This unique concept first made waves in Melbourne 11 years ago, blending a cocktail bar with a pawn shop, offering a space filled with eclectic curiosities and rare finds. Now, co-founders Josh Lefers and Stephen Wools are bringing this one-of-a-kind venue to Brisbane, taking over the iconic site of the former Laruche Bar and Supper Club. The venue retains some beloved elements of Laruche, like the vaulted beehive ceiling, while introducing new features that promise to captivate guests.

A world-first in-house perfumery, where guests can craft their own signature scents. This innovative blend of retail and hospitality ensures that every visit is an adventure, with each cocktail, curiosity, and perfume telling a unique story.
