Why you should visit it
Cocktails! The barmen here are all highly experienced and creative. Tell them a few flavours you like and they'll whip up a cocktail you've never heard of but will rave about for days. The bar is outside of the main drag of Fortitude Valley so it's quieter but still a part of the buzzing nightlife.
Special tip
If you're going for dinner, book a table because they're limited!
