MAYA is 11 floors up above the rest of the nightlife below on Ann Street. This is a laid-back venue for those who are hard to impress. Just remember, at the weekends, you must impress the door staff if you want to gain entry.

This venue is less a bar and more of an institution situated in the landmark Empire Hotel. Your granny danced there back in the 60s but don’t let that put you off. This is a place that continually reinvents itself, building on its success to entertain every generation.

It’s been going on for generations and shows no sign of slowing down!

9) BLACKBIRD

Decorated with a fun and sexy Gatsby-esque, 1920’s Prohibition-era vibe, the Blackbird is one of the best bars in Brisbane, a great place for a nice meal and an even better place to seek your next one-and-only. With outstanding food on one level, the Blackbird gives you the opportunity to come back for a real date. The restaurant and bar areas are split, giving you the best of both worlds. Be sure to check out the patio – its views of the Brisbane River and Story Bridge are about as romantic as it gets, especially at night, and the patio is stocked with comfortable chairs so you can really get comfortable. Blackbird isn’t a budget choice, but once you taste the food, the drinks and get a glimpse of the view, you won’t miss the extra cash!
