Formerly know as Jorge on George, Little Jumbo opened its trunk of fineries in March this year. The City is, as we all know, a little hit and miss when it comes to bars and nightlife. I guess it's really a matter of what tribe you like to roll with... but, just so you know - Little Jumbo has all the right measures for a good drinking hole. I like to think it saves the CBD from itself.
Spanning three levels, Jumbo is the perfect after work or ‘meet me for a drink' venue and it also likes to take a walk on the wild side with it's private functions, birthday parties, fashion parades and the like. The menu is Spanish and French inspired and brings out the big guns on tapas as well as mains and desserts. The spirits are top shelf and cocktails are sweet like candy. You'll also probably appreciate the décor if you're into soft, comfortable and modern things to plonk your bum on.

About
FourThousand is a subcultural guide to Brisbane, published daily and fired by email weekly. It is compiled by an amorphous gaggle of Brisbane writers, stylists, designers and photographers who all like huddling under that big umbrella we like to call creativity. Without editorial independence FourThousand has nothing. All editorial you read is featured because it's worth it - not because it's paid for.
