About Finney Isles

Slip behind the blue door on Ann Street into a Fortitude Valley lounge built for unhurried drinking—serious craft minus the pretense. Low lights. Deep leather seating. Regulars steer newcomers here to skip the printed list and let the bartenders shake something bespoke to taste. Along the back wall, bottles display their prices pinned straight to the glass, flanked by charcuterie boards to anchor the table. The round usually settles over a Panda Passion topped with house-made foam.

  • Bespoke Cocktails: Mixologists craft custom off-menu drinks and signatures like the Panda Passion, topped with house-made foam.
  • Low-Lit Lounge: Comfortable leather seating and mellow acoustics create an easy, unhurried space for conversation.
  • Whiskey Library & Charcuterie: An expansive collection of individually tagged spirits and craft beers paired with curated cheese and cured meat boards.

  • Narrative-Driven Cocktail Journeys

    Cocktails are orchestrated as cohesive sensory narratives where each sip prioritizes balanced flavor over sheer potency.

    The art is not in the alcoholic content, but the smooth and exciting story of the cocktail. Each sip was savored, enjoyed, and taken in.
