Brisbane..good pubs and restaurants please...
Hi
Were coming up to Brisbane from Sydney, on the easter weekend to sample some of your lovely city.
Doing a bit of sailing out of Manly with Solo sailing adventures.
Need to find some excellent pubs and restaurants to take our first visitors to.
Yep we've only been here 3 months ourselves and the visitors are arriving already. Only got the beds delivered from the UK last Monday!!!!!!!!!!
So anyone who does lots of
and :PARTY: would be
if you can let us know where.
Cheers

Mrs Dagboy has just mentioned a few on the Ladies Night Down Under thread - might be worth a look if you want to drink and dance!

Most visitors end up wanting to live here
Have a great time while you are here.
Pollyana's tip is good, you will be entering Mrs D's territory

Ackkkkkk I wouldnt take visitors to any of those Polly, they are suitable for a riotous girly night out, but arent what I would consider good pubs or restaurants! LOL.
Suggestions (where exactly are you staying? some may be too far away)
Breakfast Creek Hotel - good steak
Bretts Wharf (seafood)
Brekky creek wharf (seafood)
Cheers (good pub that does fabulous pizza!)
Lat27 http://www.lat27.com - a bit too new modern for my tastes, but the food was excellent!
Manly Hotel (if you are down that way)
Fish Cafe at Maly (ditto)
Felix with Flames (Manly again) - Nice food
Probably heaps of others, as I said it depends on what you are looking for & where you are. But those are a start .

Well, it woke you up anyway!!!
Shall keep that list as well, maybe one day I can aspire to decent eateries (other than Cheers, which DOES do fab pizza!)
Nice to know you are sending us girlies to the seedy end of town

Ohh somewhere else that does nice food is Dicey Rileys at Mt Gravatt, Town Square at Garden City.
Even Polly can vouch for that one as well

Thanks

Mrs Dagboy and Pollyana. looks like we can have a civilised night and a riotious one then!
Apparently I'm being taken fishing with the boys....that should be an experience.
I'll let you know how it goes if I make it back.
Cheers

surely the norman in woolloongabba has the best steak in brissie?? i liked lat27, then there's ecco just around the corner.
in the valley/new farm there's tibetan kitchen (great), thai on brunswick, himalayan cafe. chinatown has heaps of.... well, chinese restaurants (and korean/vietnamese, etc) avanti (italian) at bardon...
as for pubs.... the list depends on what you like. the valley has the best selection, having some dingy pubs, some snobby pubs, some meat-market pubs, and some relaxing bars.

much like the rg in the valley has the 'best dinner in australia' claim. i've tasted their food, and it wouldn't even be the best food when comparing with the left-overs bin from most other food establishments (including curry-in-a-hurry, which thankfully closed down)
the norman goes by reputation........
but i guess any place can be classed as good or bad. my mother thought sizzler was the best steak she'd ever had last time she visited!!!
but the boatshed by the regatta in toowong does do a fairly decent steak, and you have two of my favourite pubs in walking distance. the regatta and the re (although the regatta lost some of it's draw when they refurbished it - though the male toilets are quite funny..........)

Our local pub in Victoria Point, "says" it has the best steak in Brisbane, in all its advertising. Not been there yet though, it only opened a couple of months ago.

I ate in the Regatta Christmas Day 2002, just two weeks after arriving, and was very disturbed by p***ing against the one way mirrored glass wall watching the other diners!
