Lefty's Old Time Music Hall

Top choice in Brisbane


Paint the town and the front porch too: there's a honky-tonk bar in Brisvegas! Tarted up with chandeliers and mounted moose heads, scarlet-hued Lefty's keeps the good times rolling with close to 200 whiskies and the sweet twang of live country music. The venue includes a pop-up of top-notch Valley burger joint, Ben's Burgers, open 5pm to 10pm Wednesday to Sunday.
