Why it's worth checking out
Brooklyn Standard is one of Brisbane's most atmospheric bars, with a 4.5-star average from more than 1,500 reviews.
The cosy, New York-themed basement bar serves cocktails alongside live bands playing blues, funk and soul — the kind of characterful, music-led room made for a proper night out. That big tally of feedback reflects how much character it packs in.
Tucked away in the city, it's an easy choice when the plan is good drinks and live music. Brooklyn Standard suits a night with friends, a date or some late-night atmosphere — and it's at its best later in the evening.
