A New Year’s Eve at Southbank Beer Garden: A $150 Disappointment

Ahoy, fellow revelers, gather ’round for a tale of New Year’s Eve woe at the “famed” Southbank Beer Garden. At a princely sum of $150, expectations were as high as the impending South Bank fireworks. Not only was I there with my girlfriend, but also 7 other people that I had recommended this evening to ..

Rita’s Tanquria (Bottomless Brunch)

What brings more joy that a cold Margarita on a warm Brisbane day? Bottomless Margarita’s that’s what. Rita’s in Teneriffe is catering to those boozy tequila sippers that enjoy the occassional (or not so occassional) Marg, providing them in jug format in a variety of flavours from classically delightful to I can’t drink this as ..

Whether you are out with the lads or chillin’ with the girls, this Marvel and DC inspired bar is definitely one to keep in your back pocket for occasions that could be described as a little left of field. It really doesn’t matter if you are a Marvel maverick or a doyen of DC, both ..

Little Maru’s Kitchen

Friday… That time of week where we have limited motivation to eat our pre-prepared healthy lunch and go in search of delectable goodness, preferably with an insane amount of carbs. Mmmm carbs. We’ve been couped up for weeks navigating through COVID-19. Now, as restrictions finally start to relax, we see our new world unfolding. And ..

Stormie D’s Cupcakery – food review

In the same vein as Charlie Bucket opening a chocolate bar to reveal a golden ticket or your average New Zealander being handed a black jersey, such is the feeling of awe and excitement as you step through the door at Caloundra’s fabulous cupcakery. While Stormie D’s is lacking in space and the decor could ..

Red Hook – Burger review

Red Hook – Burger review

      Down a sidestreet alley way in the central business district is the last place one would venture in the hopes of sourcing Brisbane’s best burger….but venture we did, with Red Hook settled out of the way down an alley, obviously delving deeply into the consistantly growing laneway culture.  Listening for the music ..
