Bar Alto

The verdict

Bar Alto takes pride of place in the Brisbane Powerhouse, one of Brisbane's leading underground arts and entertainment precincts. The architecturally designed, renovated industrial space provides a perfect backdrop to one of the most laid back and beautiful bars in Brisbane, and one of its best Italian restaurants. With an open timber balcony overlooking the Brisbane river, a well chosen wine list, well-made cocktails and delicious casual Italian readily available, Bar Alto the place to be on a lazy Sunday afternoon. You must try the mussels!
