The Bunker Barre is a novel dining establishment built from the remnants of World War II bomb shelters located beneath the Queensland Ballet’s Thomas Dixon Centre in West End. The Clark Family generously supports this project, which combines innovation and preservation.
The meticulously restored bunkers will retain their original brickwork, creating an intimate and evocative space.
A Pre- or Post-Show Retreat
This underground haven is set to entice visitors with a curated menu of food and drinks, serving as an inviting pre- or post-show retreat for ballet-goers and curious epicureans alike. While exact culinary details remain under wraps, the Bunker Barre promises a distinctive experience.
Revitalising the Thomas Dixon Centre
The Thomas Dixon Centre in West End underwent a more comprehensive revitalisation under the direction of renowned architect Conrad Gargett. This holistic approach aims to weave a vibrant tapestry of artistic and communal spaces, deeply anchoring the venue within the local landscape.
More than just a restaurant, the Bunker Barre symbolises resilience and re-imagination. It’s a nod to Brisbane’s past, a toast to its present, and a delicious glimpse into its future.
Details of the opening of Bunker Barre are still kept underwraps.
