Whisky: Buffalo Bar

WHISK(E)Y TALK

Blazing with American rockabilly soul, especially during its many live music nights, Buffalo Bar quenches the thirst of Brisbane locals with its extensive list of unique whiskeys and specialty cocktails. Here, there is a complete commitment to the American experience, with the food, drink, ambience, music and events all ostensibly embodying the US in one way or another. This intoxicating allure takes customers on a journey through the charm of the southern states, bravado of New York and cool of California, providing an extremely gratifying experience for everyone who frequents it.

Of course, the drinks are largely American-influenced too, with 12 brands of beer by the bottle and 14 options on tap, plus 40 varieties of American whiskey – ranging from $8.50 to $45 – to choose from. Or try a whiskey-based cocktail, like the American Pie (Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey, Sailor Jerry, butterscotch, vanilla, apple), Bacon Old Fashion (Bacon-infused Buffalo Trace Bourbon, maple, orange bitters, crispy bacon), or the slightly more subtle Tennessee Peach Iced Tea (Peach-infused Buffalo Trace Bourbon, iced tea, passionfruit, lemon juice, lemon myrtle). 

FOR EATIN’

Executive chef Adam Herbert maintains the authenticity of American food while using as much local produce as possible, with wings (12 different kinds!), hoagies, poppers, cornbread and other American classics complementing the US-inspired drinks being served up.
