5 Best Brisbane Bars

Canvas

Canvas is a relatively small place, but among Brisbane bars good things often come in small packages. The atmosphere is trendy, but not to an uncomfortable extreme. Enjoy an atmosphere decorated with artwork by local street artists while you order up cocktails and watch the bartender chip ice right off a giant block. If wine is more your style, Canvas is one of the best Brisbane bars for trying unusual vino varieties.

Lychee Lounge

The Lychee Lounge is one of those Brisbane bars where you can enjoy cocktails and have dinner or munch on tapas if you want to spend some leisurely time with friends. It's the kind of place where ambiance and functionality blend together nicely. The decor has a decidedly Asian flare, and the service is prompt and friendly. The Lychee Lounge is an exotic but relaxed spot to have a drink among Brisbane bars when you're looking for something just a bit different on your night out.

Salon Lounge

The Salon Lounge is the place to go among Brisbane bars when you want to try drinks with a bit of a unique touch. You'll find classic cocktails that are easy to come by at other Brisbane bars, but you'll also find concoctions like the Field of Flowers, made with gin, elderflower liqueur, and jasmine cordial, or the Dos Amigos, which blends tequila with lemon and grapefruit juices and adds in some quince jam. You'll also find various tapas to sate your appetite as you work your way through the unique libations.

Mick O'Malley's Irish Pub

With a name like Mick O'Malleys, you know that this location among Brisbane bars is going to make you feel like you stepped onto the Emerald Isle.  Mick O'Malley's is a laid-back oasis, with comfortable seating, sports on the television screens, poker machines to try your luck, and authentic lunch and dinner menus. You'll find over a dozen beers on tap to fill your mug. Like many of the best Brisbane bars, it features live music on certain evenings that might just entice you to hop up and dance a jig.

Sling Lounge

Choose another place among Brisbane bars rather than the Sling Lounge if you tend to have trouble making up your mind. Hurry down to this amazing, unpretentious bar if you like to experiment and won't feel overwhelmed by this gem among Brisbane bars that features over 200 cocktails on its menu. Don't be surprised if the bartenders are busily experimenting with even more new and imaginative concoctions.
