Foresters Restaurant & Bar

Fortitude Valley

FORESTERS RESTAURANT AND BAR HAS PERMANENTLY CLOSED AND WILL BE REPLACED BY LA COSTA BAR IN LATE 2020.

Foresters Restaurant and Bar in Fortitude Valley is the epitome of elegance; a Modern Australian all-day eatery housed in the old Forester's Hall (circa 1889) which was once upon a time the Valley's first movie theatre.

Perched on the corner of Alfred and Brunswick Streets, at the base of FV by Peppers boutique accommodation, Foresters is elegant and edgy, at the same time featuring exposed brickwork and concrete pillars with arched windows and luxe leather seating.
