Overview
Whiskey fiends of Brisbane, it's time to add another spot to your citywide bar crawl. Blind Tiger is about to open its doors in Bulimba, not only gifting the riverside suburb with the quaint and quirky speakeasy-style establishment it has always needed, but also treating liquor fans to their favourite beverage thanks to its focus on amber-coloured spirits.
Of course, the finest distilled, fermented grain mash-derived alcoholic tipples from around the world aren't the only thing on the Oxford Street dive bar's drinks menu — although there'll be plenty on offer in keeping with the Prohibition theme, don't worry. Its sugarcane-focused counterpart, aka rum, will also feature. So will six taps pouring out tasty, foamy beer, plus a range of boilermakers and a cocktail menu.
That's not bad for a tiny space that you could easily fill with two dozen of your closest friends — and with Brisbane bartender Jesse Stowers helping Blind Tiger come up with their complete beverage list, and owner Robert Harding also behind neighbouring men's-only grooming palace The Moustachery Barbery, there's certain to be plenty more goodness in store.
For those after a bite to eat with their refreshments, that includes cheeseboards, charcuterie plates, nachos and sliders, all served up amidst an eccentric, antiques-meets-log cabin-style of decor.
Find Blind Tiger at 1b/204 Oxford Street, Bulimba from April 29, or check out their Facebook page for more information.
