About Midtown Bar & Dining Brisbane

A snug New York-style drinking den along Fish Lane, this spot pours ten dedicated martinis alongside buttery lobster croissants. Bartenders happily stir custom specs off-menu or pour classic dirty variations alongside fresh oysters and caviar chicken nuggets. Monthly rotating menus keep things fresh with themed seasonal seafood, making it an easy drop-in for pre-theatre plates or a midnight nightcap over steak tartare cigars.

  • Ten-Variety Martini Focus: Ten dedicated martini variations on pour, bespoke off-menu builds, and a late-afternoon Martini Hour paired with lobster croissants.
  • Monthly Themed Menus: Chefs swap in monthly multi-course themes highlighting seasonal seafood, from provincial stews to caviar snacks.
  • Late-Night Fish Lane Hideaway: A moody 40-seat Fish Lane space welcoming late-night drop-ins for supper and post-theatre cocktails.
