The Fringe Bar

Fringe Bar is a magnet for Brisbane's chi-chi party set, offering up funky DJ beats and tempting cocktails. In days gone by, the now-hot Fringe Bar was once known as The Dead Rat, and it was - needless to say - not so hot. However a total metamorphosis has seen it emerge as a flashy, revamped destination, combining chic contemporary decor with some of the venue's more striking original fixtures, such as antique granite flooring. During the working week, Fringe is a mecca for nine-to-fivers who want to blow off some office steam over well-priced bar meals and a broad selection of tap beer.
