Dutch Courage: Gin Bar & Restaurant

Dutch Courage | Brisbane: Gin bar, restaurant & function venue

Queensland's first gin bar & restaurant

Hold on to your pith helmets comrades, and be transported back to a period in history when the gin & tonic was invented, when explorers of new frontiers would face adventure with a sense of humour, where formality during the day gave way to carefree partying and socialising at night, and campaign tents and mess halls were the place to be.

Welcome to Dutch Courage, a plantation-style gin bar, restaurant & function venue where good drinks and good times are celebrated.

Set over two storeys, DC's lower level is kitted out with vintage campaign furniture, hessian curtains and authentic safari touches. Here, the Main Bar offers an innovative cocktail menu and boasts an impressive 200+ strong spirit collection, including over 140 gins, craft beer on tap, wine & champagne. Upstairs is our mezzanine level, complete with its own dedicated bar and ideal for intimate dining or function bookings.

DINING
On the plantation-inspired mezzanine is our restaurant where head chef Killian Azri has created a contemporary spice-forward menu using fresh local produce. Dishes include favourites such as lamb cigars, sticky pork & roast cauliflower.

All dishes are shareable, including our popular chef selection banquets, so we invite you to relax & enjoy the experience with your friends and family. Our experienced floor & bar staff are on hand if you need help selecting a dish or if you'd like to pair a gin, cocktail or glass of wine with your meal.
