Lychee Lounge in West End

Great cocktail selection.

Superb service in an intimate and embracing space. Try it out and enjoy!

Everytime I come here the service is amazing and the cocktails are even better!!! If youre in West End you need to come and experience the great atmosphere they have to offer. My favourite place in West End!!! Youd be silly not to visit

Our host Jack was so wonderful, he went above and beyond to make our night perfect! He was so welcoming, made us incredible cocktails and showed real old-fashioned service! It was so refreshing, and made our night!

dennis is amazing!! and amazing drinks.

Faithful classic we still enjoy after many years

What a great spot for cocktails in the area and close to the CBD! We were surprised with their cocktails on offer.

Amazing ambiance, lovely music, cosy and intimate. Very attentive staff, outstanding service from our bartender Jack, cocktails were delightful, 12/10 worth a visit.

The song selection was great, the food wasnt too bad, and whatever cocktail I chose was delicious!

Bonsai garden was super delicious! The atmosphere of the restaurant was very nice and we had a great time The pork spring rolls and fried cheese were very delicious

Denis was very nice and accommodating good atmosphere

I visited lychee lounge last night and honestly had two of the best cocktails! I tried the Marigold and the honey blossom old fashioned. Denis was so attentive and knowledgeable and I felt very welcomed! Can t wait to come back, thanks again.

I had the Japanese cocktail from Arika and it was really good The bartender and the atmosphere is amazing I love it. Food

Best place to hangout with great friends and yummy cocktails. Denis is the bee knees!!

Amazing experience at the Lychee lounge! Thank you to the fantastic manager Denis and the amazing bartender on! The drinks are incredible and the atmosphere is unbeatable

I guess the owner change, I came for a glass of wine to relax. We went from a chill jazzy song to a full cheap old fashion techno playlist. Nobody in this place, its friday night. No more for me. Far from what I used to know.

Staff were awesome - super accomodating and cocktails were great!

This place is A++++ Great cocktails and amazing service. Doesnt look like much from the outside but I promise you wont be disappointed! I consider myself a bit of a cocktail connoisseur, and this place hit all the right ways!

First bar I came to as I touched down in Brisbane. Service felt very personal, as if theyd known you their whole life, great experience. Tried an old Cuban, great cocktail and an extensive menu full of classics from around the world! Cant wait to come back on my next trip! Loved it!

Stopped in here quickly with my partner and wow! Cocktails were delicious and the service was amazing, very old school bar tender service which is very much appreciated, will definitely be back

Denis was attentive and provided excellent service. Absolutely come back !!!

Excellent customer service, great selections of cocktails.

Lychee Lounge is one of my favourite places to go in West End. Beautiful on the inside with great atmosphere. Management is quick to respond and very accommodating. Amazing food with great gluten free options - even amazing gluten free dumplings and spring rolls. The bartender Denis went above and beyond for us with specially made cocktails, quick service, and even let us pick the music. Classy and fun!

Cocktails are delicious and fairly priced, the venue is really cute but definitely need to book to avoid missing out. Some people at our table were paying as they went and some keeping a tab, end of the night we were almost charged again for the drinks that had already been paid for. Aircon wasn t really working because it was such a hot night. Would recommend was still a lovely night.

Drinks were ok bartenders are not pleasant.

Absolutely wonderful staff- great food, amazed I got a table!

Beautiful little boutique cocktail bar with wonderful tapas foods and fantastic drinks options. Great staff and lovely ambiance

Its a nice bar with good atmosphere.drinks are great and price is reasonable.

kind waiter, keeping us hydrated. my old fashioned was made beautifully extensive menu, i loved how it was arranged into where the cocktails originated from

Huge range of cocktails, amazing service and top recommendations. Definitely recommend for a few cheeky drinks!

Amazing bar, gorgeous decor and impeccable service from all staff. The drinks are amazing both on and off menu, or your bartender will give you an amazing personalised reccomendation if you dont know what youre after. Perfect cosy- yet elegant- place for date night

Stopped in for a snack with my darling partner after work, we are both very busy financial advisors you see. A little chalkboard read 101 cocktails we just couldn t walk past it! She had a Honey Blossom Old Fashioned while I opted for an old fashioned cold beer! Delightful. We got a coupla tapas snack plates and they were mostly fine. We were hungry and made short work of them. The staff were warm and very hospitable, a wonderful time was had by all. Super!

This place never fails to satisfy. Its a favourite date night location for quality cocktails made by barkeepers who truly know their craft. And the food is delicious! We were worried when the former owner sold the place, but the new management is continuing the traditions and quality (and menu!) we love.

Amazing Italian Barman

Gorgeous little bar with a stunning array of cocktails, the bartenders are skillful and friendly. We love coming here, their service is fantastic!

Great Vibe.

Lived the decor, the atmosphere, the drinks. Some of the food was incredible, some was just good....so literally worth going if the worst of the food is good

Cocktails are yummmm, food was pretty great. Cocktail prices range from $20-$28, which is pretty high, but we mostly found them worth it.

One of my favourite bars in Brisbane! Great atmosphere, Great music, And a very professional bartender! Was absolutely wonderful! Food : 5/5 |

Great atmosphere

Had snacks and drinks while it was pouring down outside. Great servive, beautiful atmosphere, great deco. Will return and recommend!

Cocktails seemed watered down.. service was a little slow

There was no more than 15 people in the venue. Wait time for a watered down, overpriced cocktail was 25 mins.. the person who appeared to be the manager thought shaking the life out of two pieces of fruit for 6 minutes would improve the taste of his $24 cocktail is kidding himself. Never going here again

Always good for a couple of delicious drinks with friends or a date.

The bartender knows what he s doing. Trust in him. If you have trust issues then first order the piña colada then you ll understand.

Really delicious cocktails and AMAZING service. The bartenders obviously know their stuff! I can understand why this place is still going after years and years. I do wish the seating was more comfortable and the music was not instrumental elevator jazz though.

Very large selection of cocktails and the bar staff are happy to help you pick with recommendations. There is also a decent range of tapas all of which are excellent quality. Every time I go I like to enjoy a Whisky Sour made on Woodford a Reserve Double Oak Bourbon. Definitely give this place a try.

Arrogant club owner with attitude that imparts bad atmosphere.

Good atmosphere. Great drink selection. Book in advance if you want the couch seats. Espresso Martini spot on.

I and my husband love to hunt Lychee Martini and make comparison. This place is the best so FAR. Even though the glass size now is slightly smaller :( with the same Price

Hidden Gem in the main street of West End, great vibe. Over 100 cocktails to choose from, we managed to get through a few and there was no complaints. Tapas was varied and a great small meal to share with cocktails. bar staff offered table service for drinks. Caters for large or small groups with bookings or walk ins available. Had the French Martini and Lychee Martini which I can recommend, . Will definitely be back.

A variety of selections. #TBD was great.

I recently arranged a birthday at Lychee and it was amazing. Great vibe, staff were lovely, food was fantastic and in general was a very relaxed atmosphere. Thank you to the team

Started with 2 Espresso Martinis followed by a Lychee Martini and a TBD#1. All of it was amazing but a special mention to the TBD#1, it is 100% an alcoholic bubble tea and is my new favorite liquid narrowly beating out Fresh water and Post mix ginger beer.

Super chill bar with friendly service. Definitely keen to come back, both the food and drinks were epic!!

I really like this bar, especially its unique lychee flavored wine.

Good selection of cocktails. Space is a bit tight and generally quite pricey though.

Good selection and great service.

Hosts a speed dating scam which advertises events on Eventbrite at their venue, cancels them due to supposed low attendance and refuses to refund tickets, saying they can be used for future events (which are also cancelled).

Cocktails are not great

Great cocktails and staff! The bartenders know what they are doing

Absolutely delicious cocktails with a very large selection. The atmosphere was lovely and the service was good.

Delicious cocktail with nice atmosphere, great service too!

Cocktails are extensive, service is very slow and cocktails are very small. Expensive.

Had a dope cocktail here. Was super chill

Classic Brisbane cocktail venue, has been there for qs long as I remember, has kept up with the times and consistently has been one not the best bars in Brisbane for decades. Go visit. The bartenders know what they are doing.

Good atmosphere, friendly staff.

Loved the cocktails at Lychee Lounge. My favourite is the Silk Road. A great balance between creamy & fruity; with a little zest added from the green apple. The only downfall is that they dont give a how-to tutorial so i can make myself one at home!

The G&Teas. One word = DELICIOUS!

Great service! Perfect design and lovely staff. The manager (Vicky) is awesome!

The most uncomfortable seating in Brisbane. Inside and out........I have had more comfort on a the translink train. .. standard city prices for cocktails... nothing special

Very slow service mixing drinks when the place wasnt very busy, but great atmosphere

Very intimate setting, somewhat small but it creates part of the atmosphere of a nice dining / bar experience, great area & their cocktail selections pretty wide - try the akira sunrise!

Cute little place, great ambience, comfy seating and a delicious range of cocktails. Staff were super attentive and professional. Definitely a good find!

Good Ambience and loved the food

Tasty cocktails, chilled vibe but a mission to find the toilets ... walking around with a spatula is no fun lol Update: Back again for more lychee martini s! And to confirm they don t do shisha! Please pass it on

Ambiance is nice, drinks a bit pricey (15 dollars for a pint of asahi beer, and 14 dollars for a gin) but thankfully service is so slow you dont have to buy many.

Loved it. Good cocktails

Big fan of the Lychee and Espresso Martinis. The place is decorated so well and staff are nice and professional

Okay, have been here twice. First time the bar dude was too busy chatting someone up to actually serve us or make the drinks we ordered. Second time, they had nothing. Can u have a coffee. No, only a coffee martini. Can I have a tap beer. No, we are out on all taps. Also, the first three cocktails we ordered off their menus were not available due to a lack of ingredients. The drinks we did get were mediocre. All in all, Lychee Lounge has been rubbish two out of two times. Edit: Lychee I know has changed owner. I can no longer comment on the quality. Will try again and update. Edit again: Still no good. No atmosphere. Awkward to be here. I think its changed owner at least once since the last edit.

Nice bar for a quiet night

Top notch Pina colada

Had a good start here last Friday :) Nice cocktails and beautiful service

Excellent high-end cocktails with very professional bartenders ...that arent afraid to show off, either!

For all you cocktail lovers

Good for drinks and having fun time. You might feel that food is served in less quantity and also not like taste but that is completely on individuals, the basic theme is to lounge is of Chinese/Japanese.

One of my favourite bars in West End. All bar tenders are knowledgable and provide quick friendly service. It can get busy on the weekends, so be sure to come in early if you are in a group. 5 x Stars!

Just as great as it was 15 years ago!

Nice cozy place

I love the cocktails here so much. The signatures are really different and fun and the classics are perfectly made.

No toilets on site, key system and a walk around the back of the place. Otherwise not too bad, drinks are nice, but amenities let it down.

The best cocktails and a really great moody setting.

Used to go here a while ago but now I have returned its still good but service way too slow. Waited 30 minutes for drinks and place wasnt full. Seems they need more staff

Great atmosphere and cocktails, perfect for date night, friendly staff.

Hadnt been for 15+ years but its still a great little spot. Friendly staff and delicious cocktails, what more could you ask!

Tapas menu was delicious!

Delicious range of cocktails and the service was outstanding too. Highly recommended.

Awesome evening with beautiful friends. Drinks and staff were amazing. Great atmosphere with sensational jazz.

The price of the cocktails wasn t a good value for what you get. Me and my friends went there a couple weeks before and we waited for a long time first to find a table for us and second for the order. At the end, the waitress forgot our order so we had to wait more time to get the order.

Close quarters and rather intimate. And the White Russian is one of the best Ive ever had.

Incredible owners and staff. Gorgeous, funky venue. Wonderful cocktails. Highly recommend!

Only recently discovered this little bar and have gone twice since then! Drinks are excellent and the vibe is chilled. Best espresso martinis in Brissy.

A little cramp but it s a great place to hang out with awesome drinks!

Great service. Make a bloody nice martini

Awesome must go back

absolutely impeccable service, greeted by a friendly face and a very warm welcome. 10/10 would recommend

Amazing cocktails and great vibe. Only thing that needs to be changed is the booths. The booth chairs are so long and close to the table you need to slide in and its uncomfortable. Service was fabulous!

Lovely to see the Asahi Rep who I see at my work at the Fox Hotel in at the Lychee Lounge when I arrived tonight. I was greatly Honoured by Vicki the proprietor of the Lychee Lounge, who asked me to participate in tasting some exquisite Japanese Whiskey. Excellent smooth whiskey mellow and seeing Josh and Alex who have perfected the Best Espresso Martinis in Brisbane. If you have not visited this quaint cocktail lounge take it from an old school chef this is truly a blessing to find in the South Brisbane and West End district. I urge you to make an effort to acquaint yourself with this delightful place, the ambience is sublimely perfect the choice to kick off a night with a paramour or to end an evening with close friends. Whatever fits your mood but I urge you to please visit this place. I can guarantee you will not be dissapointed.

Slow service

Weird place, sat for 20 minutes or so waiting for some service and left as none came. Do they actually do anything there? Not sure. One star is probably too much.

Great service and great cocktails! I dont usually drink cocktails but the staff made me feel so welcome and were able to tailor a drink from scratch for me,according to my tastes.Thanks for great night!

It was my first time in this local lounge and I am in love with it, nice atmosphere, amazing cocktails, specially expresso martini. Great services guys!. Again! a super great service and finally I found a bar that can make a original Pisco sour drinks

My first time in West End, great chill atmosphere, lots of varied comfy options for seating, was just the vibe I was looking for for a date. Busy when we got there at 730, pretty quiet by 10.

The first martini espresso Ive tried that didnt make me want to vomit. Hip little nook for the after dinner cocktail.

Such a cool and funky place. Amazing service and great food. Great cocktails. Would recommend this place to anyone!! So worth going to. And you can book although not 100% necessary. Give it a shot when youre in west end!!

A favourite haunt, with great cocktails, oriental notes and tones.

Such a great night, staff are amazing!! We all got so well looked after

Bartenders here are AMAZING !!!

Relaxed vibe, music good but a little loud. Great bar (limited beer, but). Worth a visit.

Even after not being there for 5 years, they still produce great cocktails

A West End institution and one of the first cocktail bars to grace West End. Consistently good cocktails and bar food. The salted edamame are amazing. Great for small groups, book the back couches for privacy, or stake out the front area that spills out onto the footpath if you want to catch the eye of passers-by. Great for signature lychee martinis and late night tapas.

Westend cocktail bar, expensive, good. Try the Smoking Matha

Best cocktails in West end, well worth the dollars for the experience. Bartenders & mixologists are fab & always have new suggestions. Good vibe, eclectic decor and great presentation. Would be suitable for after business drinks, a first date or a beer with your mates!!

Bar staff were very happy and helpful. Domed roof is interesting, you can clearly hear a conversation on the other side of the room as it bounces off the ceiling

Vicky is a great host and always make s us feel welcome. Definitely worth checking out if your in the area.

Fantastic cocktails!!! The place has a great atmosphere and the staff is super attentive and prompt!! Great place to chill inside or watch the world go by by the window

Great cocktails an good service

Terrible - I was immediately alarmed by the decor which looked more like a medical condition than a lounge. Giving them the Benifit of the doubt, I ordered a lychee martini hoping for the best, after all, the place is called Lychee lounge Unfortunately what I got was a premixed disappointment. Then what seemed to be the owner tried to convince me that I was the crazy one and that the drink I ordered was the most popular on the menu. This might have explained the 10 people that were there on a Saturday night at 10pm and the bowl of sweet potato fries that a group of girls left without eating Would not recommend.

I d honesty give you 1000 stars if I could. Hands down the beat place ever. Best custom cocktails by Aaron and the most hospitable service over ever received by any bartenders in my life. Please stop by this place if you re in the area !

Relaxed yet attentive staff, funky decor.

Cozy cocktails. Dont be fooled by the small space, the Lychee Lounge packs a punch when it comes to cocktails. There excellent menu will suit all tastes and they always have a full complement of the classics. The staff were friendly and if youre there with just two or three people then a seat at the bar provides plenty of entertainment as your (and everyone elses) cocktails get made. Im not sure anyone who goes to a cocktail lounge worries about price, but just to note for those frugal people out there, dont expect much change out of a 20 for each drink.

Good bar but couldnt see any lychees

cool little spot in west end, nice interior and comfy seats! pair that with a good selection of cocktails and youre set up for a good night. If you like mint slice then i suggest a grasshopper

Late night. Grabbed a pizza from next door and had a couple of beers

Nice place

Great selection of drinks, lovely staff and a general great dining experience. Delicious snack food as well! The young redhead that served me was so welcoming.

Great Place! Was served by a very kind young man named Nitai? I apologise for any incorrect spelling. He looked after our table exceptionally and made the overall experience amazing. Great service. Thankyou Lychee Lounge.

Fantastic people who know how to make a delicious variety of cocktails and delicious bar snacks. Aronchini balls n halumi fries were delcious for a cheat day. Definitely go back again for a treat!

Hosted my birthday party here one year. Great communication. Minimum spend to reserve an area but you get to spend it on food and drinks there. Winning. Cool vibe. Good selection of drinks. Recommend.

Novel drinks, cool vibe

Great cocktails

Nice atmosphere

Great cocktails and table service

Great cocktails.limited menu

Guys, when someone asks for the meat to be held from their dish, give them a bit extra of the remaining food. Youre saving money by us not eating the meat, so reimburse us by adding more of the other items; especially considering your tapas are so expensive. Thats just common sense.

Overpriced pants. Waited for 20 minutes watching the bar tender chat up a woman until the waiter reminded him that he forgot to make our drinks which were only beers. Highly unimpressed

Lovely old fashioned and the self proclaimed best espresso martini in town - Lived up to its claim.

Not a great venue if youre not into lychees. Otherwise, above average.

Really nice lychee maritinis

Perfect cocktails perfect vibe!

Absolutely amazing experience. Great food, great staff, great cocktails.

This place puts tea in bottles behind the bar to inflate their stock. Well at least in one bottle, I would know I ordered a shot of tequila and drank some very old tea...or something. The owner gave me a couple free shots but was not sorry enough in my opinion. I feel violated.

Kinda classy yet kinda bogan at the same time. Straya!

Great service, great atmosphere and great cocktails.

Loved it! Drinks are amazing and the tapas were yummy. Cozy little place with great service and the best cocktails!

The decor is amazing, service nice and the drinks were fantastic, but I really hope they read this and other reviews asking them to rethink their music selection. People do not go to a nice bar with expensive cocktails for club music at high volumes at 8pm! The poor wait staff had to yell so we could hear them and we couldn t have any decent conversation, just sipped our drinks and pretended to hear what the others were saying. It is just so much at odds with the vibe of the place to deafen your customers with club beats. Turn the music down and I would be only too happy to spend my money here.

Chilled place. Nice
