TL;DR - very interesting atmosphere, a lot of missing ingredients and not really proactive solutions to these missing parts. Worth a visit nonetheless
My experience:
Things I liked: my espresso martini, the aesthetics, the board games.
I went the Thursday night the storms started to pick up so it wasn’t too busy but can understand the staff still being a bit stressed keeping stuff inside and everything.
The night started out really well, we sat on the couch and enjoyed some cocktails and some of the board games provided at the venue.
Though the sign at the front says to “ask staff about cocktail specials” I would suggest just reading from their digital menu, as when I did ask the bartender seemed a bit perplexed and unsure where to begin (which is fair as I don’t expect them to remember all their drinks off the top of their head, just seemed a bit odd for the sign to be there saying we should ask).
Things went downhill when we went to go order food and another round of drinks. First of all… $35 seems a bit steep for a charcuterie board of this quality. I would avoid at all costs. Their popcorn chicken for $13.5 isn’t so bad.
I had paid for our drinks and meal and went to sit back down. Around 5 minutes later the bartender comes up to us saying there is a small amount of a particular ingredient left for one of our drinks. Suggests a random drink, my friend just says they’ll take what they’ve tried before — which so happens to be a drink that’s cheaper than the one paid for. No offer of refund is made then.
5 minutes after that, the staff comes up to us again and says they’re missing the camembert, but can do double the cheddar (?), we reluctantly agree. Get given a board with four blocks of cheddar. It was just a bit subpar and really not worth $35.
What’s more despite being one of maybe a total of 7 guests inside, the music was blasting and it was almost like rock music at times. It didn’t really suit the aesthetic in my opinion and it was too loud which made conversation difficult.
With a bit of a sour taste in my mouth I tried my hand at maybe getting a refund on the difference in the drinks. That last interaction with the staff was actually really quite nice, so all in all I have to say - definitely a place to check out, friendly staff who are doing their best with what they have. Research their menu before you go and think of alternatives in case they don’t have the ingredients for what you want. (and do not even think of ordering the charcuterie board)

Excellent service and food! Special thank you to Chris in the kitchen for delivering on a tricky request. Meals here are consistantly good. Come for the awesome wings on Tuesday. I reccomend you order plan and have the source on the side. Blue cheese is a must.

2 Sauvignon blanc on offer both tarty & vinegary, but they do a generous pour! We had the popcorn chicken this was nice Husband had a cheeseburger said it was great! The charcuterie board was very lack lustre at $35 cheap jar olives, Brie was from a can! mustard pickles an odd addition perhaps a dip would have been better there was plenty of bread it mentioned grapes didn't see any!

Great schnitzel! We got two cocktails one with nerds on it and a watermelon warhead they were both super delicious! The service was great she came out and brought a dog bowl for my doggo. We took my partners mum and our dog and sat outside on the deck it was nice out there. The only thing I would say to the place is with your menu being online please have the qr codes link to the food menu or the drinks menu directly instead of sending you to the homepage of the website and then having to navigate across.

Awesome cocktails. But came on a Saturday at 8:45pm and apparently no more cocktails being served. Welcome to Brisbane, forever will be catching up to Sydney, Melbourne and checks notes: Adelaide.
Update: came back on a Tuesday at 8:00pm. This bartender was very friendly and had not put ingredients for cocktails away. Service was excellent and cocktails were even better!

Nice ambience and great food.
It was less busy on a Monday night. Ordered fish and chips, calamari, onion rings and a burger, which we all enjoyed. Staff are friendly and did not wait long for food to be served.
