Very funky bar in Brisbane. I had read great reviews on yelp and decided to give it a crack with a…read moregroup of friends. Drinks were well priced and they had a solid collection of wines. They had a huge TV screen showing the rugby in the back lounge which was a big hit with the group. The atmosphere of the place was cool and eclectic with its exposed Brick and wooden floors. I loved it The show stopper however was the food. We thought we would just order a few starters and then order mains later. Well, let me tell you... We did not need mains!!! The starters were huge and so tasty. The sweet potato fries were delicious. The nachos and smokey delight and the buffalo wings the piece de resistance.

Litse serves a brilliant dinner menu, to say in the very least. Even though it had a recent menu…read morechange, the place is still synonymous with amazing quality food. It's a family owned and run business that brings sunshine and happiness to all locals. And by sunshine and happiness I mean an awesome range of starters, tapas, and desserts. There's literally anything to satisfy any palate from crispy chicken, fish, salads, haloumi, pork, beef, and the most fantastic chips with aioli sauce that I just can't resist whenever I go there. Vegetarians and gluten intolerants don't despair, Litse has menu options for you too, with an impressive amount of options being gluten free and healthy. You can also choose a cheese platter from 10am onwards which makes someone like me squeal in delight. Litse also has a range of wines for those enthusiasts, but also a kids menu for the little ones. There is something for everyone and it all has a touch of easy sophistication. You'll pay more for mains here - in excess of $20 and sometimes up to $30 - but for an indulgent meal, it's well worth it. Litse also has an all day breakfast menu with traditional bacon and eggs, omelette, and free range eggs on sourdough, just to name a few options. Sample a dessert and let them recommend a wine to complement it. At Litse, I'm almost certain you'll have the best possible experience. I love it here and I always have.

The first time a friend of mine told me to meet him for breakfast at the Great Northern Super…read moreCentre I was a little suspicious. I was expecting that the place he mentioned, the Liste Lounge was going to be some type of tip rat burger place. Man, never in my mind have I ever been willing to be more wrongly surprised. The place had a Mediterranean lean to it, with its earthy painted tones. The staff who welcomed us appeared to be happy to be there. I was more than ready to eat. I mean if these people were convinced they were working on a Saturday, I was ready to be served. I ordered a flat white, an orange juice and traditional bacon and eggs with a side of mushrooms. Price wise, it was a little expensive but what they brought out was worth it. The bacon was crisp and not oily, eggs cooked to my request perfectly and the mushrooms hinted with garlic and seasoning a winner. The Coffee was made exactly how I wanted it and was a great drink to accompany my meal. I left Liste with a little less money than what I'd hoped to spend but the service and experience proved to be my reward.

Okay, while this place is strictly a whiskey bar, and I tell you what, they have a huge selection…read moreof whiskey as well, if the bar is anything to go by, they do also have options of non-whiskey drinkers like me. Yeah, basically you can get a beer here, and it is pretty decent beer as well. However, this is one of those places you come to if you like whiskey. Still, I personally quite liked the bar, since the atmosphere, and the beer, was pretty good.

Cobbler is a new comer to the bar scene in West End. A gorgeously appointed space, lit with candles…read moreand Edison globes, the sweet sounds of French Chill and Trip Hop greet you, and welcome you in. The ground floor gives way to a grand timber bar, and an impressive wall of over 175 whiskeys, with barmen greeting punters and mixing some stunning cocktails, under the gaze of the vintage penny farthing adorning the bare brick walls. Cobbler has become my favourite midweek haunt for a quick cocktail (or three) with friends, and it just does not disappoint. The staff are gifted when it comes to their craft, and are gracious in recommending a new drink, or trying a different mix of an old favourite. It's a strictly BYO Food affair, but it only adds to the charm of the space. There's an upstairs lounge with recliners, and a internal deck that overlooks the space below. With drinks named like 'The men of the night's watch', and the 'Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster' it's clear Cobbler doesn't take itself too seriously, and it leaves it up to its drinks to speak for it. Parking is a challenge, but hey, welcome to West End. If you're up for a quiet drink, or a fancy yourself a whiskey enthusiast, I challenge you to find a more enjoyable place to sip, contemplate the world, or just people watch.

Free Texas Hold Em Poker Fridays at 6pm. $10 lunch meals. I would have to say that this little pub is not so little, not so daggy looking inside as it is from the outside and has a little bit of something something for everyone. (See the Tradie Wednesdays and Fridays... Kids eating free on Thursdays) We had the ever popular Grazier's Steak here the other day (a cut above the rest apparently) and it was really yummy! We would definetely be back. We paid top quid for our steak, I had the rump from $26.95 but you can go up to the mid 30 range for a better cut of meat. It's a decent size, and comes with salad and chips or potato and vegies... you can mix and match up if you want. My only complaint is that if you want more gravy (the mushroom is really nice) it's an extra $2. Come on, you charge premium steak prizes, you can't scoop more gravy for me from that big vat out the back? My steak actually came out well done the first time I ordered it, when I told the waitress I wanted it done medium, she didn't hesitate, took it back and brought me a perfectly done medium steak in less than 15 minutes. Good stuff. Good meat. Good atmosphere... good high chairs!

Standard tavern fare. Food service is always good and quick, but not table service…read more Food is decent quality, steaks cooked how you ask. not much on dessert side. Inside decor is dated, we usually sit outside. The playground is great. Sometimes gets busy (like Friday nights) so worth booking. The bar service is usually pretty average - can never tell which bar they will serve you at. If you don't get served in a few minutes, try another bar - they won't bother telling you you're in a non-service area, just look at you silently. For a weekend steak place you can rock up to in casual gear, this is perfectly satisfactory.

Now it's home to some trance nights and I hear strong reports that the Step Inn is still a good place to get loose. The space is a little awkward in that the different sections of the pub are organised strangely. There's not much seating in any of the rooms outside of the corner bar, and even then it's not really comfortable. The beers are relatively cheap, and if you see a good gig, you won't have that much to complain about. It is a rough and ready pub, and you should perhaps come there a little rough and ready yourself.

They've got a few areas packed into the space; the first, a separate bar area where more unknown bands play, the other an open area complete with a stage, snooker tables, old school arcade games, and pokies. It's a great venue to frequent if you want to support local Brisbane bands, but make sure you eat dinner beforehand. They don't serve food here and don't welcome it either; my chips and I were booted out the door. Besides that, they don't have many strict rules besides wearing hard soled shoes.
