Le Royale
Le Royale is Brisbane’s late-night bar where golden hour never quite slips into the eve. Burgundy banquettes, velvet curtains, and a house band swinging through sly takes on pop classics, set the stage for cocktails with a touch of theatre. Slink in for a night that lasts longer than planned, or just long enough to make you come back for more.

Our beverage offering at Le Royale is based around the spirit of hospitality — generosity. Cocktails are shaken and stirred classique’ — martinis poured cold and clean, spirit-forward drinks handled with precision, and a rotating list that balances familiarity with subtle invention.
Champagne is (best) served by the bottle, wine is chosen to suit the hour and conversation, and everything on the menu is designed to sit comfortably alongside live music and long nights.
Equal care is given to the low and alcohol free offering, with thoughtfully built drinks that favour balance and flavour over novelty. Le Royale is a place where drinks arrive at the right pace and the focus remains on staying present in the moment rather than overthinking the menu.
The food at Le Royale is designed for the later hours, built to complement the rhythm of the room rather than compete with it.
Drawing on the old-world charm and considered approach of The French Exit, the menu leans into refined small plates and dishes made for sharing, pairing easily with cocktails, wine, and conversation. Expect familiar forms, seafood, fried bites, and bar-friendly classics, alongside a signature Le Royale burger for those who prefer dinner long after dark.
The offering is intentionally unfussy and generous, designed to arrive at the right moment, whether you are stopping in for a drink or staying long past your original plan.
Best enjoyed slowly with another round on the way.
Host an unforgettable night with full access to the venue for up to 120 guests or reserve a portion of the space for more intimate celebrations of 50 guests.
Events unfold naturally throughout the room, from the first round at the bar to late-night dancing. Expect flowing cocktails, shareable bites, and a soundtrack that builds as the night goes on — all wrapped in Le Royale’s signature mood and energy.
The French Exit Event Enquiry Form
Please note that all fields are required to be filled out.
Le Royale is a cocktail bar in the heart of Brisbane CBD, set above The French Exit. Designed for the moment when dinner loosens its hold, the room eases into the night with low light, rich textures, and interiors by Sydney designer Tamsin Johnson. Velvet banquettes, marble surfaces, and a central bar all seem to invite one more drink without asking.
Music sets the room in motion. DJs work behind the decks, dropping the right track at the right moment. Thursday–Saturday from 7pm, the house band takes over, takes over, paying homage to familiar songs with jazz-inflected renditions. At the bar,
classics also take the lead — martinis poured cold and clean, Champagne by the bottle, and a rotating list of cocktails that balance precision with play, alongside a low- and no-alcohol offering made with equal care.
The food menu is built for sharing and staying close, drawing on The French Exit’s bistrot grammar with refined small plates and late-night favourites — including the signature Le Royale burger for those who can stay long.
Le Royale is made for easy fun with friends, good moods that carry into the next day, and nights that unfold with a wink before slipping quietly past midnight.
