New Tricks

Industrial shed meets classic Queenslander—with a heavy pour of prohibition speakeasy. That’s New Tricks. Brisbane's cocktail purists are quietly passing around the address to this vibrant Albion outpost. The backbar is a true botanical playground. Expect heavy cut-glassware brimming with boutique gins, stellar caramel martinis, and curated wines, all slung by fiercely attentive staff. It’s an atmospheric, upbeat backdrop for an intimate date night or a full-blown wedding reception. Event planners constantly tap this space for its ultimate DIY flexibility—bring your own food truck, arrange the seating, and hit the karaoke or small live stage. Snack on baked brie or massive charcuterie boards between rounds. With flawless acoustics, a famously laid-back vibe, and plentiful free parking by the oval, dates fill up fast. Book ahead.
