You have to come here on a clear evening to view the sunset and watch the city go from day to night. It's not to be missed! The craft cocktails are top notch and well made. The bartenders are skilled and even happy to educate you on the nuances of the drink you've ordered. Are they expensive? Of course, but you get what you pay for in this instance. Perfect spot for a date or just a regular Wednesday evening with a friend. You really can't beat it. The lounges are available for a fee, but grabbing a spot on the rail is perfect as that really is the best view. I haven't had any of the food/tapas, but as I'm a big fan of craft cocktails, this is one bright shining star on my list! read more

Are you middle aged, pretentious and in need of a new location to show off your Tommy Hilfiger cardigan draped casually over your RL Polo covered shoulders? Then go to Eleven on a Thursday night after work - you'll fit right in. Want to sit in a booth? Too bad, they're all "reserved". There's nobody in them, of course, but how else would you know how lacking in elitism you are by being forced to perch on a much-less-glamorous stool? Enjoy trendy, tasty cocktails? Cool! Eleven serve a limited smattering of "predictable" cocktails at upmarket prices, with "local pub quality" garnishes and presentation. Think a $17.00 "dark and stormy" as one of their highlighted menu features, and you'll understand. There's also bar food but good luck beating away the middle aged socialites lingering at the bar to chat so as to order some! Oh and you can forget eating it from your perch on the stool! That's for plebs and people who don't own high street brands, like Tommy and Ralph. Ugh! read more

Eleven Rooftop Bar - The drinks might leave a little to be desired, but the view is pretty good. You can derive sustenance from a view, right? - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Fortitude Valley, QLD

11 stories high. 270 degree views of the Brisbane skyline. If a sophisticated rooftop bar experience is what you seek, then Eleven Rooftop Bar may just provide what you are looking for. From bar-style seats with an Eames-vibe, to booth dining there's a space for the laid-back after work drink to a group dinner with a stunning backdrop. As well as a comprehensive drinks menu, Eleven (brought to us by the same folks behind Jetty) offer a casual dining menu from bar snacks (up your snack game and go for the oyster gin & juice half dozen) through to more substantial offerings such as beef cheeks and mash. While you can't order food at the bar, there are roaming wait staff happy to take both your food and drink orders from where you sit. And having been twice now I'd say a visit earlier in the week is best for enjoying this magnificent venue in a more relaxed manner. By the end of the week it's showing just how well it can hold 250 people and for those in for a more dialed down experience you might find yourself feeling slightly claustrophobic. To save disappointment make a reservation for group dinners! If you're out to impress or just want a whole new perspective on our city this is the bar to do it! Pro Tip: There's a $20 minimum for EFTPOS. read more

Eleven rooftop bar offers amazing views of the city perched way up high on the 11 floor. There are two bars on the eastern and western sides linked by table seating running along the Ann St side. Good vibe with soft lighting, good music loud but not too loud providing a great bar/lounge atmosphere. Food available with a good selection of drink (Newstead Amber on tap) although don't expect 20 or more craft beers on tap like most of the new bars in town. The only downside of this bar was the lack of toilets (only one male, three female plus the one disabled) for somewhere that can take up to 250 people. This is thanks to the city council according to the owner. All in all a great addition to the Valley scene only two to three blocks down from The Beat! read more

Hosted a happy hour here for about 20 people and it was the perfect setup. We took a corner section that had two large square tables with couches wrapping around them, allowed for clients to move around and stand up when needed. The cocktails were incredible and the food was delicious! Our server was amazing and made sure we had everything we needed. The views were spectacular as well and watching the sunset over the city was gorgeous! Hope to come back on our next visit to Brisbane! read more

I had my 30th here on a Sunday afternoon and had a booth booked! It was great! I love the food/tapas and the drinks... You simply can't beat the ambiance, and the views. Definitely one of my favorite places in Brisbane. It's classy and open. Only downfall is (on every occasion I've been, 5 times now) SOME of the bar staff (two guys in particular) are always so grouchy and they can give off a SUPER BAD energy... Like they're too good for you (which we never want from bar staff, well because it means you won't order from them and may feel like going elsewhere). Hopefully ALL the staff can remember their energy contributes to the competitiveness of the bar, and strive to bring GOOD vibes not MEAN ones! read more

Fairly crowded for a friday night, still managed to get a spot for myself and a few expensive clients I was entertaining, they were pleased with the quick bottle service, but no so much about some of the staffs attitude because of the language barriers. read more

I was beyond determined to get into Eleven as a lot of my friends have been denied entry for being "too casual" or "too slutty" so of course, I wanted to be the friend that got in. My ambition worked well. A few friends and I arrived last night around 10 PM, the bouncer lingered on my ID the longest, rumour has it that they only want 25+ year olds...I wouldn't want any of the 18 year old girls I've seen limping drunkly around the valley on a weekend anywhere close to a roof either. Anyway, I'm 22 and my friends are all over 25, we decided that they would show their IDs first and id be last. Whether age really determines your entry or not at Eleven, it worked. Enjoy the ride up the fancy elevator. Girls, don't let the mirrored walls and ceilings in there get ya down, just don't look at them. Seriously. The view is fantastic, a full 360 of Brisbane. The patrons? Men going through their midlife crisis, Cougars galore, and the 20+ year olds like us that want to play dress up for the night, if only for bragging rights. The drinks aren't overly expensive, a friend bought 3 drinks for us totalling to $36. Eleven isn't where you go for fun and dance, but maybe a date or just a few quiet cocktails with your friends. I'd love to return for a lunch one day, I'm guessing the view will be even more spectacular. read more

Lovely venue, the food was tastey and our waitress attentive. However, the food took over 45min to come out and didn't come out altogether, leaving one of our party waiting for another 5 or so minutes. As the mains took so long there was no time for dessert or coffee as the next booking was due. Overall a nice experience however the kitchen needs to be a little more efficient. read more

Ambience great. Ordered lamb for two which was told was not in need of any sides as it was substantial. .and it was ..except no bed of veges..just cous cous..spelling?? When complained nicely about misinformation met with a snide condescending pretty Miss Muffet.. also gravy came in a thimble sized jug.. need another 4 really.... extra mash took nearly half an hour to come after she said she woulf get it right away...condescending snide and i did not trust the eztra mash or gravy ehen it eventually came out.. but the massive chunks of neat were long cold...terrible FU attitude. .won't eat there again..had dessert elsewhere.. nice view..tho.and nice drinks But i can make a 10times better meak myself at home in 15 minutes without the disgraceful attitude read more

Beautiful views and a great range of spirits! Sophisticated feel, good for after work drinks or a small group. Booths are also offered for those wanting to dine in. But the views are the draw card for this bar! read more

I really like this place. I actually came here with a few friends from Melbourne while they were up. The atmosphere was wicked, the place is packed but the view makes it all worth it. The thing I like a lot about Eleven Rooftop Bar is that they prefer people who have booked, they're super strict with dress code and if they smell any more than standard intoxication they won't let you through the doors to get into the building. Essentially you have to get past 2 security guards to get into the building and then you take the lifts to the rooftop. I like the fact they are "strict" because the crowd you get is not going to create some brawl for no reason. We went on a Friday and it was packed with business men in suits but I'm sure this would be different on a Saturday night. Eleven also does proper meals, though for the price and general quality I'd say eat somewhere else. It's expensive and "gourmet" but for what you get I'd say it would be worth eating somewhere else first. I'd come here for the usual drinks and scenic view. It's just nice looking from a rooftop over the valley/city. It's something different that we don't get a lot of in Brisbane. But I would like to say it would awesome if there were some true rooftop bars in the inner city - the view would be wicked then. read more

Great views. Fun cocktails. Good music. Good vibe. A little overpriced because you're helping to pay for the location.

Outstanding! finally something in Brisbane that has international standards! well done and food was great! read more

Eleven has a great atmosphere- clean, cool, private, yet alive. The views and decor are fabulous. The food menu offers a lot of variety and interesting options. I had a wagyu burger- which was really good. The drinks list is extensive and you can order your negroni in a myriad of ways- just like your martini. Very cool and relaxed. Great for a mid week date. read more

Everything was "okay" in general. The calamari was excellent, but the the fillet was a little cold and the pappardelle slightly overlooked (dessert menu was quite limited and we didn't order anything). In general middle of the road and you're more here for the view than the food. read more

Quite honestly the WORST customer service experience I've ever had. I made the mistake of complaining about the quality of my first drink and was subsequently 'punished' when I tried to purchase a second later on. My punishment was delivered by serving several people who arrived at the bar after me before me. Now the first time I could put down to confusion (and other people forgetting their manners and pushing in). The place was busy. When it happened the second time I spoke up and mentioned this customer had been lining up behind me and that I'd been waiting for some time. The bar tender laughed and ignored me again. When he finally took my order he also took another ladies order - no worries, multitaskings ok - but finished serving her drinks, taking payment, giving change and still hadn't finished making mine. He then took another order. I'd asked for a cocktail initially too and was told 'we're not doing cocktails', then noticed several patrons enjoying their cocktails. I couldn't have been made to feel more insignificant, invisible, humiliated or embarrassed. Certainly spoilt for me what was supposed to be a nice night out with the girls. It might be called 11, but I'd barely give it a 1. A bar tender who rivaled the soup nazzi! read more
