👍👍 A great little nook tucked in Fish lane. Wicked cocktail menu (especially their ‘bespoke’ cocktail- they will construct something based off…. Whatever you tell them!) Great vibe, awesome staff and enough space to feel comfortable. Highly recommended 🍸 🍹 People often mention cocktails, staff, cocktail, drinks, great, Brisbane, Great, time, friendly,

    This place is a find... around the corner from the art gallery, this chilled and funky little bar with a selection of cocktails, impressive wines and tasty whisky is just awesome! Sit, watch the world go bet, enjoy amazing wine and chat to the very cool and informed bar staff, and chat! The bar staff asked us ‘what do you feel like eating and we can make a recommendation... so when you are ready, ask away...’ Do not miss this plaice... one of Brisbane’s best! Love it!!!

    What a delightful gem of a place! It is very small and easy to miss because there is a lack of signage-thanks Google for finding it. It was very busy when 3 of us found it but the lovely staff squeezed us in. The imaginative cocktails were lovingly made ( you can also get the regular ones too) by happy, competent staff. We were well looked after. Highly recommend a visit.

    Cute little cocktail bar in South Brisbane. Initially there were no seats or standing position so came back after dinner and got seated at the bar easily. Prompt and friendly bar staff and very interesting cocktails. Unconventional but very enjoyable. Worth checking out.

    Fun and very interactive staff. Always keen to help finding the best drinks for our visit. Wife's special cocktail is only made here and it is the best.

    It’s always a pleasure to visit. The bartenders are personable and delightful - Ellery and Blade are a great team. Highly recommended as a place to catch up with a friend over a quiet drink.

    Gorgeous venue, energy and hospitality. The drinks are good quality and perfectly balanced. Felt cosy, cared for and comfortable. New favourite in Brisbane🥂

    Really nice and cozy cocktail bar. Doesn’t go with a super long list, but what they offer is top quality. All 3 cocktails I tried were great and you could see they offer a high level variety of wines too. Only downside was that the table we were seated at was covered in some sort of black powder (charcoal) and being dark tables we didn’t know till we were immediately covered in it. Was near impossible to get off, unfortunately causing clothing stains. It was acknowledged by the staff member and they gave us some soda water and paper towel to try and wash it off our hands.

    Amazing cocktails! Had the vodka, hybiscus and the Whisky passionfruit and they were delicious!! The staff were friendly and great for a chat. would definitely recommend as a nice little bar to pass the time meeting people, having a nice chat and enjoy some great drinks.

    Amazing bar food. The butter is to die for. Amazing lager too. Super friendly staff. Love it! Will be back.

  • 5/5 Cara H. 10 months ago on Google
    A quaint and lovely atmosphere, with a well thought out menu both for drinks and food. I had the 'ham and pineapple' toastie with skin contact wine, lovely and balanced for an easy evening out. Staff are knowledgeable.

  • 4/5 Scott M. 1 year ago on Google
    An intimate venue, fantastic drinks and staff who have exquisite attention to detail make Maker my new favourite drinks spot in Brisbane. So why the 4 stars? Well because if this place gets too popular (and with only room for approximately 15 people) I will never get a spot.

    Best “hole in the wall” find I’ve stumbled upon in a long time. Felt like I was transported back to London laneway .. Cocktails and sourdough cheesies artfully done. Well done guys!

  • 5/5 Keely 2 years ago on Google
    Awesome! Beautiful atmosphere, neat hidden gem in Brisbane. Great customer service, nice lighting and awesome drinks. Cocktails are pricey but very well worth it. Thanks guys, I will be back!

  • 5/5 Rach C. 2 years ago on Google
    Such a cool bar. Good vibes, atmosphere and bartender. Definitely have to come back to try a toastie 😍

    Cosy little bar tucked away on Fish Lane. Hard to get a table, as it really is small, but well worth it to have a cocktail or two. It feels classy, and cocktails are made with high quality ingredients.

  • 5/5 Guo Hong L. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely hold up to it's name to be one of the top 10 bars! Friendly and they accepted cash! Great for tourist like myself! Food and drinks were wonderful and lovely!

  • 5/5 Sarah W. 1 year ago on Google
    Don't miss out on this bar! I wish I could leave Maker 10 stars. There's a rotating list of cocktails, nothing too overwhelming while providing something for all tastes. The cocktails are AMAZING - made with quality ingredients and well crafted. Staff is very friendly, the ambiance is perfect and you will not find a better cocktail elsewhere. This is definitely one of the top small bars in Brisbane!

  • 5/5 Fonthip W. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice cocktails. Staffs are very friendly. 😊

  • 5/5 Sarah S. 3 years ago on Google
    These cocktails will not disappoint! Staff are helpful, friendly, knowledgeable and will guide you to a cocktail you are sure to enjoy. We also enjoyed a platter. You won't regret a trip to Maker. Very small venue, we arrived at opening time and it filled up within 30 minutes, not sure what its like getting a spot later in the evening.

    Recommended this hidden gem bar in fish lane you will love the cocktail and vibe there.

  • 5/5 Simon P. 2 years ago on Google
    Great cocktails and ambience. 3rd time visiting and arguably the best service staff in Brisbane. First time loved jt next two visits were exactly the same, yet somehow better. If you want great cocktails and to feel like a champion and enjoy being awesome then this is the place for you. Absolutely the best staff etiquette, to all patrons, will be returning.

    Tiny hole in the wall in fish lane with a cool vibe, nice cheese and a great place to polish off a few wines, will definitely be back
