Best cocktails in Brisbane. The Cloakroom Bar is setting a new standard for cocktail lounges in Brisbane. Great atmosphere, perfect service and amazing drinks that the bartenders will make to your own personal tastes based on your discussions with them as they seat you. They even gave us a complimentary ‘palate cleanser’ before being served our cocktails, which was a nice touch.
It is so great for Brisbane to have a bar of this calibre. Amazing cocktails, great service and very knowledgable staff. Very enjoyable evening had by us all. Highly recommended!
Sometimes I like to pretend I'm totally fancy pants: and that alter ego found the ULTIMATE hidden Brisbane laneway bar! Down a dingy alley, up an industrial staircase, through the nondescript door, round a couple bends & voila! Even when you think it's wrong, keep forging ahead to discover an exclusive, sophisticated CBD sanctuary.
This pimped out place is for specialsies; think intimate rendezvous / mature conversations / hipster posing / young suited professionals...not happy hour jelly shots & laybacks.
Without even asking, on arrival we're presented with cold refresher towels (on a filthy muggy day) and palate cleansers - a spiffy pink vodka-based raspberry collins. For the main event there's no wine or cocktail list; instead a focus on personalised beverages based on individual tastes. This led us to a margarita-style cocktail, a fruit forward rose & a dry Alsace pinot blanc. Fabulous!
A few things detracted from a perfect score...there's a distinct lack of pricing info. Thank god it was my colleagues' shout cos just the cocktail & one glass of wine came to (clears throat) $37. There was also zero music. We craved a muted hipster cocktail playlist or down tempo DJ set. And heads up: it's a food-free zone. Not even bar snacks or a bowl of nuts.
Ineffably unique. My cinderella self is likely to return on the rare occasion she needs to impress and/or is super flush. And if the fancy pants are freshly pressed from the cleaners.
