Drinks & Nightlife

Atmosphere and cool interior, bar tenders are down to earth and do everything with style. They know their cocktails, and top shelf liquor. Make their own beer, a rainbow beer, and a coffee beer. Delish !! Beer on tap, super duper music and perfect vodka martini... and sometimes a live band. Another beer garden "Bosc." two doors up plays great music.

Lovely to stroll along the river at dusk or dawn. There are bicycle and walking paths to Orleigh Park, Hill End. You can take a ferry from Orleigh Park to the beautiful University of Queensland. Jacaranda trees fill Brisbane between October to January.

Pretty views across the Brisbane River, great for reading a book under a giant Moreton Bay Fig tree, a BBQ or taking the dog for a run.

Arts & Culture

The David Lynch "Between Two Worlds" exhibition was held here, and in 2018 the Gerard Richter exhibition was held here. It has an amazing permanent collection on rotation, and the building itself is spectacular. Amazing Art Library. The Queensland Art Gallery adjacent to GoMA is a must-do if you want to see Queensland's rich artistic history.
