Gerties Bar, a Brisbane favorite since 1993, will close Feb. 24, 2025, after owner Raul Chocop couldn’t secure a new lease.
Gerties Bar, a Brisbane staple since 1993, will close permanently at the end of February 2025 after its owner, Raul Chocop, failed to secure a new lease.
Despite strong performance and a loyal following, a proposed rent hike and ongoing maintenance issues made continuation unfeasible.
Chocop, who bought the bar in 2015, prioritized personal service and authenticity, avoiding modern tech like QR codes.
The final day of service is February 24.
Chocop plans to visit family in Guatemala and later consider future ventures, possibly a new location or concept.
