    Was really excited about heading to this place on the first night. Went with some friends from work who are more than familiar with the wing offering around Brisbane. We couldn't get a table at the restaurant so we had some drinks and wings at the bar. As most of you would do this used to be the location of the Belgian Beer Café, a really great old building. New owners had a great chance to do something really cool with the interior but alas it's hardly changed. With the way it's laid out its really not going to work and verge on uncomfortable once you get a Friday night crowd in here, but that's not the real problem. Wings here were terrible, verging on average! We tried 5 of the 19 or so flavours, of which could be described as weak (buffalo) mediocre (dry garlic) burnt (cola salt toffee) and underwhelming (BBQ). But by far the worst were the pictured "hellhound bad boys". After the bland buffalo wings we thought the next level of hot, but these were biological weapons of mass destruction. I can normally handle hot with the better of them but these were stupid. With any luck it was first night jitters, but I woulda thought they'd start with a bang, not a whimper from the seasoned proprietors of Mighty Mighty. Not heading back in a hurry.

    The venue's nice and spacious, with tones of light blue and brown. Great for groups. The service is pretty good. Food usually comes out in about 15 minutes and the wait staff always seem to be in good spirits and friendly. The chicken wings are cooked well. Nice and tender. Flavour-wise, my favourite would have to be the chipotle and garlic salt (so far). It's super tasty. Their hoagies are quite amazing as well. The Southern Gent is delicious, with a yummy buttermilk slaw, soft bun and fried chicken. The onion rings and sweet potato fries are hands down some of the best I've had :) Will definitely be back for more.

    Ok so 4th of July party is a nice gesture but at least hang up the flags the right way. Also when you order a full order of wings and you ask for two types of wings they make you order 2 half order that combined costs 4 dollars more and then only come out with half the sides.... This place gets one star for the beer selection and one for the cute bar mades.

    Oh my complete goodness!!

Jam-packed with people of all ages from all the countries the beautiful world has to offer. Only catch is, you can only get in if you're a traveller or student (ID/Passport required) and if you're a girl. Although we have snuck the odd guy in with a bunch of girls with much success. It helps if you know the bouncer. They play music with the likes of Love Shack, Horny, Addicted to Bass and a lot of songs popular all over the world with the kids in the 90s era. They do go back to Dancing Queen and Mr Wendal as well and boy can you boogy to the tunes of this place. Be prepared to have some form of alcohol spilt on your fancy clothes every time you go there. Be prepared for people dancing on tables (even though they've banned it). Be prepared to body squish your way from the dance floor to the toilets and then back to the dancefloor with very willing body squichers - usually from Braz-eeeel (Brazil) and write a note on the wall to your ex-lover in the toilets and pretty much throughout the whole bar, on the walls, on the furniture... everywhere. Leave your memory here for free. This place will always hold a special place in our hearts, yes it's not posh, it's rather backpackery... but that's how we would like it to stay. Join in the songs with your hearts and hands and sing and dance to the wee hours to an awesome DJ with various glow in the dark articles through his hair. People have fun here, and that's what being young and travelling the world is supposed to feel like. Footloose and fancy free.

    This place is perfect for what you should expect: A bar/grill in the middle of the city…read more Firstly and probably its main attraction - it's got crazy good location! But the layout of the place is even better! It is a basement bar, half of it outside and the other half kind-of-inside. Very spacious, clean and with good selection of beer (albeit mostly mainstream beers, but a lot of them). Very comfortable, with some big TVs and also music. Good people watching too. The food is good, not amazing, but you can't expect amazing in such a central, tourist-y area. I had the wings and they're a solid 8/10, at least. Service was great too. Shout out to Elise behind the bar.

I have been…read morehere a few times, at least when I was previously in Brisbane, namely because I thought that their beer garden was really cool. However, like most of the pubs in the CBD, this one does close quite early (though late enough that I was able to slip in here for a drink one night). There is nothing fancy or flash about this pub - expect the standard beers on tap - no craft beers. It also has a pokies area and a bistro, though there is a pool table tucked away in one corner. The beer garden is pretty cool as well, but unfortunately for the smokers it is not the designated smoking area. During the day it does get fairly crowded (though I have never noticed anybody out in the beer garden, despite it being a pretty nice day), but it was fairly quiet when I was there.

But sometimes it's good to get reckless and a bit silly over some beers and some really, really terrible love music. Irish Murphy's doesn't necessarily have bad music (I'm also a sucker for an accent, especially Irish) but they certainly have the collective crowd keen on getting drunk and roaring along to an inaudible and stereotypically perfect karaoke song. Maybe it's the fact that Irish Murphy's adopts an appearance actually like an Irish pub, but I can't help but have a little fondness for it. I have to search for the fondness a little but believe me, it's there. It's just an ideal place to gather around a table and sling back a few casual (or not so casual) beers and get a little messy and fun. And when you've had a few, who can't join in with the crooning and tuning of the blokes on stage? The beer's fairly cheap, the company's not half bad, and the entertainment isn't sot stale either. I'm not trying to sound begrudging here, because like I said, I do have a soft spot for Irish Murphy's. I just like to be with a larger group of people and get a little silly in the name of fun. If you're after slurry banter and Irish accents, Irish Murphy's is the place to be.
