Inside Brew, a hidden laneway bar in Burnett Lane Brisbane CBD

A Hidden Bar in the Heart of the CBD

Step off the street and down into the lane, and the city seems to switch off. Low lighting, good music, friendly bar staff and that laneway buzz. It's the kind of place where 'one quick drink after work' turns into dinner.

What to Drink

  • Margaritas – classic, Tommy's, chilli, passionfruit, strawberry and coconut.
  • Cocktails – Espresso Martini, Negroni, Old Fashioned, Aperol Spritz, Amaretto Sour and more.
  • Wine – a curated list of Australian, New Zealand, French and Italian drops, by the glass or bottle.
