The Gresham Bar

Brisbane’s cocktail elite point straight to Queen Street for this one. The Gresham isn't just a bar—it’s an institution of liquid perfection. Classy yet effortlessly casual. Step inside and let the hospitality heavyweights behind the stick read the room. Flawless execution. Deep cuts of Australian and international gin. A backbar overflowing with serious uisce beatha—spirits aficionados regularly tip their hats to the encyclopedic whiskey knowledge on display here. House pours of Buffalo Trace anchor a killer classic Old Fashioned, while the signature Gresham Lane delivers a wildly good cherry cola twist. Day beers in the CBD? Absolute immaculate mood. Late-night drams? Unmatched. The food program is strictly streamlined to elite drinking snacks, anchored by a legendary cheese toastie fiercely defended as the absolute best in town. Unpretentious, undeniably world-class, and strictly for those who know how to drink well.
