Hi strangers! Hi friends! Hi family!
We welcome you all to our own family. A premium fun filled atmosphere where pretentions
are thrown over the balcony as we introduce you to something a little bit different to the
everyday.
We love our industry, we all have fun and we all work hard. We combine all three of these
qualities to keep rebuilding, recreating and remoulding all the things that make us what we are
here at Up. We boast an ever-changing food, cocktail, wine and beer menu and a swirling
back-bar hand-picked with new, unusual and rare spirits from around the world and a
number of staple favourites too, to keep fun flowing.
Paste your eyes to our Facebook page and reap the benefits as you see us progress from a
pretty-wee bird, into a beautiful, sexy swan.
Enjoy...
What’s that? What’s that called? Can I get one of those? That one that she has?
Well, we don’t much like to follow trends at Up, so this year we aim to change our cocktail
menu continuously. Every season exploring old and newfound ingredients to create with..
This being our first menu of the year, we have dabbled in some mild spices, smoke, and some
other luxurious combinations, all with the heart to suit a Brisbane summer. Everyone in the
team had a part to play in creating the menu and we are all proud to have produced a solid
start to our first year together.
All our descriptions are equivocal for a reason. Be curious. Take a chance and try something
new! Listen to the bartenders’ advice and give it a bash.
We pride ourselves on being fabulous and making fabulous happen in a shaker. Have
confidence!
Get a drink, get a seat, get fabulous.
VIOLET ROSE //

Ketel One Citroen turns a stormy shade of purple, with grabbing freshness and uplifting
aromas. Sweet and Sour balanced for utter drinkability. Up’s House Cocktail.
ENGLISH COUNTRY ROAD //

Traditional English flavours shaken together with nods to Tanquery Gin and JJ Whitley
Rhubarb Vodka. Follow your nose down an English country road and ruffle off the dust with
this ‘Jamfastic’ martini.
SMOKEY WALKER & THE BIG RUSTY APPLE //

This sipping adventure is rather moreish. Johnny Walker Double Black and Melbourne Moonshine
Apple Pie create a twist on the already twisted “Nailed in Manhattan”, “A Rusty Nail” and “Manhattan”
combined. Definitely worth a swallow.
JAPANESE BEACH PARTY //
18
Honey soaked Beach House Spiced Rum from Mauritius meets Jinzu Gin for a beach party in
Japan. Lychee and the tingling sensations of lemon, mingle for a spicy, sweet cocktail sensation.
PEAT AT A PICNIC //
The peat-bog whisky monster, Ardbeg 10yr, is slammed into the picnic hamper and forcibly
crushes the blackcurrants and apples into a very-very-tasty-yum-yum and an amazing
quince-like colour. A wonderful combination for lovers of malt and for the beginners. This
creation brings out just enough smoke to entice those virgin whisky drinkers.

IN SEARCH OF JUNIPER //
18
Two gorgeous Australian gins bursting with enthusiasm create a bold, bright and strong flavoured
cocktail. Tasmanian gin Brocken Spectre “Summer Gin” infused with Tasmanian grown Saffron,
itself, a highly unique experience. Swizzled together with Four Pillars “Navy Strength” gin and our
house-made smoked ginger syrup create a belter for those hot summer days and muggy nights.
SUNBURNT MEXICAN //
18
Don Julio is king in this savoury super star. Spiced with Jalapeno and soothed with Aloe Vera
liqueur, this cracker is as fresh and as cooling as a summer storm after a scorching hot day
in Cancun. Topped with Salty Dog and a smidge of rock salt, quenched is how your thirst will feel.
BLOOD SMOKED SUNSET //
18
Easy rider, Pampero Blanco rum freewheels on the back of a smoked ginger syrup and
blood orange liqueur. The colour of a burnt sky as the sun fades deep into the smoky
horizon. Ooh. Romantic.
WHITE LOTUS //
Jinzu Gin returns paired with the crowds favourite Australian sparkling,Chandon. A little lychee
added for a mild pink tinge and a little sweetness. A whole lychee too, in case you get hungry.
Can’t decide? Come see our ever-evolving bar team and we’ll make you an original cocktail,
a one off just for you, or a classy, classic if you prefer. We are limited only by our minds….and
whatever the bar manager has ordered this week. Could be plums, could be a camel.
It’s always a surprise.

The Tomfoolery winemaking philosophy is simple: Small parcels of fruit, hand-crafted through
a simple approach with the aim to truly reflect the individual characteristics of the vineyard
and variety. This particular Sauvignon Blanc has zippy lime and gooseberry, intense minerality
on a fresh, light palate all tied together with a crisp natural acidity on a clean, lingering finish.
VOYAGER CHARDONNAY //
MARGARET RIVER, AUS
Vibrant flavours of citrus fruit, dried pears and some riper tropical notes. The geology of
Voyager Estate is the oldest in Australia and paired with consistent maritime influences and
hints of French Oak combine to add a layer of complexity to the wine which finishes with a
clean mineral edge.
DOMAINE CHANDON PINOT GRIS //
WHITLANDS, AUS
Very pale and crystal clear with green edges. Immediately floral with aromas of rose petal,
lily, apple blossom and nashi pear bouncing from the glass. Richly textured and with
remarkable concentration, the floral and stone fruit characters are reinforced by fine acidity
and length of flavour.
ANDREW THOMAS SIX DEGREES SEMILLION //
HUNTER VALLEY, AUS
Exotic & tropical, this little guy is for those that want something fruity, zippy and sweet.

Southbank Beach.

A favourite among many of us with its vibrant intensity. The characteristically uplifting aromas
of kaffir lime, lemon zest and nectarine, with the floral notes of orange blossomon the nose.

KALLESKE GSM //

“Best value dry red” at the International Wine Competition. The aromatics are amazing.
There is a captivating display of vivid plum, rose florals, candy, spice and blackberry.
Intense pure fruit is the drive of this wine.
GOLDEN GOOSE PINOT NOIR (Organic) //
WAIRARAPA, NZ
From Wairarapa in New Zealand this Pinot Noir is light, red berry smells of cherries and
strawberry. It is certified organic so you can feel happy that you are saving the planet.
TERRAZEZ MALBEC //
MENDOZA, ARG

Intense purplish colour with red shades. Very expressive, revealing a floral and red fruit
profile of violet, raspberry and cherry, with marked aromas of toasted coffee and chocolate.
Characterised by a broad and sweet mouthfeel, delicate tannins add finesse to this great Malbec.
NASHWAUK CABERNET SAUVIGNON //
MCLAREN VALE, AUS

Bold & Rich, like being surrounded by leather books and smoking a Cuban cigar on a leather
chesterfield sofa.
MOPPA SHIRAZ //
BAROSSA VALLEY, AUS
It is profoundly lifted and alluring with aromatics of dark berries, fresh flowers, mocha, sage and
a hint of white pepper. The full-bodied palate is rich and flavoursome.

We all love beer. Even the people who don’t like beer like beer because we say so.
There are so many new weird and wonderful beers and ciders hitting Australia nowadays;
it’s remarkably difficult NOT to find a beer you will eventually like... We are always on the hunt
for new and exciting beers from across Australia and farther afield. We have set out nice and
slowly having Sam Adams as our introductory beer, a well-established Boston Lager with
heaps of taste and flavour.
If you make or know any really awesome beers/ breweries then definitely give us some info.
We are out to capture the best of best, the best of the unusual and the outright wild and
wonderful so share with us your knowledge and let us pass it on.
Beer is liquid gold, but there’s a story often told,
you drink too much,
you lose your touch
and end up in the cold.
Drink responsibly ;)
