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. The night called for a couple YUZU SOUR cocktails! Then we…

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…

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…
