Corbett & Claude

Brisbane Cbd

Updated: Apr 25, 2025

Corbett and Claude is a charming and very cool laneway bar and eatery in Brisbane’s CBD that pays homage to the historic Corbett Chambers building whose basement it occupies.

One time hub of the Commercial Traveller’s Association, the building was designed by prominent Brisbane architect William Claude Chambers, who was behind other iconic Brisbane buildings including Perry House and Finney Isles & Co Building, and who created it as a HQ and clubhouse for commercial travellers.

Today Corbett and Claude makes a splendid convivial retreat for today’s weary traveller, shopper and city worker – an ambient high-ceilinged subterranean dining space with arched brick windows, central tiled bar, open kitchen and lounge nook – in lieu of the ‘handsome dining hall and bar’ that once accommodated travellers on the floor above.

In the long-held traveller’s spirit of connecting over food and drinks, the thoroughly modern food menu is designed to share and revolves around delicious wood-fired pizzas, rustic pasta dishes and delicious comfort plates such as Mrs D’s Crispy Chicken Bites with Chipotle Aioli, Bacon & Cheese Arancini, Caulifower Bites or Burrata with house-made truffle honey & focaccia.

 A selection of pasta dishes includes Spaghetti Carbonara, Bolognese Ragu, Truffle Mushroom Gnocchi, Chicken Alfredo, Lasagne Bolgonese and Salsciccia (penne pasta, Italian sausage and pancetta in aurora sauce - a blend of tomato sauce and cream).
