Disguised behind a barbershop facade on Cordelia Street, this South Brisbane speakeasy pairs craft drinks with throwback hip-hop. Enter through the trick entrance—pick up the retro phone, key the code, and step inside. The room runs dark and compact, backed by an old-school soundtrack spinning 90s and early 2000s rap and R&B. Behind the counter, the menu leans into themed concoctions like the spicy, tabasco-laced Wu-Tang Slam, mixed alongside house specials while guests settle into corners with takeout carried in from next door.

Before you head over
Practical advice on gaining entry, planning your visit, and pairing drinks
Getting inside through the secret entrance
The entrance is disguised behind a barber shop facade with a mirror door; dial the secret passcode on the vintage telephone outside to release the latch and gain entry.
Timing for space in an intimate venue
Because the bar is an intimate, cozy speakeasy, it can feel tight when busy. Plan your visit for earlier in the evening or a casual weeknight if you want to avoid peak congestion.
Bringing in outside food
The venue focuses strictly on craft cocktails, but you are welcome to order food from neighboring Fish Lane spots and bring it inside to enjoy with your drinks.
