The laneway bar culture in Brisbane is booming. And there certainly is plenty of variety if you are looking for the right spot to hang out each night. Here is a list of top laneway bars in Brisbane for you to explore.
What was once a former beauty school on vintage Burnette Lane in Brisbane, the Super Whatnot is a bar with a lovely cosy intimate feel. A well-hidden hole in the wall kind of place this bar is out of a Harry Potter movie because apart from an S and W added on the wall outside there is nothing to indicate the place exists. But kudos to those of you who do decide to go looking, the Super Whatnot is the kind of place you can let your hair down, relax and nurse your favourite drink. Wines, the best spirits and some smart cocktail concoctions make up the menu. Burnette Lane is only 6 minutes from places like Oaks Brisbane on Charlotte Suites in case you are looking for one of the centrally located Brisbane Hotel apartments because all smart travellers know the golden rule to convenient exploring is a convenient location.
Want to go out for the night and spend a fancy evening at an uber-chic bar that makes you feel you're in Europe? Look no further than Makers Bar. This stylish hole in the wall bar is located on Fish Lane to the south of Brisbane CBD and is another easy to reach spot from your well-located Brisbane city hotel. The most notable aspect of the place is the signature cocktails. Dress to complement the ambience comprising of cool black and white décor.
Another one on Fish Lane to check out is the tongue twister bar which you can simply call SBC.

The large communal style beer hall is complemented by a menu that boasts some of the finest pub dishes which means the place is for a serious night of food and beer.
