The Gresham Bar Brisbane review
Stepping into The Gresham in Brisbane is like standing in the peanut butter aisle in a U.S. supermarket– a whole other world of variety opens up to you.

Much as I love both The Gresham and peanut butter, the similarities  perhaps stop here.

The Gresham is an old world bar steeped in heritage which is something very, very, very difficult to find in Brisbane. It boasts the only Heritage Bar License in Queensland, meaning that you know you’re in for an architectural treat with your after work drink.

So what’s on offer at this bar? Let’s take a look.

If you fancy yourself a bit of a whiskey, gin, rum or other fine liquor connoisseur, The Gresham is the place to be. The brands and types of spirits on offer is second to none with a high quality range that makes choosing your poison very difficult indeed. Luckily the friendly and knowledgeable bar staff are on hand to help you navigate your way through the finer points of the drinks menu.

We ended up having a bit of a gin and tonic taste-off the other night here with different gins, which turned out to be a fantastic way to spend an evening.

Below we rounded off the night with an Ardbeg Uigeadail, which I have not seen in another Brisbane bar. This Scotch Whiskey was maxed out with peat and smoky flavours, and also had lovely wooden notes mixed with the taste of coffee beans. It was a big whiskey and we were pretty excited to finally find a place we could try it.  

If a cocktail is more your thing, The Gresham has plenty on offer including the Midnight Rambler (Gin, Lavender, Blueberry, Vermouth, Lemon, Bitters), Strong Arm (Rye, Apricot, Almond, Vermouth, Orange, Bitters) and Love and Squalor (Bourbon, Vermouth, PX Sherry, Picon, Chocolate, Burnt Bitters). There are also boutique beers and ciders, and international wines on offer too.

The floor to ceiling shelves of alcohol with wooden ladders behind the bar embraces the historical nature of this place and lets you know that pretty much any drink is on offer here.   

For an evening out in style, The Gresham is a winner in terms of drinks, ambiance and service.

You get more than crunchy and smooth options here.
