Sydneysiders and Melburnians live in constant jealousy of Brisbane’s climate. Sure, all three cities receive their fair share of glorious sunshine, but Brisbane and the neighbouring Gold Coast represent the perfect advert for Australia’s laidback, beachside lifestyle.
Bronzed and fabulous Brisbanites, naturally, spend a lot of their time outdoors and because of the sunshine, need to stay refreshed and hydrated. Fortunately, there are a number of top-notch pubs with their doors and arms wide open to welcome you for a refreshing beer or two (or more, if you’re so inclined). Pubs are the perfect spot for both midweek and weekend brunching, lunching and dining, and whether you remain fixed to your seat for the duration of your session or use a pub as a spot before heading on to one of Brisbane’s coolest bars matters not.
Because you can be guaranteed of a good time either way at any of the cool pubs in Brisbane that we’ve picked out, where you can sip on some of the finest beers from both domestic and international markets and pair them with some equally delightful food. Your new Brisbane watering hole awaits.
