Bar Mesopotamia
Milton
True to its name, Bar Mesopotamia in Milton is like stumbling across an ancient bar that has been unearthed and transformed into one of Brisbane's most ambient bars.
Step inside the entrance, which is opposite Suncorp Stadium, to another world of ancient maps, rough stone and concrete floors, exposed timber beam ceilings and rustic handmade and vintage furniture.
Adding to the atmosphere are all sorts of cosy nooks and crannies, featuring Chesterfield armchairs and lounges, a chaise longue, globe, candelabras, Turkish rugs, gilt framed mirrors, leather ottomans, tea chests, lanterns and plants.
In the window there's a cosy lounge area and running along one side is a massive antique pressed metal-sided bar, whilst on the other is a mezzanine platform with more seating.
Whilst Bar Mesopotamia doesn't serve food, the impressive drinks list is well worth sticking around for. On the cocktail menu, signatures include Garden of Babylon (gin, lemon, apple juice, sugar syrup and mint); and Mesopotamia Spritz (limincello, prosecco & soda water) alongside classics like Aperol Spritz, Espresso Martini, Ameretto Sour & Classic Margarita.
A curated list of boutique wines, the majority of which are available by the glass (150ml or 250ml) or bottle, come from the best wine growing regions of Australia as well as Italy, France and Germany.
As for beers, there's a wide choice of Australian craft beers, including Blackflag Afiinity Pale Ale. Mountain Culture Cult IPA;, Hakers Stout, Moffat Beach Trilogy West Coast IPA; locals Slipstream Fruit Cart Sour and Helios Brewing Seedless Watermelon, Rosella & Mulberry Gose as well as standards like Corona Extra, XXXX Gold and Heineken.
