Bar Alto

Bar Alto operates from the upper level of the Brisbane Powerhouse in New Farm, providing a dedicated space for Italian-focused dining and drinks. The venue features an outdoor terrace that offers views of the Brisbane River and the surrounding parklands. The beverage list prioritises Italian grape varieties and classic cocktails, complemented by a menu of regional Italian plates. Its location inside a decommissioned power station contributes to a distinct industrial atmosphere characterised by high ceilings and exposed brickwork. Visitors to New Farm often combine a trip to the local markets or New Farm Park with a visit to this establishment. The venue serves as a central hub for patrons attending performances at the adjacent arts centre. It caters to both casual walk-ins seeking a drink on the deck and groups looking for a more formal dining arrangement. The proximity to the riverfront walkway makes it a frequent stop for locals and visitors exploring the inner-city reach of the river.
