Peter Hollands, Nick Winter and David Robinson have teamed up to open saloon-style venue, Frog’s Hollow in Brisbane’s CBD on 24 March.
Located inside the John Reid and Nephews Building the venture aims to breathe life back into the city’s whiskey bar scene.
“Brisbane, after a couple COVID years is looking for somewhere easy to gather with friends,” says Hollands. “Along with building a beautiful venue we wanted a space that was easy just to come on in, walk up to the bar and get a drink.
“We’ve got one of the strongest teams I’ve ever worked with, and we believe our offering is going to be unique to the Brisbane bar scene.”
The trio bring with them years of bar experience, with Hollands formerly known as Bacardi’s Brand ambassador and as general manager at the Gresham.
Robinson is formerly known for his roles at Hot Tamale, Snapper Rocks and Hanky Panky Lounge, Darwin.
Winter also comes from the Gresham with stints at Bianca Restaurant and Mjolner Melbourne. The co-owner is excited to deliver an impeccable service to patrons.
“We got extremely lucky that our team is also incredibly talented,” says Winter. “Talent & personality make for an amazing service, and we can’t wait to share that with Brisbane.”
Frog’s Hollow is open seven days a week from 3pm to 1am.
