Our Brief History. The Pineapple Lounge was created by browndog , a film company based in Paddington Brisbane. www.browndog.com.au. Known for hosting the odd party, The Woodford Folk Festival invited them to create a bar at their festival in 2011 which they named 'The Pineapple Lounge'. It was a stellar success and despite unusual unrelenting rains that year, they had a stellar line-up of bands playing there, as well as making the space a haven for festival goers. Their goal of creating one of the best festival bars ever in Australia was a sweet success. It was so successful in fact, ABC did 3 National 3 hour New Years Eve live broadcasts from there on their first 3 years. A constant flow of their trademark cocktail shampine to the ABC crew, helped them get our message across to the whole of Australia that The Pineapple Lounge has arrived. The Pineapple Lounge kept the shampine flowing at their FLOOD AID East Coast Tour which happened across 3 States early in 2011 and they raised nearly $10,000 for the Red Cross Major Disaster Relief Appeal. In September 2012, we were invited to host The Brisbane Writers Festival's After Session Bar on the Brisbane River each evening with shampine, wine and song for 4 evenings over the weekend The Pineapple Lounge is at its spiritual home at The Woodford Folk Festival again Dec 27 to 1 Jan..
