The FINEPRINTCO Art Bar, an artisan gallery and cocktail bar, opened on the Gold Coast last month, combining the creativity of handcrafted cocktails with the opportunity to shop for fine art.

Located in Southport’s Brickworks, the FINEPRINTCO Art Bar is the brainchild of Gold Coast locals Leanne Pearce and Jasmine Smith who established the FINEPRINTCO brand in 1995. The pair are behind interior styling institutions St Barts and Gallery One, also located at the Brickworks.

Leanne Pearce said the FINEPRINTCO team was excited to launch an upmarket, experience tailored to a currently untapped market. “We wanted the FINEPRINTCO Art Bar to offer a unique and vibrant space, combining art and hospitality, where guests can admire classic and contemporary art with a cocktail in hand,” said Leanne. Some of Australia’s most prominent and emerging artists will be showcased.

FINEPRINTCO holds exclusive distribution rights across Australia and New Zealand for the Slim Aarons range, including the iconic poolside prints and European collections.

Mixologist of FINEPRINTCO Art Bar, Rumtin Nouzat, said he was was intrigued by the concept of a venue that seamlessly blended fine art with high-quality beverages.  “There really is nothing quite like it on the Gold Coast. With cocktails like ‘Life in the Bahamas’ and ‘Eye of the Beholder’, it pays tribute to some of Slim Aarons’ most iconic photographs,” said Rumtin.

Former manager of some of Sydney’s prestigious cocktail bars, Rumtin has carefully designed a menu with extensive European inspired cocktails, unique to anything the Gold Coast has seen. Rumtin will work with guests to create beverages tailored to their unique tastes and palettes.

FINEPRINTCO Art Bar will host a series of events and workshops including cocktail making masterclasses, Wednesday wine and cheese pairings and Saturday gin and tonic tasting boards. The Art Bar is ideal for sophisticated, intimate events and will capture young professionals, couples looking for a unique date night, and art enthusiasts alike. The space is open Wednesday to Saturday,
1pm – 9pm and is available for hire outside these hours for private functions. FINEPRINTCO Art Bar is located at Shop 302, Brickworks, 107 Ferry Rd Southport.
