At the beginning of 2024: opportunity came up to return to my hometown Melbourne – so I took it! The…

Zazu
ZAPPED by Zazu Bar. The LAST bar on my Brisbane LIST before I moved to Melbourne! >Situated in the West Village, West End. The outside gives GLIMPSES of the pretty BAR inside.. I showed up RIGHT on time for my 1pm reservation (after receiving two texts and an email reminding me not to be late).…

Yuzu & Co.
YESSS it’s SO pretty from the front! Walking up to Yuzu & Co. Japanese Restaurant & Bar on Park Road, Milton. It just happened to be “game night” – so the dress code was “Broncos jersey” but that’s normal for a Brisbane FOOTY night. ALSO – it would be my LAST dinner with Matt in…

XXXX
X-ACTLY what u think it is. The XXXX Brewery in Milton, Queensland. When I turned 18 (legal drinking age in AUSTRALIA) this BEER was one of the first cartons I “went halvsies in” with a mate (it was this or VB when I was growing up..) I can’t ever recall purchasing the product afterwards. Sooo…

Newstead Brewing Co.
NUMEROUS times I’ve been to Newstead Brewing Co. In MILTON, Brisbane. It was one of my LOCALS and one of my FAVOURITES. (I did visit the original Newstead Brewing Co. in NEWSTEAD when it was there, before it became Working Title) But this about the one right next to Suncorp Stadium. SO let’s start with:…

Kenjin
K, this is annoying: going to write my REVIEW for Kenjin and not finding good PHOTOS! (Keep reading for Kenjin’s EXCLUSIVE deal for Chick Walks Into a Bar followers!) First, let’s start with a photo of the front: MAYBE you can’t tell from the street – if it’s a CLUB or a RESTAURANT, but that’s…

Jolly Roger Bar
JAUNTING through the tavern door, I STRODE into the Jolly Roger, a bustling bar in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane. I was met with the unmistakable scent of ADVENTURE and the hearty laughter of fellow SEA DOGS! COUNT the skull and crossbones. INSIDE: graffiti on the walls! STICKERS, lanterns hanging from the roof, and behind the bar…
