Butler Wine Bar

BUTLER WINE BAR HAS CLOSED IN MARCH 2023.

Butler Wine Bar is an intimate, 30-seat wine bar, located at the end of Fish Lane on Manning Street in South Brisbane. 

Found on the ground level of The Standard residential building, beside its sibling Lune Croissanterie, the moodily-lit drinking den provides seating at the long bar that runs the length of the tiny establishment, plus banquette seating for 8 tucked away at the back, and al fresco seating out front in a circular garden.  

The bar boasts an extensive selection of carefully curated wine from Australia (unusual varietals produced by boutique Australian and Queensland producers in particular) as well as premium drops from European wine regions, served along with craft beers and delectable cocktails including a classic Negroni, Miso Caramel Old Fashioned, Pumpkin Highball, and Butler Spritz (Aperol, strawberry shrub, Prosecco and soda). 

The concise food menu* consists of snacks and share plates - think marinated olives, fresh oysters, chicken liver parfait with crostini, prawn tartare with macadamia cream, and pork belly with gochujang (chilli paste) and puffed buckwheat. 

*The menu is subject to change on the day.
