The story

Bar Alto is located within the Brisbane Powerhouse, a contemporary multi-arts, dining and conference venue on the banks of the Brisbane River beside New Farm Park. Once a working power station, it has become a Brisbane landmark and a hub for theatre, music, comedy, film, visual arts, festivals and ideas. Since reopening as an arts centre in 2000, the heritage-listed building has blended bold industrial architecture with European flair, raw textures and preserved graffiti walls. The recently refurbished precinct offers a complete arts and dining experience, with Bar Alto overlooking the river, a reconfigured Turbine Platform concert stage, and a rooftop terrace.
