    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.

They're also one of the few nightclubs that still stay open until 5am. They have shows games and a variety of competitions almost every night. Cover charge is reasonable and you can get in for free until 1030 most nights. They also have a free bbq on Sunday's around 630-7 which is great. If you've never been, you should give it consideration. You'll be in for a good night out.

    So I've read some pretty bad reviews about The Beat but I've gotta say, I was pleasantly surprised!…read more Being open to new things, I was stoked that my three friends who attend the beat on the regular asked if I'd want to come to "the best gay club". Arriving before 11pm on a Friday night meant half price drinks and of course we couldn't pass that up. The line was fast moving and we got in with no cover charge (about 10.45 pm). Music was great, but very loud. PSA there are stairs upon stairs inside this night club. I made the mistake of wearing platform heels which later in the night lead me to "gracefully" tripping over one of the smaller staircases and falling down completely, made a pretty sweet recovery though. The bartenders on both the top level and the bottom level were great! There was some great energy going around. The drink prices were the best part. We all ordered vodka lime and bitters which didn't exceed $4.50 each. The bathrooms were decently tidy and the lines weren't obnoxious. I loved that the photographer made it a point to take multiple photos of almost everyone in the club and also showed them to us for approval (a girls best friend). After leaving and then coming back around 2 am, there was a cover charge. I think about $5? But don't quote me because I don't remember. I do remember though, the drink prices stayed consistently low even into the wee hours. Overall, I had a blast at The Beat. Great energy and awesome staff and fellow club-goers. I won't hesitate to make another fun night out of this place.

    Tucked away near an alley, The Bowery is a bar that offers the best drinks around Brissy. It's…read moreinterior is a bit dark and mysterious, and a bit reminiscence of what one would picture a something in a U.S. 20's scene, though not quite. I think it's just that it reminded me of Bourbon and Branch in San Francisco, which takes on a speakeasy atmosphere and serves amazing cocktails and drinks. When I was there, they had a band, which was a bit loud for how big the place was, but it was fitting for the atmosphere. The drinks don't come cheap (about $20 a pop) and isn't much of a party atmosphere, nor is it good for dancing, but it's definitely a casual classic bar for a close group of friends.

    My first visit to The Bowery was a great one but since then, each time has been subsequently less…read moregreat! I agree with all the reviews that there is no place to dance but the music is great and makes you want to dance. In addition, I waited ages for drinks and then on my way back to the table, other patrons ran straight into me knocking 1/2 of the concoctions out of the glasses. :( I basically paid for 4 drinks and ended up having 2.5 drinks to give to my friends. That's really terrible. If they could expand the space between the bar and the benches, everyone would be a lot happier. If you can find a booth or seat to chat with friends, it's great but if not, making space can be a bit tricky. I like it but I don't think it's my go-to in the Valley especially after my last experience.

I planned to take some of my colleagues here for dinner sometime during the week hoping to enjoy dinner and not focus on a night life, party scene. We all spent a good 10 minutes or so just walking around inside like some tourists (well, we are). The inside was fascinating. There is so much going on, but I could not quite figure the cloud reference. Inside it looks more like the home to poison ivy circa Batman and Robin. I chose the schnitzel with a beer for dinner. All of the meat came pre-cut, as you would with a toddler. It wasnt a bad thing, it was nice, but unexpected and not normal. The schnitzel was large and very tasty. There was a faint salty flavor without going overboard. There wasnt any gravy; I'd never had schnitzel dry before, but it wasnt bad. Definitely recommending the schnitzel to anyone who likes breaded pork. We decided to stick around for dessert. I chose the Vanilla custard pizza, almond flakes, chocolate sauce, chocolate ice cream. It was so big! It was like a real pizza with chocolate sauce, almond flakes and ice cream in the middle. I had to share it, but it was very good. During dessert, the DJ set up and a gentlemen came down to lead a salsa, line dancing segment. I am guessing this is a normal thing. Several people participated in the dancing, taking their cues from the gentleman in the front. It looked like a lot of fun and something you could do either as a bachelor or out on a date. Awesome place, easily the most visually pleasing restaurant in Brisbane and the food was great too.

They have a great lunch menu - daily $12 lunch specials from Monday to Thursday, and the other a la carte options are just as great. Full wine list, and great beers and ciders on tap. Food is always great here. Staff are really friendly and helpful, and provide great service. Love the fact that they let you split bills - always good when you have a large work group at lunch.

For a place for younger people to come and have a drink at its probably not the most encapsulating place to go. As for food that's another story. From the outside, The Albion Hotel looks pretty impressive and the dining menu at night sees a lot of people coming to its kitchen for a quality meal. Because I'm here at lunch I'm deciding on a their burger that comes with thick cut chips and a special beef patty with secret spices. When it comes out, I need to recheck the menu and confirm that the kitchen has forgotten the bacon in my burger. I send it back and its returned in a couple of minutes with extra chips. The burger isn't too bad but there is something about the special spices that make it something I most likely will be ordering again.
