ABOUT THE VENUE
ICONIC WENLEY HOUSE
Market Street is home to the iconic Wenley House, historically famous as Queensland’s first municipal
marketplace, built in 1863. It is within this building that Malt Dining is situated. Its vintage white exterior
and robust brickwork characterise its working-class beginnings and well-loved nature. We have restored
Wenley House’s grand architectural features to their origins and have integrated layers of contemporary
design to visually enhance the space. Wenley House acts as a beautiful backdrop for photos; alternatively,
there are many other breathtaking photography locations just a short walk from Malt Dining. The unique
heritage buildings around Post Office Square provide a city-chic backdrop and the stunning natural
surroundings of the Botanic Gardens bring your photos to life. Wenley House is just one place to start in
a city of wonderful wedding opportunities.
CBD LOCATION
Malt Dining is beautifully located just across the road from the magnificent St. Steven’s Cathedral where
many distinguished ceremonies take place. Malt is also just a few minutes‘ walk from the beautiful
Brisbane Botanic Gardens; another sought-after venue for a special ceremony. Conveniently, Malt is also
just a few minutes’ walk from Queen’s Plaza, Elizabeth Street Arcade, and Broadway on the Mall, placing it
right in the heart of Brisbane’s CBD.
MALT DINING
Malt Dining has three levels of space; The Bar, The Attic Restaurant and The Cellar. The spaces each have
unique characteristics but work together in harmony through a common theme of rustic sophistication.
There are various different ways in which the venue can be suited to your celebration, whether you use
one, two or all three of the dining levels.

ABOUT THE VENUE
THE BAR
As you step inside Wenley House, Malt Bar awaits you, on the ground level, framed by timber arches and
a glowing wall of whiskies and spirits. The original timber floorboards look up to a bar top which boasts
ten metres of beautiful solid Tasmanian oak. Exposed timber trusses line the ceiling and local
contemporary artwork hangs from the walls. The Malt Bar is a contrast of old and new which sets a
distinguished backdrop for a cocktail reception or pre-dinner beverages.
THE ATTIC
Up the timber staircase, The Attic is a hidden treasure exuding charm in every way. Our luxurious sunken
dining room overlooks the city streets as Brisbane’s best kept secret. The Attic has a soaring ceiling and
an entire wall of windows to let natural light flood the dining area. The space is framed by original 19th
century red brick and timber. The Attic’s exposed bricks and beams, and original reinforced archways,
create an enchanting ambience for each and every diner. Romance flows from the grand piano to the
candlelit tables below for a truly unforgettable wedding reception.
