Well, it just happened that the one time I decided to check this place out just happened to be that…read moreone time when all of Queensland descends upon a certain stadium to watch two teams battle it out. So, you can probably guess that this place was pretty packed. Still, ignoring that one day of the year that I just happened to be here, this bar was still pretty cool, and they even had some decent beers on tap as well.

What a fabulous first experience at Brewski! My friend and I decided to venture here for a catch up…read moredinner and drinks and boy did we make the right choice on a Tuesday evening. We rocked up and grabbed a table not knowing if we were to order at the bar or if staff would bring us a menu. FYI: You just order at the bar! We grabbed menus and they had quite the beverage list with beers available on tap (which you can also sample if you ask nicely). The food menu was one page and had a handful of entrees but the rest of the menu was pizza! They had your traditional ones with ham and pineapple or margarita but I was eyeing more of the interesting pizza like 'Wil Feral' and 'Mad Man Chilli Spank' and we decided on the chill spank and then a prawn pizza to even it out. Since it was Ten Bucks Tuesday, we decided to order a couple of pizzas to share and get to chatting. When our pizzas came out, they were the same Vampire Mad Prawn except one was with the death (spicy) sauce. I explained to our server how we had ordered the Mad Man Chilli Spank and he told me that two prawn pizzas were written on his order form. Before I could reply, the lady who took our order asked what was the situation and corrected it immediately by saying they would make another pizza right away and apologized for the inconvenience! Talk about great customer service! No fuss and immediately took care of the situation. She even offered to box up the other prawn pizza for takeaway! The Mad Man Chilli Spank is NOT for the faint of heart. There might have been some tears at the table but I rest assure you not from me. The pizzas are super thin with a nice crispy crunch and the toppings were tasty as well. The salami for the chill spank was tasty and I am so glad it was on there to diffuse some of the heat. The porter beer was a huge hit and they also had little creatures IPA, white rabbit white ale, and pip-squeak apple cider on tap. Great place to hang out with friends, catch up with someone special, or have dinner and drinks. They were super friendly and I will definitely come back!

Alright, a grunge bar, though I did know that this place was around here. Still, this is one of…read morethose bars that I literally fell in love with at first sight, and fell in love again when I walked inside and found some awesome beers on tap. In fact, the beers were certainly the type that you really don't see around the place. Needless to say this place is nothing short of awesome.

I hosted a pub crawl and my friend suggested a visit to Scratch. The place is very chill and…read moreeveryone is welcome. They want you to have a great time and taste quality craft beer. They have new beers on tap all the time so every time you come, it'll be a beer-venture! They welcome for you to taste the beer before purchasing which is awesome! I tried the apple cider they had on tap that was pretty tasty. Another cool thing about Scratch is that they let you bring your own food to eat while you drink or Arrivederci nearby will deliver! They REALLY sold me with their beer-infused ice cream! The ice cream comes from Lick! and I had passionfruit ice cream!! Perfect combination and great way to cool down from the Brisbane heat. Awesome place with awesome staff. If I had a friend visiting, I would definitely take them to this place because it's unique and chill. Oh and on a Friday, get in early because even around 4pm the place was already packed!

Led down a…read moreshort stair-well and entering into the dark, we appeared to leave Brisbane and be transported to a prohibition 1920s Speakeasy of exposed brick, corridors and a long wall adorned with men with moustaches. This is important to note for reasons unknown. Once underground your modern-day dress almost felt out of place and more akin to an Evelyn Waugh novel. Perhaps you'd be sitting across from a Mitford sister, or some other Bright Young Thing. It all felt a little bit Midnight In Paris when Woody Allen's script sends Owen Wilson's character back to the roaring days of Hemingway. The Walrus Bar (you'll have to visit to answer the question, "Why Walrus?"), headed by Krystal Hart (recently crowned Diageo Reserve World Class Bartender for 2013) and with support behind the bar from some of this town's finest (including a few familiar faces from Canvas), is home to some 300 spirits; rum; cheese and charcuterie and 30 Cuban cigars. As well as my usual cocktail friend (Southsides), I happily sipped on an Indian punch (Panch Phora Punch) which was a rich and seductively easy to drink. This is a rum bar primarily and the majority of lighting within the bar is from the glass cabinets containing every rum you could imagine. Of course, it is never wise to enjoy such decadent drink on an empty stomach and The Walrus have you sorted with a menu of small plates. The Walrus Bar has to be seen to be believed so rather than me waffle on any further - just visit this underground lair which you'll forget resides underneath The Regatta.

Wear your snazzy gear because you won't bet let in otherwise. Bring your friends, devour the cheese and charcuterie selections. Drink things. Test the bar staff. Be impressed with their skills and cocktail nerding. Do it. Do it all.

Saccharomyces Beer Cafe is probably the best all around beer bar in Brisbane. They skew heavily…read morelocal, from breweries featured, and food ingredients, to wine and distilleries. We had this our last stop on our brewery crawl as it's near the main bus depot heading home. It's a gorgeous spot with low ceilings, pleasant lighting, and a great selection of beer. They have beers from around the world and regularly participate in special tappings, but most of what you'll find is from Queensland. This is in the arts area of the city, with many galleries, restaurants, street art, and bars. There's lots of options here for non-beer drinkers too, plus a robust menu of hearty bar foods. I got a tasting paddle, which I thought were large pours for the price. The bartenders were welcoming and quick to serve. They have outdoor seating as well, plus open sides in the hotter months. If you're a beer fan and new to the area, this place is a must-visit. They also have a linked beer store to-go, which also has wine and distilled selections.

Wow! What a find! My favorite place to visit in Brisbane!!!…read more Tons of beer options. They even have Westvleteren (only their #8 and at $55 Aus)! Most beers are Belgian. Some are local. A++ Their Belgian meatball with beer gravy and cheesy mash was tremendously good. Also, try the BGC Bread! A Seating is a bit rough, but who cares with the beer selection. B The location is down an alley with little to it. Look for the brick wall with lush ferns on windowsills and empty kegs.
