Category: Brisbane Bars

Even tho I was doing “Dry July” (at the time) it did not stop me going to the bars – Greg was keen to get away from the office, so we did a lunch visit to Easy Times at Woolloongabba. I walked in and (NOT to be distracted by the pretty beer taps), told the…

Called to me! from across the street: THAT place, that used to be a Fritzenberger – now had bold new signage: Caxton Street Brewing Company. Though Brisbanites (as old as me) will also remember it as the Casablanca club – yep, WAY back. So I went to see what the new NEW owners had done…

BRIGHT and BLUE and a BARON and BREWS! At The Brew Baron brewery in West End. Last time I was here it was Parched bar, so I went to see how the new owners were re-branding the venue. I just happened to walk up the stairs, the DAY electricians were installing NEW signage. and INSIDE:…

DARK? Yes. RED WINE? Also Yes. and WHITE wines, ROSE wines and OTHER drinks too – at Dark Red Wine Bar. It was my first time down Bakery Lane in Fortitude Valley. Yes, cool, NEW adventure! It wasn’t so much a LANE as it was a CUL-De-SAC of restauranty bars. When I got to the…

First I thought of another F word I know in the English language, but FUDGE it. I’ll pretend to forget, cuz Fick Brewing is a family-owned business! making great Belgian-style beers and FOOD.
