🎳 STAFF OUT OF OFFICE 🎳
We spend most of our time serving you Asian Fusion food, pouring drinks and pretending we know what we’re doing…
So naturally, when the Mr Wabi team got the morning off, we decided to test our skills at bowling. 😂
The results? Questionable.
The technique? Concerning.
The competitiveness? Completely unnecessary.
The vibes? 10/10.
A few strikes, a lot of gutter balls, questionable bowling form and enough laughs to remind us why we love this crew. 🫶
Because behind the bar, the kitchen and the late nights… there’s a bunch of legends who know how to have a good time when they’re not working.
Mr Wabi staff bowling:
🎳 10% skill
🍻 20% strategy
😂 70% absolute chaos
Back to work now… Open from 4:30pm!
Mr Wabi — Burnett Lane, Brisbane City
Where the staff are almost as entertaining as the drinks. 😉
Archie Brothers for having us and look forward to coming back again 🔥

🖤 MR WABI
When life’s already falling apart, you might as well have a drink.
She’s been through some things. We’re not judging. 😂
Good food
Sapporo on tap
Japanese wh**ky
Cocktails like no other
And just enough bad decisions to make tomorrow interesting.
Sometimes you don’t need therapy… You just need a table at Mr Wabi.
📍 Down Burnett Lane, Brisbane City
Come for dinner and stay for the questionable decisions.

THE STORY BEHIND THE NAME MR WABI 🥢
So… what does “Mr Wabi” actually mean?
The name Mr Wabi comes from Wabi Sabi a Japanese philosophy centred around finding beauty in the imperfect, the unfinished, the simple and the fleeting.
Wabi speaks to simplicity, authenticity and appreciating the beauty in things that aren’t polished or perfect.
Sabi is about the beauty that comes with age, time and imperfection the idea that things can become more meaningful as they evolve.
And that’s the spirit behind Mr Wabi.
We’re not about being perfect.
We’re about good food, good drinks, good people and good nights.
A little rough around the edges.
A little unexpected.
Always authentic.
Hidden down Burnett Lane, Mr Wabi is our take on asian inspired food, wh**ky, cocktails and late-night energy where the imperfect moments usually become the best ones.
Wabi Sabi.
Find beauty in the imperfect.
Welcome to Mr Wabi. 🥢🥃🖤

Today we were lucky to be part of the Helfi Addiction Fitness K4K team (kilometres for kids) 5km walk. What a great turn out as team Helfi raised over $17,000 for this charity.
The work the Helfi team have done to create a great atmosphere in their gym but also in the community is such an honour to witness.
Great work team Helfi, we cannot wait to be part of the next K4K event and excited to see what community events you have planned in the future!

🤫 AUGUST HAS A SECRET…
However we are hard launching this early 🫣
If you know, you know
Starting this August, we’ve teamed up with Suntory to unlock something we’ve been quietly crafting behind the bar... a secret cocktail menu featuring Japan’s finest spirits:
🥃 Suntory Toki Wh**ky
🍸 Haku Vodka
🌿 Roku Gin
But here’s what makes it even more special...
Every cocktail on this hidden menu has been personally created by our Bar Manager, Toji—a collection of off-menu recipes inspired by Japanese flavours, premium spirits, and late nights in Tokyo’s hidden cocktail bars.
These cocktails won’t be on the menu, they won’t be advertised and we won’t be offering them to everyone.
The only way in?
✨ Say the code word: “SUNTORY.” ✨
Use it when booking online or whisper it to one of our team when you arrive, and you’ll unlock access to Toji’s exclusive off-menu cocktail collection.
Think neon lights, hidden alleyways, a bartender making something you’ve never tasted before.
One drink becomes two... then suddenly it’s midnight.
This one’s for the curious, the cocktail lovers, the people who know the best experiences are usually the ones you have to ask for.
📍 Mr Wabi
Burnett Lane, Brisbane C*D
The secret starts in August. Just remember one word...
SUNTORY. 🥃🌸
P.S. Don’t ask for the secret menu... ask for Toji’s menu and watch what happens. 😉

Your Uber Eats driver could never... 😏🍱
This isn’t meal prep.
This is main character energy.
A little bao
A little satay skewer
A little teriyaki chicken
A little wonton
A little duck spring roll
A little “I’ll just have one bite”...
..followed by you aggressively defending your last piece like it’s a family heirloom.
Life’s too short to order boring food.
📍 Find us tucked away in Burnett Lane, where the walls have attitude and the food has even more.
Warning: Side effects may include food envy, table theft, and friends suddenly becoming “just one bite” experts.
Tag the mate who says “I’m not that hungry”... then finishes half your meal. 👇
