After-Work Drinks in Brisbane
It's hard to find the right venue for work drinks.
Chances are, you'll be rolling with a large group of diverse ages and tastes. You need a big bar with an egalitarian streak – one that offers Champagne alongside XXXX, without judging your office get-up.
Some of our choices are smaller or more specialised. But for the most part, we've gone for the true all-rounders, where everyone can find a seat and a drink they like. Go on, get that weekend started.
Bar
Sixteen Antlers
Watch the sun set while sipping cocktails and easy-drinking beers.
Bar
Communal Bar & Eat House
Plenty of outdoor seating and a shareable food menu make this one a winner.
Bar
The Montague Hotel
It's a bit of a trek from the CBD, but a 400-person capacity, TV screens for sport and plenty of beers on tap make it one of the strongest choices on this list.
Bar
The Gresham
Queensland's only heritage-listed pub has a refined charm that's perfect if you're drinking with an older group.
Bar
Gerard’s Bar
Arrive early, nab a table on the front deck and share charcuterie and cocktails.
Bar
Catchment Brewing Co.
Stay downstairs and graze all night, or score one of the two petite balconies and people-watch on Boundary Street.
Bar
Brewski
Good beer and comfort food. Nothing more, nothing less. Just what you need after a hard day at work.
Bar
Saccharomyces Beer Cafe
Drop into this pseudo German garden bar for Berlin summer ambience, craft beer and UNO.
Bar
Dr Gimlette
A boundary-pushing cocktail bar from the team behind CBD laneway bar Death and Taxes. It takes service to a whole new level, with roving Martini carts delivering expertly made seasonal drinks to luxurious leather booths.
Bar
At Sixes and Sevens
Booze and salty, booze-friendly food in a relaxed setting.
Bar
Cru Bar & Cellar
Probably a bit uptight for most workplaces, but if you have a few co-workers who are into wine, this will be a hit.
