Uncle Wang Restaurant & Bar
Unusual name, eye-catching though, and had the key word ‘bar’ in the title, so I convinced myself this counted as my U bar. Always happy to support a new local business, I got my mates to meet me for a mid-week beverage at Uncle Wang’s. It was a Thursday afternoon and businessmen were dining alfresco,…

Tipplers Tap, Fortitude Valley
This was Tipplers Tap on a Sunday evening. Bar #20 in the challenge. I’d made it from A to T, on the home stretch to Z. There’s a small group of people out front, and a couple inside, but for 6pm it looks like it’s closing up for the night. Today’s tap list has already been…

Suzie Wongs Good Time Bar
Special Halloween night out at Suzie Wong’s Goodtime Bar. Security guard was delighted when I asked if this place used to be The Bowery? “Yes it was!” (Revealing how old I must be) Cool, cool, I’m still hip. Yes I will walk through this fridge door to the bar.. Scotch cocktails tonight, Jameson’s peach &…

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.…
