Brisbane's Best Whisky Bars

Brisbane's whisky bars occupy an eclectic collection of historic buildings throughout the inner city and CBD. From bars specializing in whisky cocktails to American bourbon, all of these bars feature an impressive range of whiskeys:

Mrs J. Rabbits is a secret 1920s whiskey and jazz speakeasy whose entrance is through an antique wardrobe
The Gresham Bar is one of Brisbane’s most ambient old world bourbon and whisky bars, tucked away in a corner of the heritage listed National Australia Bank on the edge of Gresham Lane
Lefty's Music Hall is like a lavish honky tonk saloon meets bordello beamed up from the deep south of 19th century America
Cobbler is the type of bar that you frequently look for but never find – a cool New York loft style whisky and cocktail lounge
Death & Taxes is a gorgeous old-world cocktail lounge and wine bar hidden away in Brisbane's oldest laneway
Savile Row is a hidden Valley treasure that is one of Brisbane’s best bars - an opulent speakeasy-style vintage lounge bar
Downstairs in what was an 1860's marketplace is the bar sibling of the dining room upstairs, with a whisky focus
Old Bill’s is a premium spirit bar pouring over 100 whiskeys and bespoke gin cocktails, located at the back of Hogan’s Bistro in Wellington Point.

This neighbourhood haunt is named for the year it was built - 1927 and features more than 250 whiskies in a library-style bar
