The Gresham

The verdict

The Gresham Bar, tucked down Gresham Lane just off Queen Street in the middle of the Brisbane CBD, is definitely worth checking out if you're a whiskey fan, or you just appreciate a good, old-fashioned bar. The location of this bar is dripping with history. Walking through the large cedar doors at The Gresham is like stepping back in time, with styling cues from the 19th century that include Chesterfield couches and 7-metre high pressed metal ceilings. 

Speaking of impeccable, have you seen the line up of bourbon, scotch and rums they have behind the bar? The list is longer than your grandad's ears, and you know you're sitting in a true whiskey bar when the "premium" whiskeys you buy from your bottle-o are the house whiskeys.

There is also a great list of local craft and commercial beers on offer. If a beer by itself is a bit boring for you, why not order one of our five flavour-matched boilermakers they've carefully constructed? A Bulmers Cider with a shot of Sloe gin perhaps?
