The Laneway Bar Brisbane Locals Keep Coming Back To

Some bars sit right in front of you. Brew makes you wander down Lower Burnett Lane first.

If you're searching for the laneway bar Brisbane locals know, that's a pretty good place to begin. Brew Cafe & Wine Bar is Brisbane's oldest laneway bar, tucked into the CBD with a simple approach to the day: breakfast, burgers and booze. Coffee in the morning. A proper feed when hunger kicks in. Cocktails, wine and craft beer when work is done.

Why the laneway bar Brisbane experience starts in Burnett Lane

The laneway isn't an add-on to Brew. It's part of the place.

Lower Burnett Lane gives Brew a sense of separation from the CBD streets around it. The venue's low lighting, music and relaxed atmosphere make it somewhere you can settle in rather than rush straight back out.

Brew has been part of Brisbane’s laneway scene longer than most. As Brisbane’s oldest laneway bar, that history is part of its character, but you don’t need the backstory to enjoy it. Head down Lower Burnett Lane, grab a table, and settle in.

A laneway bar Brisbane can use from morning to night

Brew is a little unusual for a bar because mornings matter here too.

The coffee comes from ST. ALi Coffee Roasters, and the breakfast menu covers everything from Brew Eggs 'Benny' and Smashed Avocado on Toast to the Big Breakfast, Sweet Breakfast Waffles and the Classic Brekky Burger.

Burgers, snacks and a reason to stay

This isn't a drinks-only operation.

The Brew Burger stacks slow-cooked pulled beef with bacon, American cheddar, spinach, pickles and chipotle slaw. The Southern Fried Chicken Burger brings fried chicken, bacon, cheddar and chipotle slaw, while the Pulled Jackfruit Burger keeps things vegan with tomato salsa, slaw and avocado.

And if the table needs something in the middle, there's arancini, wings, truffle fries, tempura spiced cauliflower and loaded fries.

What sets Brew apart from other laneway bars Brisbane has to offer

Once the arvo rolls around, the bar takes over.

Margaritas range from the classic tequila, Triple Sec and lime combination through to chilli, passionfruit, strawberry and coconut versions. The cocktail list covers an Espresso Martini, Negroni, Old Fashioned, Amaretto Sour, Aperol Spritz and plenty more.
