Waited an hour and half for our food from Uber eats. We rang the restaurant to find out what was going on. Spoke to a guy who didn’t put us on hold and could hear them making excuses after excuses in the back ground about where our food was. We then got passed to the Manager and she was rude and unhelpful saying the food was sitting on the counter made but no Uber driver had showed up. She then said we should have gone with menu log or Deliveroo and that Uber was renown for not showing up. Along with all of this the food was cold and unfortunately unedable. Understand that this may have been an Uber issue but even the food was hot we still think would have been bad quality. Poor customer server and bad food made for a bad experience.

UPDATE: Not sure how the comment below changes the fact that it took 1.5 hours to make the food that was meant to take 20mins. This prevented us from being able to order other food once the order was cancelled as it was already so late at night and everywhere was closed. Waited ONE AND A HALF HOURS for our uber eats order to be made for them to to finally cancel it anyway??? Ordered 7.30pm and had the order cancelled at 9pm!!! Uber eats customers are paying customers too- imagine having a customer come into your store, order, pay, and wait 1.5 hours and then after all that time you walk over, tell them you won’t be making their meal and kick them out?! Absolutely disgraceful.

  • Nathalie Farah

I loooove this cozy bar hiding in the middle of fortitude valley. Prices are very reasonable with some good quality beer. The venue supports live music and pays generous amounts to the musicians while I find really great. The bar gallery is worth a visit. The back of the bar looks like a WW2 dungeon with many little places to hang out. Plus there are a couple pool tables and vintage video games machine. Reccomend this place for a Friday/Saturday night. Pretty quite on Sundays but still cozy witg a good atmosphere.

  • sophia vazanellis

Extremely disappointing, I left my jacket on the seat came back 5 minutes later to the bar and asked for it apparently a staff member had taken it home. I was willing to wait for her to return it but the bar tender assured me he would get it back. I then called to tell them I would be in to get it when I turned up it was gone again, no one could give me an answer, I emailed still no reply. This was my mother’s and very expensive. Not impressed at all would never go back.

Having lived in Melbourne for 5 years I was curious to see if there was a pub like I remember back home... and sure enough Greaser is it. Down an alley, through a kitchen and then you're in a basement world from another dimension. It's actually awesome. Really cool bar tender, lots of rooms to hang in, pool table... pretty spot on alternative vibe. Oh... and the food (Greaser burger) is totally worth trying, really good... and chips, really good. Totally going back.

  • khaellar

This is an amazing venue that my friends and I just happened to stumble upon by accident while in the Valley. There is always live rock music playing, the staff are very friendly, drink prices are reasonable. We don't usually order food but this weekend we did get a serving of chips with aoili and they were pretty top notch. This has become a regular haunt for us, with there being a nice little back area away from the general bar section to hang out.

  • S H

I would have give no star if I could. We order a burger and it was cold, not even warm. Try to talk to waitress but they ignore us didn't come to our table to get the burger back. We took it to the kitchen after 20 mins and they just put it in microwave for us and yea it's still just warm. Waitress finally came to our table and tell us that we'll have to leave the area coz the band is gonna start soon haha. Well done

  • Kately Kate

Me and my partner have spent our 5 year and 6 year with intentions to spend ever single one after purely because of Alby, Stella, Joel, and Gotcha, in my 15 years of bar managing I've never met a more awesome team anywhere in the world! They are always so warm and welcoming and kind, coming in to see them makes the travel time 10000% worth it! Whatever y'all are paying them it's not nearly enough! Love you guys!!!

  • Grayson Maddox

This has been a long time favourite hidden bar of mine, but I visited recently for the first time since becoming a wheelchair user and was amazingly surprised that they were able to accommodate my accessibility needs by supplying a ramp and a helping hand. Very friendly and helpful staff. You won’t find a better place!

  • Wendy Lo

Interesting little hangout, a hideaway from the rest of the dodginess of the Valley. It took me ages to find it but look for the security guard out in front of a small laneway. Not sure what is on offer drinkwise but it was a unique space with lots of different seating areas and stages.

  • Camila Ficker

I've been there once, amazing atmosphere, delightful hamburguers and great quality of live music. One thing I didn't like was customer service, I ordered a pint and it came with an insect when I told the waitress she was sarcastic and threw the insect off giving me the same pint.

  • Sarah Williams

Tonight I was served by a lovely gentleman in a black dress with long black hair. He was very nice and had a good knowledge of the beers. He also offered fresh apple juice for my vodka apple. He was a delight. Also, the man with long blonde hair was throwing off lovely vibes.

  • Dee Bridges (Dee Dee)

Super fun bar... deep in the belly of the valley! Great times for a whiskey gypsy, great live acts and good staff. Kinda dark with its dim lighting but this just adds atmosphere... there crinkle cut chips at the bom-diggity, burgers are delicious as well …

  • Chris Haggarty

The dark underground bar. Great beer and menu of comfort foods. I knew the Chicken was great so tried the beef burger, other than cold chips it was delicious. Great 'cave' to meet up with friends and find privacy with all the nooks around the corners .

  • Rachael Allan

Also ordered food. Our table had hotdogs, burgers, Mac n cheese, chips and fried blooming onion. It was all delicious and well priced. food selection of beers and my margarita was ace. Definitely hitting Greaser up when I'm in the Valley again …

  • Samuel Henry

Honestly if you want to see live music look here. It's got plenty of unknown local artists to discover. The fresh apple juice is the best the thing on the menu and staff are far above for the valley. The pool table and arcade machines are worthwhile

  • Travis Johansen

Manager was abusive, as I was bobbing my head in one spot while standing at my table to "heavy metal" I got screamed at for "dancing" Bar staff were awesome tho I sang ADTR with one of them great experience and all 100% positive on the bar staff.

  • Lucky & Slater

We’ve never had a bad night at Greaser! This is an awesome bar in the middle of Fortitude Valley that’s got a pool table, food, and live music. We almost always end up here at some point in the night if we venture into the valley! …

  • Paul Hilliard

Awesome joint. Dim lighting in a cosy hidden bar. Food was really good. Tried both the greaser and the chicken burgers. Both were super juicy. Very good value. Great selection of beers and the staff were very welcoming. Highly recommended.

  • Dominika Geier

Racist cult. Interrogating patrons as if this were a year 9 function and making fun of foreign accents is not a way to treat patrons. Left within a few min. Bad music and creepy vibe.

  • Alexander Southern

Great pub with an awesome energy about it. A little on the dirt side, probably needs some new furniture. But staff are awesome and this place is always a good time. Do yourself a favour and check them out next time you are in the area.

  • Salem

Came here to see Polarfest Mini and was thoroughly entertained. Staff are lovely to have a chat with and the vibe is nice. Good little dive bar. Will have to come back when the weather isn't threatening to flood the place! …

  • Ian

I've always enjoyed coming here. Regular free gigs for interesting bands, good range of beers, tasty burgers and a very grungy underground feel to the venue. Great for just chilling out with mates, away from the nightclub scene.

  • Mark Aring

This is *THE* dive bar in Brisbane. Atmosphere is just right and the bar staff are great. Menu has improved quite a bit and now its also a great place to get eats as well as a few drinks. $5 drink specials and burgers on Weds.

  • Jenna Hains

Cool atmosphere and good food, funky grunge band playing on a tiny stage. Would've been my regular haunt if I was still in my early twenties, they took great care of our 20+ group of oldies invading them for a birthday

  • Toot BA

I just love greaser, go there if you’re looking to have a good time. If you’re looking for something different from your everyday club/pub/bar whatever, that plays the same mainstream music, go to greaser live shows.

  • Katy O'Brien

Another gem in the city of Brisbane. Fantastic food with great veggo options, karaoke and comedy nights and a cool vibe all round. Staff again are super friendly and knowlegable about the beers they carry. Love it!

  • Chris Macer

Super quirky underground bar. Loved exploring this place. Had the cheese burger and crinkle fries. Very tasty! Also give the pickle back shots a try for something different. Overall was quite the experience!

  • Timothy Holsti

Visited months ago, however I was thinking about burgers and I thought of this place. First place I will visit when I get back to Brisbane some day. Great drinks, food, staff and music. A very unique feel!

  • Lee Murratt

Kinda dark and dingy, but in the best way possible! Great spot for local live talent, great bar food and staff. Love exploring all the dark little corners and rooms. Made my little closet-emo heart happy!

  • James Price

Love greaser bar. Good selection of beers and drinks available, usually some good music playing of a more rock or alternative style. Also really good food, the buttermilk chicken always goes well.

  • Danny cooper

Had a booking for weeks for a large table. Was called an hour and a half before the booking that it had been cancelled due to the place being booked out for a private event. Terrible service.

  • Claire Cunningham

I love this ratty bar - it is the best! Great atmosphere, great bands, they have PBR and there is space where you can move away if you're old and need to protect your ears for a little bit.

  • Joel Zerr

Came on a quiet night for karaoke. The atmosphere is great, both patrons and staff were friendly. Great vibe. Food and alcohol prices are absolutely great. Definitely enjoyed my night here

  • Jono Williams

Who'd of thought going down a alleyway, turning left through a working kitchen then into a small doorway would lead you into an alternative bar with awesome (not to mention cozy) seating.

  • Detective Hip

A very cool hidden away spot for a beer and time to chill out! Very much like you would find in Melbourne. Best part is Happy Hour 5-7 every day! $5 for a beer best price in Brisbane!

  • Connor Morrison

Some of the best service you can find in the valley. A cozy atmosphere that supports local bands. Also, wanted to say thanks to Gotcha for looking after my mates and I last night!

  • Lance

Great beers, food and atmosphere but the playlist needs some work, Gang of Youths for 7 songs out of 10 is a bit much. Hit me up if you want me to make you a banging playlist!

  • greta DL

Great venue. 5 stars to the guy at the bar that replaced my crisps with real fries and put them in a takeaway box. Very gentle. And yes please change the name on the menu ;)

  • Andrew Thomas (Thommo)

Best Diner Cheeseburger experience in Brisbane. If you are looking for a well priced authentic burger with crinkle cut fries, Greaser is your spot. Awesome chic bar too!

  • Robert Reyes

If your elbows aren't greasy after enjoying the burgers here, your opinion, and review are invalid. Best burgers in Brisbane. Best consistenly good live music. Beer.

  • Sambo Hambo

Wednesday night paid $15 for a burger and a pirate life pale ale. Burger was fresh and very tasty. The place itself is pretty obscure. had a good burger and a beer

  • Jade S

Cool little spot for a late night feed. Bar service can be hit and miss, sometimes lacking in knowledge and not the friendliest and warm and friendly other times.

  • Tony Bentall

This place is awesome if you want live music from local talent with a cool underground vibe. Bar staff are cool as and the drinks range is wicked. Def recommend.

  • chelsea puglisi

Love it, love the atmosphere, love the mood and art! Such a grungy punk vibe! The comedy is great and and so is happy hour and pizza! Definitely the best local!

  • Pat Moran

Great little underground bar. With juxtaposed style of '20s speakeasy, greaser and grunge. Serving great food and beers this is a must visit while in Brisbane.

  • J H

Lovely place to have a few drink on the weekend. The music is great! My partner was drunk and was kindly handed some water by a security guard. What service!

  • Meaghan O'Shea

Super grunge hidden gem in the Valley. Perfect for renegade playground style raves and band gigs too.

Wanted a bite late last Friday and Greaser was the only place still serving. Awesome food, good music and a nice selection of beers.

  • Keith Baldry

To be honest a little despairing of the Valley late on a Friday night until we stumbled across this place. Good quirky music venue.

  • Barry Chase

Loved it. A unique, underground type bar hidden in a alleyway. I visited early afternoon. I've been told it goes off late at night.

Amazing atmosphere. Was there on burger Wednesday. I paid 11$ for a beer and a really tasty burger. Can’t complain in any aspect.

  • Anne Hill

Certainly a different vibe, each room was dedicated to bands like Beatles or Rolling Stones, great memorabilia, low lightening.

Best chicken sandwich I’ve ever had, and how nice is it to get real ketchup in Australia.... oh and serves food later than 9pm!

Great venue, really cool grungey aesthetic. There's plenty of seating and great burgers and fries to go along with the booze.

Yummy, greasy American style burger and fries? Tick. Dark, moody rock vibes? Tick. Vegetarian friendly? Tick. Count me in.
