The Mermaid Lounge is a little grotto of sea-faring fantasy tucked away in an upstairs gallery of Lefty’s Music Hall
Jolly Roger is Fortitude Valley's pirate punk bar specializing in rum, craft beer, loud music and vintage cartoons
Barbossa Bar & Bottle Shop is shaking up Caribbean-inspired cocktails and cooking up island-vibed tapas
