Laruche - Fortitude Valley

Downstairs is packed with people crowded around the bar, upstairs takes you to a smaller area of lounge seating and small drinks bar, and at the back is an open area to sit and drink. They play house music, cocktails and no cover charge. Good mix of people, relaxed environment to mix and chat in the quieter areas.

Amazing music and drinks. The bar team are friendly and accomodating. The best part this venue is the outdoor area.

I love visiting Laruche and putting the barfolk to a test of my favourite ingredients and see what they make me .. this latest cocktail was called the "Death flip" for my love of tequila and egg in cocktails :)

We stumbled upon this bar early on a Friday night, drawn in by the incredible glass chandeliers we could see from the window.The décor is very interesting and eclectic. We were warmly welcomed by the bar tender (from PNG) and he showed us through the different areas available for private hire, etc. They have a good variety of cocktails on order and a smaller list on special for available $10 - including a delicious Espresso Martini. My husband also enjoyed his other "sour" cocktail and I loved my punch.They do serve food, though we didn't look at a menu.We will definitely go back.

I adore LarucheShe is my Brisbane-bar-seductress in the evenings when I'm out and about.
