Le Festival Bar

The Main Bar is offering our visitors a wide selection of French Red, White and Roses wines, Champagnes, beers and ciders. One week-end only in Brisbane, it’s all about French drinks!

Les Bulles (Champagne - Cremant)

Les Rouges (Red Wines)

Les Blancs (White Wines)

Les Rosés (Rosé Wines)

Les Bieres, Cidres et autres (Beers, Ciders and others)

Les Cidres (Ciders)

Non-Alcoolisées (Non-Alcoholic)

Our “Sustainability” team has been working very hard to try to source in Australia fully biodegradable glasses for all our bars. We will be offering compostable glasses at the main bar. However, no supplier is able at this stage to offer glassses shaped for champagnes or fine wines to give you a decent experience. So we have decided to offer you the best quality recyclable/reusable glasses on the market and these will be sold the price of one ticket (a bit less than our cost price).

Drink responsibly.

The main bar will be open during our event opening hours.
