Bella Notte Italian Restaurant & Bar - Rosalie

Posted: Saturday, January 13th, 2007 @ 1:21 am in Restaurants & Cafes, Reviews | 14 Comments »

I took a leap of faith today and ate somewhere I’d been warned against. My faith was rewarded with mixed feelings, a heavy stomach, a walk uphill and a consolation coffee.

Lock ‘n’ Load Bistro West End

Posted: Monday, October 9th, 2006 @ 2:50 pm in Restaurants & Cafes | 8 Comments »

West End has gone mad. Seems like West End is the place to be these days, and more and more businesses are taking notice. Sure not all survive, (case in point : Zomba having shut its doors for one reason or another) but that doesnt seem to matter as more and more restaurants and bars […]

Ahmets Licensed Turkish Restaurant
Shop 10/164 Grey Street
South Bank
Brisbane
A lot of the time I choose to eat out because I’m looking for a new experience, I’m looking to be excited and taken beyond my expectations. Admittedly, every diner wants a good, dependable restaurant to incorporate into their eating roster. But I’m yet to […]

Cirque Cafe, New Farm

Cirque Café
618 Brunswick Street
New Farm

There’s nothing like a gorgeous, sunny Sunday to make you want to pack yourself into a small crowded room and fight for elbow space while you carve up your bacon and eggs on an unforgiving slice of thick-crusted bread.
Well, there’s nothing I’d rather do more!
Cirque Café, tucked in on […]

Monastery Nightclub Fortitude Valley

Posted: Tuesday, July 25th, 2006 @ 5:37 pm in Clubs & Bars, Reviews | 3 Comments »

Last weekend was really big, I was at The Family Nightclub on Friday night, listening to the great sounds of DJ Tydi till around 2:30am. If you’ve ever been to The Family on a friday night, you would have most probably heard him play. As far as my opinion goes, I think he is one […]

Girder Bar Teneriffe

Posted: Saturday, July 8th, 2006 @ 8:30 pm in Clubs & Bars, Reviews | 4 Comments »

Yes, Teneriffe, I know its scary isn’t it? So much for the traditional West End, Fortitude Valley or Brisbane City venues! This one is all the way out in Teneriffe. Picture my surprised face when we finally found Girder, on what appeared to be an upper-class version of Milton’s Park Road. Sure there was no […]

Breakfast in West End

Posted: Friday, June 30th, 2006 @ 8:21 pm in Restaurants & Cafes, Reviews | 9 Comments »

Its nice to have a routine sometimes. Something to look forward to every week. I used to always find my self at The Family Nightclub on Fridays and in The Sunbar on Saturdays. The Family never got boring, The Sunbar did. Times have changed, I am not at Family as much as I used to […]

The Shadow Lounge
1 Eagle Street, Eagle Street Pier,
Brisbane Queensland, 4002
For a long time now, the City’s nightlife has been a dead end for me. For years I haunted The Victory Hotel and the Exchange…even City Rowers. Now they just haunt me! So for two years now I’ve been spending my Saturday nights skulking in the […]

Riding the lazy Sunday afternoon wave, looking for a watering hole and a line to nibble, we found ourselves reeled in and washed up at the Spark Bar in the Brisbane Powerhouse in New Farm.
