    Great local bar and grill. Rotating selection of drinks, food rotates seasonally. Fantastic service, very customer focused.

    Normally I'm pretty good at keeping secrets, but in this case, I refuse. I wish this gorgeous…read morelittle place wasn't so isolated but I guess some of the best shops are. It's easy enough to find and very easy to identify with clothing out the front. There are also some old bicycles out the front with so much vintage quality that the first image that came to my mind was Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck haphazardly riding one of them. This place is littered with all things Vintage: on the walls, on racks, hanging, draping, sitting, resting, everywhere. There's even a lovely little record player you can marvel at. It's obviously a house that's been transformed into a shop and every room you move through is a new adventure with new things to play with. There's a sweet little selection of clothing and I didn't see one item of it exceed $40. And the tag not only features the price of the piece, it also identifies what era it belongs to. Lovely. Boys, be happy too; in other shops you're usually assigned one rail if you're lucky. Here, you get a whole room complete with cowboy boots to try on. Grab a coffee while you sing along to "Under the Boardwalk" and then take some time to pop downstairs and browse the furniture. The back stairs give way to a den-like basement that holds this part of the store with things including an old keyboard, television, suitcase, and a bundle of chairs that look like they were lifted straight from your grandma's living room. This place is the collective creation of two lovely ladies who obviously live and breathe all things vintage, and I'm definitely a fan of their work. It's a novelty little place with so much charm and potential. Massive snaps to whoever did their design and logo as well, because that was a really enticing factor for me.

    Hey, I'm not a big vintage clothes buyer so posting a review here is probably a little cheeky. I…read morejust wanted to add my 2cents though and say that I'm very VERY pleased that the girls here stock clothes that are size 12 and 14. There is a very cool vintage clothes store in West End that also posts pics of their wares on Instagram and Facebook but I've notice it only seems to have size 8 and 10. Huh? Marilyn Monroe would be disgusted! So, thank you CYKAS - keep stocking 12s and 14s. Us 'real' curvy women will love you forever. And keep posting your clothes on IG and FB. You have the best stuff. For the record, I ended up buying a beautiful wool cape which I wore to a wedding recently. Now a firm favourite in my wardrobe.

    Upstairs we waited in a typical pre-Summer Brisbane, sweltering in 35+ degree weather. 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.

    What could be better than an underground, intimate bar that has one of the most ridiculous rum…read morecollections going as well as the ability to make just about any cocktail known to man ? An underground bar that feeds you massive bowls of free popcorn and cashews laced with what can only be a combination of sugar, Tabasco sauce and unicorn tears - that's what! 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.

Look for the sign boards to guide. You go here as the coffee is good and it has a pleasant vibe in a secluded spot. They have been here for a long while so doing something right. Worth exploring.

    What a fabulous find down the alleyway! Big kudos to my friend who suggested this location…read more It was the first night they were a bar so we decided to check it out! They were super friendly and let you enjoy the space and your company. They serve you water as soon as you are seated and then ask you what you'd like. I had the Lucy while my friend had the Coffee Ale. The sizes come in Pony, Mare, or Stallion! My friend loved the coffee ale. I'm not the biggest beer fan but the Lucy was light. We started to chit-chat with the bartenders and they showed us this chili vodka! He had me at "Chili..." My friend had the Bloody Mary and she kept raving how it was tomato soup for adults. She loved it! The bartender was great and nervous about creating a drink for me. We went with a pineapple chili vodka with a touch of mint. Yum! It needs some fine tuning but the foundation is set. We were having a great time and as if beer to vodka wasn't enough, we moved right along to tequila! Yes, some quality tequila and verdita. I'm a huge fan and they explained to us how quality tequila is for sipping. We didn't want to leave but the time had come. Thankfully, I know I'll be coming back very soon. Thanks for a great Introduction.
