MJ the musical cocktail menu takeover

MJ The Musical Cocktail Takeover at Bar 1603

To celebrate the arrival of MJ the Musical in Brisbane, Bar 1603 is stepping into the spotlight with a limited-time cocktail takeover inspired by the rhythm, energy and iconic moments of the King of Pop.

Created exclusively for this collaboration with Queensland Performing Arts Centre, the menu features three bold cocktails designed to echo the drama, creativity and smooth style that made Michael Jackson a global legend.

Whether you’re heading to the theatre or keeping the night alive afterwards, this special menu is your backstage pass to something unforgettable.

The Headliner — $22

A show-stopping cocktail layered with flavour and intrigue. Activated charcoal sets the stage before notes of Kahlúa, crème de cacao and Amaro Citrange take the spotlight, balanced with Toki whisky, orange bitters and orange cream. Rich, dramatic and made for centre stage.

The Smooth Groove — $22

Silky, bright and effortlessly cool. Absolut Grapefruit vodka blends with Chambord, pineapple juice, yuzu sake and fresh lemon to create a vibrant cocktail with a smooth citrus rhythm.

Pop Fusion — $22

Playful with a little heat. Chilli umeshu meets tequila, passionfruit and lime, finished with popcorn for a surprising twist that’s equal parts sweet, spicy and unforgettable.

The Perfect Pre-Show (or After Party)

Located in the heart of **Brisbane>’s CBD, Bar 1603 is the perfect place to start — or finish — your theatre night. Stop in before the show for a quick cocktail or settle in afterwards and keep the celebration going.

This limited-time menu is available throughout the Brisbane season of MJ the Musical, so don’t miss your chance to sip something inspired by one of the greatest performers of all time.
