About Dr Gimlette Brisbane

Step off Edward Street into exposed brick, timber, and low light—a heritage room built for serious drinking. Regulars skip the printed list, letting bartenders tailor custom pours around whatever flavor notes they name. Order a martini and staff roll a dedicated cart to the booth, talking through botanicals and stirring the drink at your elbow. It settles in as the CBD's easiest late stop for unhurried conversation and a final round.

  • Bespoke Mixology: Name your preferred flavor profile and bartenders stir or shake custom off-menu builds on the spot.
  • Tableside Cart Service: Dedicated martini and whisky trolleys roll to your booth for spirit consultations and tailored pours.
  • Heritage Nightcaps: Exposed brick and dim lighting set the scene for relaxed, unhurried nightcaps and small gatherings.

Why Guests Choose Dr Gimlette

From dedicated tableside spirit carts to tailored off-menu creations in a moody heritage room, secure your reservation for an elevated evening in Brisbane.

  • Tableside Cart Consultations

    Dedicated martini and whisky carts are wheeled directly to your seat, where staff consult on spirits, profile styles, and craft tailored drinks right before your eyes.

    I asked for a martini and they brought out an entire trolley for me to choose which gin or vodka I’d like to use, then she explained the type of martini’s and the differences, then proceeded to make it in front of me.

  • Bespoke Drink Formulations

    Rather than keeping strictly to the printed menu, bartenders create off-menu builds tailored on the fly to individual flavor cravings and surprise prompts.

    You can simply tell them what flavours you like, and they’ll create a cocktail exactly to your taste.

  • Intimate Date-Night Capstones

    Intimate nooks, subdued lighting, and inventive drinks make the room a natural final stop to wind down an evening or date.

    Dark atmosphere, intimate vibes and the drinks were unique and interesting. The perfect end to a date night on Friday the 13th for us.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you get drinks made tableside?

Yes. Staff can bring a dedicated martini or whisky cart directly to your table, where they explain the spirits, discuss preparation styles, and mix custom drinks right in front of you.

Can the bartenders create a custom cocktail based on your preferences?

Yes. If you prefer something off-menu or are unsure what to pick, the bartenders will ask what flavour profiles you enjoy and craft a bespoke cocktail suited to your tastes.

Does the bar serve food or snacks?

Dr Gimlette focuses strictly on drinks and does not offer a food or bar snack menu, so plan to eat before or after your visit.

Is Dr Gimlette wheelchair accessible?

Yes, though it requires assistance. Staff can direct you to an alternative entrance to avoid front steps, followed by a stair lift up to the main bar area. The primary restrooms are located downstairs.

How do gift vouchers work?
