I recently learned that Howard Wright-- a major investor and director of this establishment--was…read morefined for driving "in a dangerous manner" in an incident that involved a 12-year-old boy on an e-bike. A joke of a punishment for the crime. On video you can see this sick man speed up in a Audi, intentionally, to hit a child on a bike on the side of the road out of traffic. He proceeds to scream at the child, while the child pleaded for his life. I hope karma does her magic. Even more concerning is how Mr. Wright seemed to justify his actions by blaming the child's bike as "illegal," rather than genuinely acknowledging the danger and illegality his own driving posed. I expect higher ethical standards and community responsibility from anyone at the helm of a hospitality business. While the restaurant itself may serve somewhat average food or drinks, I personally cannot support an establishment whose leadership shows such disregard for safety and empathy--especially when a young child's wellbeing is at stake. Until clear accountability and genuine remorse are demonstrated, I'll be dining elsewhere. If you care about patronizing businesses that reflect your values, I would encourage you to consider taking your money and support elsewhere, too. The experience at these venues sucked before these events occurred too, every other option nearby provide a way better experience. Terrible for family photos. Terrible lighting

There are heavy curtains hanging and behind one lot of curtains was the pool table. Tables and chairs a plenty so your sure to get a seat. They have a small nibble menu and the Italian meatballs were full of flavour and came out in this cute cast iron frypan with bread on the side. I ordered a Peroni beer and fell over backwards as it arrived in a 500ml glass. They also had a special going that is you order a pizza and two 300 ml Peroni beers you pay $25. This cafe wine beer bar had friendly staff and is an Italian bar. Definitely worth a visit if you want to meet up with friends over a quiet drink.

The pours on the wine were very small. We only tried the Korean pork belly and it needed a little more flavor and to be crispier.

Recommended for a splurge, and nice views of the Brisbane skyline from across the river.

Decor was gorgeous and the coffee was yummy, pastries were delish and sandwiches were tasty. Definitely enjoyed it! Staff was friendly ;) the only con was that it wasn't as formal as we'd thought.

In fact, I found that this particular bar did happen to have quite a bit of character about it. Okay, it was a little dark inside, but that is something that I have come to expect, and it is also easily missed, though from the crowds inside that doesn't seem to be the case, though I suspect it does have a lot to do with word of mouth, if that happens to count these days. Still, as a bar, this place wasn't all that bad.

The End released their new winter cocktail menu a week or two ago, and if there's one thing that…read moremakes me giddy with joy, it's a warm cocktail on a cool winter evening. The "Winter Warmers" section of the menu is short but sweet. Mulled Wine or a Hot Toddy for $14, or toasty warm rum (either Hot Buttered or Milk Punch) for $15. With Bacardi Oakheart spiced rum, dark cacao, spiced brown sugar syrup, chocolate bitters and yes, butter, I couldn't go past the Hot Buttered Rum. I watched the bartender cut off a slab of butter and drop it in the little saucepan used to make each individual drink, and I knew it was going to be an exciting time for me. The drink came served with two marshmallows and half a scotch finger biscuit (snapped lengthways, well done) and a warning - "let it cool for a bit, cos it's really f*cking hot". I truly relished our time together on the couch, accompanied by a bun from the Bun Mobile, parked outside for the evening. The marshmallows got absolutely annihilated in the (correctly described) really f*cking hot liquid and I highly recommend dunking the scotch finger. Knowing Brisbane's weather, I advise you to get in quickly for a Winter Warmer, because soon enough it'll be too warm outside again for a hot drink to seem anything but insane.

Walking the area we came across Tso in the old "The Apo" space and we're intrigued by the cool history as Apothecary Hall and a Brisbane Heritage building. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, would rank them as among the best. The interior space is also really nice, with the upstairs a cozy area especially for winter months. However, I found the menu uninspiring. Perhaps it was the descriptions, but it didn't follow a clear theme. The cocktail menu was also surprisingly basic - no real specialty cocktails that were unique and worthy of a mixologist title. Overall, had a good experience and appreciated that they were open during the holidays!
