Why it's worth checking out
The Back Room is a much-loved Toowong bar, with a 4.4-star average from more than 150 reviews.
A rating that high points to a place that gets the drinks and the atmosphere right — the kind of characterful, welcoming spot that becomes a favourite for a night out.
Toowong, in Brisbane's inner west, is easy to reach and well served by public transport. The Back Room suits a drink with friends, a date or the start of an evening — and it's at its best later in the evening and on weekends.
