Diners go wild for an incredible secret speakeasy bar hidden behind the “office door” of a made-up character named Joseph S. Badger.
The Copacabana Club, in Brisbane’s Woolloongabba, is located behind the office of ‘Joseph Badger’ in an old car park next to Brisbane’s Gabba Stadium.
The club can be found inside Mr Badger – a pre-existing deli and bar.

Copacabana’s new enchantingly lit space is inspired by a European beer garden and the rooftop of New York.
The bar is inspired by the famous New York nightclub where films such as Goodfellas, Raging Bull and One Night in Miami were filmed.
Singers like Frank Sinatra, The Supremes, Marvin Gaye and Sam Cooke all played there, which is why there is a painting of Sinatra on one of the walls.

The bar and beer garden itself are stylish and trendy, with fairy lights above the tables and a cocktail list to rival the very best.
Highlights include the Maggie Soda (campari, red vermouth, spiced orange syrup, mango sorbet, and Prosecco) and Dream a Little Dream (lemon vodka, limoncello, Licor 43, marscapone, cream, and Biscoff).
There’s also a food menu with tasty New York-style pizzas and sandwiches, as well as pop-up food trucks that arrive and depart on weekends.

The Copacabana Club is designed to cater to all types of clientele, from casual diners to those looking for a pre-game snack and drink to those looking to dance – as there is late night music on Friday and Saturday nights.
Those who have shared the bar on social media absolutely love it, writing things like “it looks so nice” and “omg” on Instagram.
“So many cool places in the Gabba,” one person wrote.
“This is such a cool entrance,” added another.
