Milky Lane Newstead

Hamburger restaurant

😠 Food & Cocktails were absolutely amazing, however, the lack of service forgetting a soft drink for one of the children at our table, and then forgetting a burger for one of the adults, is unforgivable. When the wait staff told the chef that a burger was missing, he shrugged his shoulders and contin...

Toscano Bar & Kitchen

Italian restaurant

😐 We had a great night at Toscano. The food was good, but it really isn’t special. I have had my fair share of mid to high end Italian food and the food from Toscano is average. Don’t get me wrong, technically the food is good but I wouldn’t come back. The service was hit and miss, we had a excellen...

Dr Gimlette Brisbane

Bar

👍👍 I'd give 6/5 stars if I could. I love everything about Dr Gimlette. The bar is breathtakingly beautiful, posh, classy and elegant. The marble bar, the chandeliers, the leather seats add to the luxurious yet homey vibe and the relaxed ambience of the bar. Delicious cocktails 🥃🍸🍹 and fantastic ser...

Old Mr Rabbit

Bar

👍👍 Probably the chillest vibes of anywhere in Brisbane. I ordered a medium rare rump steak, which came out medium, but i was so chilled by that point i didn't even care. The hoagies are a good idea, not something I've seen on a menu before, and the drinks menu is quite extensive. Didn't have to wait to...

Jungle Tiki Bar, West End, Brisbane

Cocktail bar

👍👍 I wish I knew about this bar sooner, such a fun island tiki vibe, great music, staff were friendly and the cocktails strong but yummy! Update July 2021 - another round of drinks for a large group and the service is still fantastic, the vibe is fun, the ambiance is relaxed and entertaining, the c...

Pilgrim Brisbane

Latin American restaurant

👍 We visited on a night when Elton John was performing and the place was very busy - we had a reservation thankfully. I wanted to come here to try their Feijoada which was OK, not as rich or as thick as I was hoping. The flavour was a bit lacking as well. We did really enjoy their Moreton Bay Bug Tost...
