Pretty pink everything at Ping Pong bar, plus my hair was still in pink mode so I kinda matched the pink picnic tables. Sitting room at the bar was all booked out, so we’re placed at communal tables out front. We had a nice view of the Gasworks but the bar is prettier to look…

No Brisbane bar blog would be complete without a trip to Netherworld Not biased or nothing, but it is my all time favourite bar. My regular haunt – and I gotta say – I really like walking into a bar where the staff yell HEY KELL at me. There’s always a FUN atmosphere when I…

Mid-way through my bar challenge, I was averaging a new bar every week, so my Facebook feed was looking pretty boozy and co-workers were beginning to ask questions. Mr Mista was not my first choice of M bar, but it was time for a mate’s catch up and to own my new piss head image.…

Like I said, I was on a roll, and Lord Alfred’s was on the way home from work. Bar #12 of the challenge. Just wanted to pop in and see the latest renovations. This place has progressed through several makeovers, and once upon a time it was called Hotel LA. I’m sure it has a…

Fancy circus party at The Fortitude Music Hall Fortitude Valley Ok so I F’d up my alphabetical order here (already) I was going great for five bars, A, B, C, D, E. Until my intended F Bar got famous for food poisoning (not named here) and I’d already teed-up drinks with my bro for G…

How about Hop & Pickle South Brisbane Because there was a party later in the same area and I wanted to tick-off an H bar. It was happening. Once I stopped over-booking my bars and winging it, I could get back on the alphabetical track and take my bars a week at a time. I…
