The building acts as a facade for a secret prohibition bar that takes audiences back to the 1930’s speakeasy flare and drama.
Entry is only awarded to those who know the secret code, so whisper Pirie at the door to gain special access.
Prepare for swinging jazz funk sounds from three resident bands, dressing the part is highly encouraged.
Junction festival director Greg Clarke said attendees should prepare for a night of intimacy, incredible music and fine whisky.
“It is the idol to place to socialise have have some fun … there are lots of small little areas where you can sit with your friends over a drink,” he said.
The Speakeasy will be open from Thursday to Saturday.
Tickets are available from www.junctionartsfestival.com.au or the pop-up box office in Brisbane Street Mall.
Limited tickets will be available at the door.
