Brooklyn Standard

I was really impressed by the hidden vibe of this place, the entrance is marked only by a neon “BAR” sign, and once you step inside, you discover a secret, amazing bar. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. If you enjoy good music, great drinks, and a fun, friendly atmosphere, I highly recommend Brooklyn Standard. I would definitely come back again next time I visit Brisbane! :)

Had a really good time here! The staff and the band were really good. 10/10 would recommend ❤️‍🔥 serving up some groovy choons and good drinks!

The music and entertainment were absolutely fantastic — truly top-notch and exactly what I came for. Unfortunately, the entire experience was overshadowed by the incredibly rude and unprofessional behaviour of the door staff, particularly the female individual who was incredibly rude. It's disappointing when one person's attitude can ruin an otherwise great night. Management should seriously consider better training or staffing, because no one should be treated the way we were. A real shame.

Very good bar with live music, different drinks option and good location in Brisbane center.

I really enjoyed the vibe tonight! I requested a cocktail flight and some of the famous free pretzels. The service from my host was cool and unhurried, checking in without hovering. The drinks list was extensive and well-curated, from Brooklyn Lager to Chicago root beer, and everything tasted crisp and true to style. Great night had.

I left a really nice jacket there just before it closed. I'm sure it would have by found cleaners or whoever but after 15 attempts at calling, leaving msgs and an email with no response I gave up. Don't leave anything here they don't care and you'll never see it again. Slack management right there. After 100s spent at the bar a return email after 3 weeks isn't too much to ask for.

Last I visited Brooklyn Standard was in 2014 - the very year this funky little basement dive opened its doors. Ten years on, I was pleased to see it’s still the same New York-inspired haunt, pulsing with live music every single night, every genre imaginable crammed into a small, wild space. A quick trip down the stairs, and you’re plunged into a cosy room that’s part jazz den, part late-night hideaway. There’s seating, but on a Saturday night it’s a rare commodity, and don’t expect quiet conversations - this is a place for the music, for dancing, for letting go. The dance area? A churning crowd, bodies pressing close, and you’ll lose track of how many times your toes get stepped on as people surge toward the stage. But it’s the crowd that’s the real thrill - a beautiful mess of humanity thrown together; mums and dads off the leash for a night, wide-eyed travelers, hipsters, rockers, uni students, NRL stars, grizzled old barflies, and slick city suits, all losing themselves in the music and the moment. It’s electric, chaotic, and strangely perfect. One night here, and you’ll know why it’s a Brisbane staple.

First time in Brisbane and Australia. And that’s my favorite place here! Nice music, good beer and chill vibe. Trying to be here next time visiting Brisbane!
