Bloodhound Corner Bar & Kitchen

Fortitude Valley


Starting life as a grocery store, this 19th-century pile is now a new-school Valley bar with a solid selection of rotating craft beers. Vintage brick walls, mottled floorboards and open fireplaces share the space with street art and plenty of hipster beards. Check its Facebook page for upcoming gigs featuring local and touring music acts. Decent bar grub includes soft-shell tacos.
