The Eagles Nest name speaks for itself. Gaze upon the city and enjoy picturesque views of the Brisbane River from the 12th floor of The Point hotel. The bar has a partnership with Moet & Chandon and carries the exclusive Moet Ice Imperial champagne for those who prefer the finer things in life. The minimalist, modern décor, candlelit ambience, and live music makes it a prime location for the hip, young crowds of Brisbane.

Say hello to your new favourite pool party venue. Soleil Pool Bar features an inviting wooden deck, a pool full of floaties, tiki torches, and a rotation of DJs who create an upbeat, club-like atmosphere. Bring a large group of friends, because there’s plenty of room for mingling and meeting new people. Their popular Capri Sundays feature brunch, punch bowls, live music, and hopefully, lots of Sun so you can BYOT (bring your own towel) and sit by the pool.

One of Brisbane’s more upscale venues, Spicers Balfour is ideal for a romantic getaway for the night. The bar has sensational views of Brisbane’s Story Bridge, and a dimly-lit ambience for an easygoing, sophisticated night. Don’t forget to check out their gourmet selection of appetizers and entrées – arrive early to have dinner, and stay for a few drinks to enjoy a classy evening.

Sophisticated, elegant, and exclusive. Maya Rooftop Bar is situated eleven stories high above Brisbane and offers a majestic 270-degree view of Fortitude Valley. Drawing design and architectural inspiration from the Middle East, Istanbul, and Ibiza, Eleven has an exotic, luxurious feel. Enjoy a glass of wine on their Cristalo Quartzite marble top bar, or have a seat by the edge of the rooftop to enjoy the sweeping views of the city. Perfect for a relaxing, romantic date night.

Mimosas by day, tequila by night. Lennons Pool Bar is open for brunch, so you can relax under the sun (or the sun umbrellas) and munch on Mt. Zero olives, spiced nuts, or shucked oysters. If you’re not a day drinker, Lennon’s is alive at night with plenty of seating by the pool, which is lit up by several floating orbs in the water. Sit down on the lounge chairs by the pool, or mingle by the bar to meet that enticing stranger from across rooftop.

Despite its name, The Stock Exchange isn't your typical trading room. Renovated in 2014, it offers modern cuisine and design. The Rooftop Garden adds a fresh atmosphere. With nightly events like trivia and sports screenings, it's always buzzing. Established in 1863, it remains one of Brisbane's best bars.
