Hot Spot: Southbank Beer Garden

Bevan Bickle has opened a new social space, now making it possible to enjoy a cold bevo by the beach without leaving the heart of the city! The new Southbank Beer Garden overlooks the Brisbane River and Southbank Beach and radiates the ultimate summer vibes with cold beer, delicious light bites and slow-cooked soul food, and breathtaking views (180-degree views, we might add).

The venue offers a range of bottled craft beers and ciders, plus 14 beers on tap, accompanied by a menu packed with gourmet goodness (having been transformed from a former steak bar). Its flexible hours mean you can go from soaking up the morning rays with their breakfast menu — go on and get yourself a breakfast cocktail too — to blissing out with late arvo drinks, to enjoying an alfresco dining spot against Brisbane's kaleidoscope of city lights. This is a gem in the making already.
