Before + After is a cosy laneway cocktail bar tucked below street level at 181 George St, Brisbane City, known for its relaxed vibe and thoughtful drinks menu that leans into amaro and classic cocktails.  We went for a few cocktails — the bartenders were friendly and happy to chat through options and recommendations, and drinks were well made …

Loved our visit to Before and After! Riley was so attentive and thoughtful in his explanation of the cocktails and the Amaros available. He was super welcoming and easy to talk with! He even made some great resturant recommendations! I highly recommend checking out Before and After.

Highly recommend! A cozy bar with a good variety of beverages and drinks and a great surprise for your friends! We tried the Sazerac which was beautiful. They have nibbles to have on the side. Our friends didn't know where we were going so we just guided them through when we got there the supprize on their faces was priceless.

Skilled barman, friendly and attentive. Visited after dinner during the Xmas break, to finish the night with a couple of drinks. Find the entrance at the back of an alley. If you know Amaro, they have various options to ease your thirst. If you want to go on a discovery, talk to the barman, they will happily offer suggestions (from …

Rolled in here early evening before Christmas with the wife. We were looking for somewhere to have a quiet drink before heading to dinner. Hard to find but go down the lane way, turn left and the door on the left. Its just like a Seattle Uni Sector find. Felt out of place going in but made to feel welcome …
