From 22 to 28 September, South Brisbane’s iconic laneway will transform into a playground for art lovers and Negroni enthusiasts alike. Expect vibrant murals, immersive installations and, of course, plenty of perfectly crafted Negronis waiting to be discovered at some of the city’s best bars and restaurants. Get all the info here.
The trail is designed as a choose-your-own adventure. Wander through Fish Lane at your own pace, uncovering striking new artworks and stopping in at venues along the way for specially curated Negroni creations. Whether you are a die-hard cocktail aficionado or just looking for an excuse to explore Brisbane’s buzzing dining and nightlife scene, this experience has all the makings of the season’s most exciting outing.

How it works
Tickets are $95pp. Your journey begins at Midtown, where you will collect your map and tokens before enjoying a classic Negroni and nibble to start. From there, tokens can be used at any of the participating venues. You can spread them along the trail or redeem them all at your favourite bar haunt. Each stop will serve its own unique take on the Negroni, poured as a half Negroni so you can taste more without overdoing it. Additional food and drinks will also be available to purchase along the way.
Brisbane’s bar talent will be showing off their flair for creativity, with each venue putting its own spin on the classic Italian cocktail. Pair that with the dynamic art scattered throughout the laneway, and you have an event that truly brings together the best of what Fish Lane does so well: blending culture, flavour and atmosphere.
The Secret Handshake Art & Negroni Trail is more than just a night out. It is a celebration of Brisbane’s unique character, a chance to discover hidden gems, and a reminder that some of the city’s best experiences happen when you step off the beaten path.
Mark your calendars, gather your crew, and get ready to raise a glass (or two). This is one secret you will definitely want to share.
