Stopping by Fish Lane's newest bar, Maker, the sibling venue of Gauge, is one sexy intimate…read moreexperience.We almost don't want to share this bar with the rest of Brisbane, as it's small confines (max 25-30 people), & personable
bar tenders, make it feel as if it's a secret that should be guarded.The ambience is relaxed & chilled, with a soundtrack to match,
much like the conversations.
It's such a beautiful space, from the 7.5m brass bar, custom glazed porcelain lights, back lit shelves, &
a charcuterie cabinet at the end of the bar (which will form the basis for a very simple menu in the coming weeks).
Maker's menu has a strong focus on Australian wines, beer, and spirits; with the sophisticated cocktail menu an adventurous interplay of flavours,like nothing you'll find anywhere else in Brisbane.Prepared with flair, artistry, & unique techniques, having a cocktail at Maker is a feast
for the senses.
Try the "Whisky Wax Coffee", a combination of Whisky, coffee, beeswax, pollen, macadmia ($22), and watch how it's prepared. Served
in artisan glassware with sphere ice-cubes, & some of the famous black garlic bread from Gauge.We also tried the Starward (Australian) whisky
as well as another cocktail not on the menu.It's one of the main benefits of being in such a small bar, that one can have meaningful conversations with the bartender, request a cocktail based on your particular flavours, adding to the overall bespoke experience.
Maker has arrived, and it is a game changer.
