Cocktails beautifully constructed & presented!! Fantastic Service (especially the red headed waitress & The Head Barman/waiter!) & Exceptional Food!!! Very impressed will be coming again! Thanks for a great evening ! :)
Good tapas food and great cocktails.
Lychee Lounge was absolutely delicious! I would recommend the Kipfler Potatoes, croquettes and sourdough! The cocktails we ordered were strong and tasty.
The only downfall was the rude staff which was a little disappointing.
Smick service, quality cocktails, great space and location. It has been around for a long time and deserves its place
Heading for a cocktail. I have always been happy here. The decor is very west end, and the cocktails are generally good. Nice place to sit and watch the street with an ice cold one in your hand.
Decently priced food. Cool trendy interior. Fantastic selection of drinks. Friendly and helpful staff. We had a great experience here and will be keen to return.
Great Cocktails/Tapas. Their cocktails are inventive & tasty. Tapas is well presented, oodles of variety & well presented.
I love this place. Really nice cocktails!
Drinks and then some. Having made great effort to survey the cocktail offerings in West End, I've been generally disappointed but my orders at Lychee Lounge have been pretty decent. Although they have a large selection of cocktails, I have found them a little bit hit and miss. Mint Juleps at this place have been consistently strong and delicious!
Although would not come specifically for food, tapas selection is pretty good, experimental, and varied.
Definitely a keeper--top pick of the neighborhood.
Love it. Lychee lounge has never done us wrong. Tapas plates are good value and I like the ambiance.
Amazing cocktails and very extensive and different cocktail menu.
Best bar in Brisbane! Extensive drink menu, great atmosphere, good food and friendly staff.
I've loved this place since I discovered it back in 2002.

Fav lounge of all. This place is great - been there twice now, once in 2008 when i was already half cut and again in 2011 sober. It was even better than i remembered it, and i already had a fantastic opinion.
Quote "Word of caution - be careful what you say about others in this place - the dome in the room means that if you sit at the wrong (right?) point you can hear others conversations loud and clear - can produce some hilarious results, but not for the drunk idiots who are talking badly about those in the bar!"

hahaha this is so true, we sat down in the middle, and after about 4mins a friend raised that it sounded like we were broadcasting over a loud speaker. Luckily other seats came spare and we took our opportunity to move...
Awesome casual cocktail lounge setting. Spent a random night there till close recently. I talked, ate, & drunk the night away. Very busy but it's obvious why!
Awesome. Fantastic drinks. Amazing food. One of my favourite bars.
"The dome" is awesome for eavesdropping if you're into that sort of thing.
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
Fantastic!. I absolutely love Lychee Lounge. The cocktail list is incredible, and for the odd cocktail that isnt on there, they are more than happy to make it for you!
I never really considered getting food there, until one day we were so busy chatting and enjoying our cocktails we missed how late it was, and decided to order some food.
We were pleasantly surprised - the food was delicious and reasonably priced, which can be very hard to find in small boutique bars!
I completely disagree with a review earlier about choosing Sling over Lychee Lounge - Yes, Lychee Lounge has a bit of a wait for drinks (it is completely packed from about 7pm onwards, and you often need a booking, especially if there is more than two people), but the wait is completely worth it. I have never waited more than 15 mins for a drink, and that was in their busiest time. There is also table service, so the time you would normally spent waiting at the bar is cut out!
Sling, the cocktail bar across the road, in comparison has watered down drinks, even if they are cheaper and quicker. Definitely not worth it.
Word of caution - be careful what you say about others in this place - the dome in the room means that if you sit at the wrong (right?) point you can hear others conversations loud and clear - can produce some hilarious results, but not for the drunk idiots who are talking badly about those in the bar!
LOVE this place. Recommend it to everyone.
Try the Crusta!. A great cocktail bar, one of Brisbane's best. The best Brandy Crusta in town.
Lychee Martini. I have been drinking lychee martinis here for almost 10 years. Always delicious.
Timeless. This place never gets old. Great for pre-dinner drinks. Extensive cocktail menu.
Cocktails cocktails cocktails. That's all you need to know about lychee lounge.
Great ambience, food & service. Comfortable, not too pretencious, but classy. For all, love it. Cocktail menu goes on for days...
Hidden Gem in the main street of West End, great vibe. Over 100 cocktails to choose from, we managed to get through a few and there was no complaints.
Tapas was varied and a great small meal to share with cocktails. bar staff offered table service for drinks.
Caters for large or small groups with bookings or walk ins available.
Had the French Martini and Lychee Martini which I can recommend, .
Will definitely be back.
Very large selection of cocktails and the bar staff are happy to help you pick with recommendations.
There is also a decent range of tapas all of which are excellent quality.
Every time I go I like to enjoy a Whisky Sour made on Woodford a Reserve Double Oak Bourbon.
Definitely give this place a try.
I and my husband love to hunt Lychee Martini and make comparison. This place is the best so FAR.
Even though the glass size now is slightly smaller :( with the same Price
Tasty cocktails, chilled vibe but a mission to find the toilets ... walking around with a spatula is no fun lol
Update: Back again for more lychee martini’s! And to confirm they don’t do shisha! Please pass it on
Loved the cocktails at Lychee Lounge. My favourite is the Silk Road. A great balance between creamy & fruity; with a little zest added from the green apple. The only downfall is that they don't give a how-to tutorial so i can make myself one at home!
Fantastic cocktails!!! The place has a great atmosphere and the staff is super attentive and prompt!! Great place to chill inside or watch the world go by by the window
Really delicious cocktails and AMAZING service. The bartenders obviously know their stuff! I can understand why this place is still going after years and years.
I do wish the seating was more comfortable and the music was not instrumental elevator jazz though.
Good atmosphere. Great drink selection. Book in advance if you want the couch seats. Espresso Martini spot on.
