The group’s vision has always revolved around creating an intimate space, manned by a team of two to three skilled bartenders. With this latest endeavour, they will finally see their dream come to fruition.

Drawing inspiration from its Italian roots, Antico will seamlessly blend the familiar elements of leather chairs, intricate tiling work, and a captivating black marble bar, all reminiscent of the group’s other two esteemed establishments in Brisbane.

Guests will be able to savour the flavours of Italy through a selection of delectable bar snacks, including bruschetta, cheese, and cold-cut meats. These tantalising offerings are set to complement the bar’s classic cocktail-oriented concept.

The team plans to present a house Negroni featuring their distinctive vermouth blend, Campari, and a joint gin creation with Nosferatu, a distillery based in Bowen Hills.

In preparation for its July opening, Antico has transformed the space formerly occupied by Super Whatnot, giving it a whole new look and feel. The industrial vibe of Super Whatnot is gone, replaced with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that’s designed to make people feel comfortable and eager to be back.
