Electric Avenue

Brisbane


Take a moody, antiques-decorated bar, add a worthy bistro, throw in a speakeasy and you have Electric Avenue. Downstairs, serious cocktails – both classic and creative – are accompanied by craft beers and gins, well-chosen wines and seasonal dishes. Lurking upstairs is Prohibition-inspired Mrs Jack Rabbits, an intimate, old-world spot perfect for savouring a niche whisky...or perhaps another gin martini.
