    We organised our daughters surprise party at this venue. It was nothing short of fabulous. The decor, the relaxed atmosphere, and wonderful staff made the night sensational. I have verbally recommended this venue, now more than happy to share our satisfaction. The party was in December last year, what a great night was had by all.

    What a brilliant spot! Top Notch live music, super kind stuff, beautifully designed, cosy, and warm welcoming urban jazz club vibes. 5 starts is not enough

    What a nice little surprise in Brisbane. Quiet, Quaint and delightful. We sat out the back in the lounge area, which was very cool. A blast from the past. Live music is play on the weekend. Large selection of bottle beers and cocktails. Also has a vintage shop with lots and lots of old in day goodies.

    Such lovely and attentive staff that make you feel welcome. The decor and atmosphere was great, I would definitely recommend this venue for parties, after dinner drinks and catching up with friends. They do not serve food, but allowed our large group to order food into the venue which was accomodating of them.

    A very cool little bar off the beaten track. Went on a week night when there weren't any events on and it was perfect for a nice hang out. Great cocktails and the shop has some excellent clothes and accessories for very fair prices. Staff were delightful and you can BYO food. Definitely worth going back again.

    Small bar, great vibe. Apparently fresh bands all the time, but seems to be great quality every time I've been. Cool retro decor and nice peeps. Also check out their other spot, It's Still A Secret - similar great approach, VERY similar name (which may lead to confusion).

    Was at CYKAS last night before heading to Princess Theatre for a show. Wanted to thank the bartender who managed what was probably a busier night than anticipated. Appeared to be just 1 person on the bar and they were efficient and friendly. Enjoyed the vibe of the place as well.

  • 5/5 Kate F. 9 months ago on Google
    Wonderful little place with lots of nooks to sit and enjoy the drinks (good wine list) and great value cheese board

  • 5/5 Holly G. 1 year ago on Google
    Really unique vibes! Love that the bar has a little thrift shop attached. Love the cocktail range and the live jazz was fab! Definitely go on a night they have live music.

    Saw View to Madeleine's couch. Great service and atmosphere.

  • 5/5 Ceili 1 year ago on Google
    Small, hole in the wall bar next door to a vintage shop, with fantastic vibes. Two separate "lounge room" inspired rooms towards the back. The bar area can get squashed when a bands playing but that is the vibe so it works really well. Good selection of cocktails and live music. Kind helpful staff that are always upbeat and kind. Toilets are towards the back and are very clean. Lots of fun things to look at and interesting vintage style.

    Great venue, but nasty pair of women who were working there. Wouldn’t come back again. Hire some better staff.

  • 5/5 Jeremy S. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome fun and frivolity at this very cool cocktail bar. For the Melbourne-ites venturing up north, this bar has a real Fitzroy feel. You won’t be disappointed

  • 5/5 J. V. 2 years ago on Google
    My favourite venue in Brisbane, best Amaretto sours…. top tier musicians.. the owner is lovely!! The vibe out back is like an Acidic loungeroom steeped in 1974…

  • 5/5 Sizu H. 6 years ago on Google
    Small, cosy vintage bar, with good selection of beers and spirits. Live music, makes it more appealing. Great mix of art & music. Finding a park can be a challenge at times.

😠 Food & Cocktails were absolutely amazing, however, the lack of service forgetting a soft drink for one of the children at our table, and then forgetting a burger for one of the adults, is unforgivable. When the wait staff told the chef that a burger was missing, he shrugged his shoulders and contin...
