New bar Capulet opens in Fortitude Valley
The space formerly inhabited by Alloneword has undergone an extensive refurbishment and at last the doors have swung open to reveal Capulet – a glamorous bar where fashion, liquor and music combine.
Capulet officially launched amid much hype on Wednesday night, offering a sophisticated cocktail lounge on Brunswick Street. The refurbished space features ambient velvet booths inside and a whimsical fairy-lit space outside. Two bars serve themed cocktails like the Romeo, Juliet or Verona’s Kiss – complete with 24-carat gold dust garnish – as well as craft ciders and beers from labels such as 4 Pines and Stone & Wood.
Sitting sleek on Brunswick Street, the rear courtyard looks every bit a children’s storybook, with white picket fences and gazebos nestled in astroturf. Eclectic music ranging from 1970s classics to contemporary tunes plays on the speakers, with the club also featuring big-name DJs. Capulet co-owner and director of Sass Management Leigh Metzeling brings a fashion focus to the venue, launching weekly Fashion Friday events at which local designers can showcase their wares.
