Malt Dining & Bar

Malt Dining & Bar occupies a heritage setting at 28 Market St, Brisbane City, with seasonal dining, local produce and a choice of spaces shaped by the building’s earlier working-class character. The venue combines a restaurant, bar and private dining areas, giving it a flexible identity for meals, drinks, celebrations and business gatherings.

The Attic restaurant has an intimate, refined feel, with character that reflects the building’s heritage. It provides the main dining setting for seasonal food and considered service, while the ground-floor Malt Bar offers a more relaxed setting for social catchups and corporate meetings. Vintage brickwork, varied textures and colour give the bar a distinctive atmosphere, with whisky forming part of its visual and drinks focus.

A speakeasy-style staircase at the rear of the bar leads to the Cellar, a private dining room with a low ceiling and exposed columns. The space is suited to private dinners and functions requiring a greater degree of separation. Alongside the Cellar, the venue offers private use of the Attic, as well as event arrangements across the wider bar and restaurant spaces.

Malt’s food style centres on seasonal dining rather than a fixed signature dish. Local produce and changing menus form the basis of the restaurant offering, while the venue also hosts special menus, celebrations and food-and-wine events. The setting makes the restaurant appropriate for a relaxed meal, an occasion that calls for a more formal room, or a gathering planned around shared food and drinks.

Functions can be tailored for team gatherings, business events, birthdays and other private celebrations. Bespoke food and wine experiences are also part of the venue’s event offering, with personalised arrangements shaped around the occasion. Group bookings are handled separately from smaller table reservations, making the venue relevant to both intimate dining and larger organised events.

For diners travelling from the Gold Coast, Malt offers a Brisbane City destination that brings restaurant dining, a heritage bar and private-event spaces together under one roof. The combination of seasonal produce, old architectural details and several distinct rooms gives each area a different role, from casual drinks in the bar to a more secluded dinner in the Cellar.
