Mr & Mrs G Riverbar is the perfect combination of classy and fun. Located in Brisbane’s CBD, Mr & Mrs G provides a killer view as it looks over the Brisbane River. It’s a bit fancy up in here, so we recommend this place when you and your friends are wanting to glow up and enjoy a drink or two. Mr & Mrs G has a great drink menu as the owners have a passion for spirits and cocktails, so you know you’ll be treated to some punchy and fruity beverages. The owners, being so passionate, will even create your own signature poison for you picky peeps. Check this place out during the summer for scenic views, fancy vibes and good drinks.

Beer Gardens are like super cool, yeah?

With heaps of hanging plants, fresh open space and a beautiful view of the water and the city, South Bank Beer Garden is where you and your friends need to be this summer! With happy hour Monday to Friday between 4 – 6pm, it’s also the perfect after work destination for those of you in the area.

There’s nothing that screams summer more than heading to the beach, attempting to get a tan, finding sand in the most unusual of places and swallowing way too much salt water. After a long beach day, you’re definitely going to need a refresher! And the South Beach Social is the perfect place to do so. Obviously don’t rock up in your bikini and flip flops, but we recommend you check this place out after a long summers day or after you’ve spent the day at Brisbane’s Street’s Beach, as it’s just across the road. They offer a great beer and wine list offering drinks that are both local and international, their stand out however is their cocktail list, jam packed with cocktails inspired by the beach – tropical AF!
