“Sometimes having a small impact on your immediate community has far more influence and power... That's been really important for me - to just slowly change my community for the better the best way that I can, and I do that with our little bar.”

Zero Fox, nestled in the heart of Teneriffe, began as a spontaneous opportunity—one fuelled by creativity, authenticity, and a deep connection to community. What started as a humble craft beer spot has evolved into a vibrant bar with a full Korean and Japanese kitchen, paired with an exceptional wine list. It’s become a beloved fixture in the neighbourhood.

Co-owner Léa Angeles sees Zero Fox as more than a bar—it’s a creative expression and a community anchor. From shaping Brisbane’s beer scene to forging international collaborations, the bar’s impact reaches far beyond its walls.

The journey hasn’t been easy. Seven-day work weeks were the norm in the early days, but with grit and vision, Zero Fox has grown into one of Teneriffe’s local gems —proof that passion, persistence and community can build something truly special.

Tune in to learn more about Léa's story and the evolution of Zero Fox.
