Can You Keep A Secret? opens retro bar
Step inside Can You Keep A Secret? in Woolloongabba to discover a homely retro-themed craft beer and wine bar bursting with character.
Can You Keep A Secret? began its life as a vintage treasure chest in Greenslopes. Following a move to Stanley Street in Woolloongabba, the venue is still overflowing with vintage knick-knacks and kitsch curios, but now the clothing and records have been swapped for liquor. It was a busy few months of renovations for owners Ajanta Willert and Emily Moss, but at last the new bar has peeled open the doors, revealing a whimsical space of inter-leading rooms and eclectic furnishings. It feels as though you’re stepping into a friend’s home, albeit one who’s stayed incredibly loyal to yesteryear. Think cosy couches, intricate lampshades, a big old TV set and even a Secret Garden complete with astroturf. Jesus may also make an appearance.
Once you’ve found the perfect room in which to settle your tush, sate your thirst with a pick from the predominantly Australian selection of craft beers, wines and spirits. It’s mainly drinks-only on the menu here, with the exception of a sneaky cheese platter, but guests are welcome to BYO their meal of choice – the most convenient option being Vespa Pizza next door. Keep watch on the venue’s Facebook page for updates on the vintage boutique due to open next door in the near future.
