Best Nightlife in Brisbane City

"Eleven Rooftop Bar has been reimagined, now going by the name of Maya Mexican and serving up a new range of exotic drinks and food for a limited time only. Panoramic views of Brisbane can now be enjoyed from a Caribbean-inspired setting, with a side of margheritas and tacos. View this post on Instagram"

"Set high above the Brisbane skyline this is definitely a cool place to chill out, have a drink and look at the scenery both outside in inside the bar. Eleven is 25 stories above the rest of the nightlife below on Ann Street. This is a laid-back venue for those who are hard to impress."

"Making the most of its Eagle Street Pier location, Sake Restaurant & Bar is a breezy iteration of Rockpool Dining Group’s popular contemporary Japanese concept. It’s also one of the best expressions of the long-established Sake chain, best experienced through the $110 “omakase”, which is more like a set-menu that’s loaded with the menu’s greatest hits like popcorn shrimp with yuzu mayo, a chef’s selection of sashimi, miso ‘Glacier 51’ toothfish, and Tajima wagyu strip loin.

"If you’re in the market for contemporary Japanese, Sake will hit the spot. With the freshest sashimi and local seafood on the menu, mixed with delectable cocktails to complement, you’re in for a treat. https://www.instagram.com/p/BS4zqQdDoX8/?"

"Sake Restaurant and Bar is conveniently located in Brisbanes CBD and heralds a new era in Japanese cuisine. Shinichi Maeda x chef of the award winning Wasabi Japanese restaurant in Noosa is at the hel..."

"Alchemy Restaurant Brisbane provides some of the best waterfront dining experiences Brisbane has to offer. Stepping inside this Brisbane steakhouse, guests will be greeted with a warm and sophisticated indoor-outdoor venue that overlooks the Story Bridge. Complimenting a gastronomic selection of classic and contemporary, Alchemy features a range of wagyu, dry-aged and pasture-fed cuts that pairs exquisitely with their long list of Australian, New Zealand and European wine options."

"If you travel a little further down the boardwalk alongside the river from Customs House, you will soon find yourself standing in front of Alchemy, one of the best restaurants and eateries that make up the Eagle Street Pier precinct. This Italian-inspired restaurant is brought to us by highly acclaimed Australian chef Brad Jolly. His culinary excellence truly shines through in his food and impeccable plate presentation will be sure to tantalise your tastebuds."

"The lavish Emporium Hotel couldn’t be closer to the best theatres and museums in the city and is within strolling distance of Brisbane River and South Bank Parklands – but we won’t judge you if you don’t go anywhere. The Emporium is seriously tempting, with flashy red decor, an Art Deco piano bar with live jazz, a French patisserie and one of the best rooftop bars in the city. All just steps from your opulent bedroom, which comes with a hand-crafted bronze bar, silk wardrobes and a glass-walled bathroom that can be made private with the flick of a switch."

"With larger than normal rooms and one of the hottest rooftop bars in Brisbane the 143-room Emporium Hotel South Bank is glamour – painted red and gold – all the way. Digital displays on walls, ceilings and lifts throughout the hotel add visual interest, and frangipani flower motifs set the tropical tone."

"The Terrace Rooftop Bar of the Emporium Hotel at South Bank has stunning city views. Drop by for a drink and watch the light from the setting sun reflect on all the city buildings. Or better still, book a room at the Emporium Hotel and you’ll get access to their impressive rooftop infinity pool."

"Looks like smaller nightclub that is centred around the dancefloor. They have ”booth service” which seems to be bringing in more of an American hierarchical system into the Brisbane nightclub scene. This place is worthy of a mention but ranks lower than the others."

"Harking back to the prohibition era of the 1920s and 30s, this speakeasy-style bar is named after the SS Walrus, a floating distillery that trawled the Logan River in the 19th century. The atmospheric venue features exposed brick walls, archways, rum crates, candelabras and comfy leather couches; all befitting ladies and dapper gentlemen on a mission to sample some of the best cocktails in the city.

"Often the best bars are hidden away, and you will find this to be the case with this speakeasy underground. Beneath the iconic Regatta Hotel lies The Walrus Club – a raw brick, chesterfield couch-laden rum den. The large rabbit warren of space is great for groups and you can catch the CityCat straight to its door – which would be fitting as it draws its name from the SS Walrus, a Brisbane ship that was briefly a floating rum distillery."

"This New Farm local is the OG of American places in Brisbane. Previously called Blue Smoke, it’s been dishing up authentic BBQ from their wood-fired grill since 2006. This is one of the few places that do ribs like they do in Texas – with plenty of smoky flavour and a sauce that’s not too sweet."

"It's not named Australia's #1 boutique burger brand for no reason!. Milky Lane are open and they're here for you, offering takeaway orders (most preferred for them), delivery orders (on Deliveroo and UberEats for most stores) and you can even buy a gift voucher to support them. Munch on some of their mouth-watering burgers all in the comfort of your own home."

"Sooo Sweet is a little hidden gem just outside the city is the perfect spot for a sweet tooth’s fix. With a huge assortment of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean sweet pastries, you’ll probably spend a good half hour just trying to figure out which ones to try. Perfectly cooked Baklava, Turkish delight, ice cream and biscuits are just some of the treats you’ll find at one of the best cake shops in Brisbane."
