Description
Brooklyn Standard is a lively underground bar located on Eagle Lane in Brisbane’s CBD. Hidden behind a laneway entrance, the venue opens into a moody, New York-inspired basement with exposed brick walls, neon signs, and eclectic décor—from vintage baseball caps to quirky details like pistol-lamp bases and a working 1940s shoe polish machine. With booths, bar seating, and low tables, the space offers an intimate but high-energy setting for late-night drinks and live music.
Renowned as one of Australia’s best live music venues, Brooklyn Standard hosts bands six nights a week, covering everything from funk, soul, jazz, and blues to rockabilly and R&B. Between sets, the energy continues with classic Motown and vinyl tracks spinning in the background. Its top-notch sound system and consistently stellar line-ups have earned it a strong local following and a reputation as a must-visit nightlife spot in Brisbane.
The bar features a wide range of drinks, including American beers like Brooklyn Lager and Sierra Nevada, along with rotating craft taps, spirits, wines, and signature cocktails such as the Zombie and Blackberry Julep. While no food is served, complimentary bowls of pretzels are handed out to keep guests going throughout the night. Whether you're a music lover or just after an atmospheric, upbeat venue, Brooklyn Standard delivers one of Brisbane’s most unique bar experiences.
