Noir Paddington

Noir Paddington is a wine bar on Given Terrace centred on Australian and international wines, with food designed to accompany the list rather than compete with it. The offering includes small plates, charcuterie and the venue’s signature Luxe Toasties, giving guests options for anything from a quick drink to a longer afternoon of grazing. Its menus are built around pairing, with local and imported accompaniments featured on the charcuterie boards and a rotating selection of seasonal cocktails alongside the wines.

The setting is deliberately atmospheric. Noir describes its space as dimly lit and cellar-inspired, with a palette of rich reds and bold blacks that gives the Paddington venue a more intimate feel than a typical bright, casual bar. The focus is on relaxed, considered drinking and food with strong flavours, whether you are settling in for a toastie, sharing a board or simply ordering a glass.

Noir comes from the people behind Press d Wine Co and Gerries, bringing a wine-bar perspective that puts equal attention on the pour and what sits beside it. It suits a date, a small catch-up or solo visit when you want to take your time over a glass and a few bites. The venue is open from Tuesday to Sunday, with later service on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and bookings are available for those planning ahead. You’ll find it at 216 Given Terrace in Paddington, Brisbane.
