Cocktails and Bar Dining at South Bank

South Bank is one of Brisbane's best areas for a drink before, during or after dinner. Little Stanley Street has a concentrated mix of cocktail bars and restaurant bars — some worth stopping at in their own right, others best experienced as part of a full evening.

Sage Yellowfin's bar programme has been built around the same principles as the kitchen: quality ingredients, well-executed classics and enough originality to be interesting. The cocktail list pairs well with oysters, fresh seafood and the outdoor terrace. For a date night South Bank, a cocktail at the bar before dinner is one of the better ways to start.

The Drinks List

What to Drink at Sage Yellowfin

🍸
Signature Cocktails
The cocktail menu at Sage Yellowfin is built around coastal flavours — citrus, saline, botanical. Seasonal changes keep the list interesting.
🥂
Wine by the Glass
A curated by-the-glass list focused on Australian and French wines. Particular strength in white Burgundy and Queensland wine producers.
🍷
Chablis with Oysters
Fresh oysters and Chablis is one of the great pairings in dining. Sage Yellowfin keeps both to a high standard — the Chablis selection is chosen to match the oyster programme.
🍹
Pre-Show Drinks
Heading to QPAC? A cocktail or glass of wine at Sage Yellowfin before a show is a South Bank ritual. The bar opens from 11:30am — plenty of time before an evening performance.
🌿
Spritz and Aperitifs
For a lighter start to the evening — Aperol Spritz, Lillet, or a white wine with ice. The outdoor terrace makes these particularly good on a Brisbane evening.
🎶
Cocktails After Dinner
Post-show or post-dinner drinks are served until close. The cocktail bar's atmosphere shifts after 8pm — quieter, better for conversation.

Drinks, Oysters and South Bank Views

The Sage Yellowfin bar is at its best when combined with food — cocktails with freshly shucked oysters, wine with a seafood platter, a post-dinner digestif. The outdoor terrace on Little Stanley Street is the right place for a South Bank drink. Walk-ins are welcome at the bar for drinks and oysters. For a full dinner with cocktails, book in advance — particularly for an anniversary dinner Brisbane or weekend evening.
