Located along James Street in Fortitude Valley, Cru Bar and Cellar is a name instantly suggestive of sophistication and good times. Simultaneously acting as a restaurant and bar, this beautiful establishment has an interior matched by hardly any other. Warm colours, plush cushions, wood furnishings and of course, the pièce de résistance, the crystal chandelier create the ambience.
Why not sit back and enjoy a well-cooked meal, or make an order from the extensive list of premium wines and cocktails? The cuisine is Modern Australian, so expect plenty of seafood and lamb focused mains. If you are an early riser, pop in for breakfast and order the delicious omelettes with avocados on the side. There are also share plates which are great for that romantic dinner for two.
Cru Bar and Cellar is the perfect place for all sorts of occasions, however due to its popularity, it is best to book ahead, so you do not miss out.
From a perch at the marble bar, check out the well-stocked wine cellar or catch a glimpse of trendy James St for some people-watching. Enjoy a slice of sophistication and tasty cocktails either from the bar or on couches and ottomans scattered throughout the indoor-outdoor space. Dressing up is recommended: most men are in suits although the atmosphere is quite chilled. Music is subtle – you can drink and chat and still feel like you’re partying.
