6 Hidden Bars In Brisbane Where You Can Hide From Life

We all need to get away from it all sometimes. Here's some Brisbane bars where no one will find you drinking your sorrows away.

1. The Walrus club

The Thousands / Via thethousands.com.au

Not a single sign points the way to this underground cellar under Regatta Hotel, where candles and secret alcoves create a bar that wouldn't look out of place in a horror film.

2. The Fever Club

Alfred & Constance / Via alfredandconstance.com.au

A glossy, flouro lit bunker below the chaos of the Alfred & Constance bar above, The Fever Club's retro white couches make it the perfect place to sip on a Cosmo. Bonus, you'll be safe in the unlikely occurrence of a nuclear apocolypse.

3. The Twig and Berry

Australian Bartender / Via australianbartender.com.au

A tiny sign in a window almost at sidewalk level is all that marks this underground bar tucked away behind an apartment building. Hunt it down though, and you'll find a cool lounge full of flower-patterned couches where cocktails reign supreme.

4. The Mermaid Lounge

Must Do Brisbane / Via mustdobrisbane.com

Head to Lefty's Old Time Music Hall and resist the temptation of hitting their apple whiskey too hard and you might just be able to find the secret bar hidden upstairs. Behind a door that looks like you'll get in a bit of trouble from the staff if you open it, is The Mermaid bar, full of leather couches and nautical-themed beers.

5. The Skukum Lounge

The Weekend Edition / Via theweekendedition.com.au

As if Junk Bar wasn't hard enough to find as it was, the hidden suburban bar has another layer of secrets inside. Head to the right of the velvet curtains and you'll find a corner bar filled with odd bits and bobs - and plenty of booze.

6. Greaser

Must Do Brisbane / Via mustdobrisbane.com

Man up and brave a dark alleyway to a passage through a bustling kitchen and you'll find, well, a bar that looks even creepier than the alleyway. But don't mind the graffitied walls and dive bar feel, there's enough tequila cocktails on the menu to give you plenty of liquid courage for the night.
