A slice of Tokyo is coming to Brisbane, and a slice of Sydney, too. The Harbour City's Goros is one of its go-to spots if you want to party like you're in Japan without the plane fare, with the izakaya-style bar featuring karaoke, yakitori, sake and Japanese spirits. Come 2025, all of the above will also be on offer in Fortitude Valley, when the watering hole opens up its second venue — and first in Queensland. For its arrival in the River City, Goros is going big. Taking over the space at 6 Warner Street that was previously home to Kickons, the bar will spread over multiple levels and cater to 500 people. And yes, that means that group occasions will be on the menu as well if you need a new spot to celebrate your next birthday, or anything else worth commemorating, with sake bombs, chicken karaage and skewers fresh off the robata grill. Goros' inspiration isn't merely Japan in general or even Tokyo as a whole — it's the latter's street bar culture and nightlife scene. Whether you're keen to pick up a microphone or you'll be happy sipping cocktails while others sing, expect neon lighting aplenty across the venue's decor. There's no exact opening date yet, other than early 2025, but the bar will also boast a dance floor — because karaoke isn't the only way to enjoy tunes here — and host games nights. In Sydney, the food menu includes crispy chicken wings, tuna tacos, Goros fried cauliflower, cheeseburger gyoza, spicy pork and teriyaki chicken on sticks, for starters. Or, patrons can tuck into pork katsu curry, miso barramundi, chicken katsu burgers and a bento box spread for bigger meals, plus Goros fried ice cream with salted caramel and popcorn for dessert. Here's hoping that the bulk of the Harbour City's bites make the jump north. The same goes for the drinks range, which features 25 cocktail options — some house, some classic — alongside seven mocktails, nine sake bombs, two highballs, a decent array of sake served in multiple sizes (90, 200 and 720 millilitres) and Japanese whiskys. Find Goros Brisbane at 6 Warner Street, Fortitude Valley from early 2025 — we'll update you with an exact opening date when one is announced.
