Range
Right, back to beers. My bro recommended Range for an after-work drink, so he casually popped by on a Thursday afternoon, and I took 2 buses to check it out. Bar #18. On the home stretch of the challenge. Like most craft breweries in Brisbane, they’re pocketed within industrial areas – with no great parking…

Queens
Quick bus trip from Ping Pong to here, it was the ONLY time during the challenge I went to 2 bars in one night. I’d heard great things about Queens! It was new and getting popular so I went to see what the fuss was all about. At a not-too-dodgy part of the Valley, there’s…

Ping Pong
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…

O’skulligans
Okay where was I – bar #15, O’skulligans Once upon a time I would’ve walked right past this place, but the challenge was good at getting me out of the house, and out of my comfort zone. Also just everything about this bar was intimidating. The door guys: “There’s bands playing tonight” Fun! “It’s cash…

Netherworld
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…

Mr Mista
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.…

The Lord Alfred Hotel
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…

King Lear’s Throne
Keen to see some bands at King Lear’s Throne and find out if there really is a throne at this bar… or a king. So I walked up to the palace, guarded by security (um) guards, and answered three riddles to get in (just kidding, I showed them my ID, doy) and went right in.…

Jungle Tiki Bar
Just a quick pop-ina colada at Jungle, West End. My friend’s band The Filthy Animals were playing their debut show that night and it worked out perfect that Jungle bar was round the corner. Bar #10. I bussed it in, who knows where parking is in West End, and found the Jungle, loud and hectic…
