Coming soon: a hidden 3am cocktail contender for 2025's best new bar
Finally, Brisbane's drinks scene is beginning to evolve. A few years ago, the city boasted a bunch of cracking cocktail bars – Death & Taxes, Maker, The Gresham, Dr Gimlette, Savile Row – but not much else. While Brisbane's restaurant scene diversified, our smaller boozers felt stuck in a low gear, new operators seemingly unable, or unwilling, to take a swing on fresh ideas. But then came Frog's Hollow and Alice and Barry Parade Public House, and wine bars suddenly got both more freewheeling and serious, with the opening of Dark Red, Milquetoast and Dark Red's new sister venue, Dark Blue. All have a unique angle or location, or a combination of the two. Now comes The Alligator Club, a New Orleans-inspired basement bolthole due to open in the Valley in early August.

One of the Valley's best bars welcomes heritage-listed sister venue
For wines, Wagner is focusing on drops from Spain, Chile and Argentina, with the initial list running to around 60 bottles. Ask her to show you some – she's particularly proud of a Korinta chasselas, a Cacique Maravilla pipeno (which roughly translates to 'peasant wine') made from pais grapes – both from Chile – and a Matias Riccitelli malbec from Argentina. 'I was really keen to cut into more niche portfolios,' she says. 'By its nature with wine, you tend to learn about the terroir of a place, its geography. You're learning about the cultures and the history.' There are also snacks such as tinned sardines and octopus, Superbon Madrid crisps, and deli boards you can compile yourself with items such as a terrine and a cherry duck pate. It might be a more grown-up version of Dark Red, but Dark Blue still only has 30 seats. In short, get there early after work if you want to grab a seat.
