Dirty Sultan
Don’t be disappointed when you get to Dirty Sultan and it’s not a Middle Eastern mecca of harem décor. There is adventure finding this rooftop bar. First, walk down the laneway of beautiful cherry blossoms that is Bëy Lane, til you get to a glass elevator and ride it to the top. There you walk…

El Camino Cantina
Even tho it’s a bit of a chain restaurant, El Camino Cantina has a bar! And it fit in nicely with my Z to A list, and another date night with Matt. The Bowen Hills joint was brightly lit, all vibrant and neon colours outside and in. It’s a LARGE venue and there’s a billion…

John Mills Himself
Just because I don’t know John himself doesn’t mean I can’t pop in for a coffee, to the darkened corners of the John Mills Himself bar. (Cafe bar that is). I’ve done beer bars, I’ve been to cocktail bars. Now it was time for a COFFEE bar. Bar #43 for me, and on this list:…

Kubo’s Bar & Grill
Know that I had walked by Kubo’s bar many MANY times while in Coorparoo, so my next alphabetical list of Brisbane bars (this challenge: Z to A) was the perfect excuse to pop in. Let’s tick off a K bar! Keen to try some authentic Filipino foods, and a purple kind of cheesecake I saw…
