About Dutch Courage

 

Queensland’s first gin bar

Hold on to your pith helmets comrades, and be transported back to a period in history when the gin & tonic was invented, when explorers of new frontiers would face adventure with a sense of humour, where formality during the day gave way to carefree partying and socialising at night, and campaign tents and mess halls were the place to be.

Welcome to Dutch Courage, a plantation-style gin bar & function venue where good drinks and good times are celebrated.

Set over two storeys, DC’s lower level is kitted out with vintage campaign furniture, hessian curtains and authentic safari touches. Here, the Main Bar offers an innovative cocktail menu and boasts an impressive spirit collection, including over 140 gins, craft beer on tap, wine & champagne. Upstairs is our mezzanine level, complete with its own dedicated bar and ideal for function bookings.

DRINKING

When it comes to good drinks, we are all about adventure, exploration, experimentation and fun. And as Queensland’s first gin bar and three times nominated as Australian Gin Bar of the Year (2017, 2018, 2021), our staff also know their stuff.

Our menu of over 140 gins is sure to turn heads and get tongues wagging. Get ready to embark on a journey of discovery across the flavour spectrum with gins made from the likes of finger lime, mango, blueberries & pink pepper! We also have an impressive house cocktail list, plus a range of wines and craft beers so there’s something for you, no matter your mood.
