Bavarian Beerhaus delivers Ekka-inspired eats and ales aplenty to Bowen Hills

By James Frostick 25 May 2018

It’s a good time to be a beer lover in Brisbane. The paint had barely dried on South Bank’s German-inspired mega pub Munich Brauhaus before the Rockpool Dining Group announced its follow-up venture – a modern beer-centric concept housed within the iconic Royal Snack Bar building in Bowen Hills. Featuring dozens of taps pouring 40 imported and local beers and a kitchen primed to pump out Bavarian bites and Ekka-inspired snacks, Bavarian Beerhaüs is delivering the goods from schnitties and snags to strawberry sundaes and dagwood dogs. more

Enjoy botanical cocktails and plant-based bites at Greenhouse Canteen & Bar’s new South Brisbane digs

24 May 2018

While the plant-based dining boom undoubtedly has Brisbane firmly in its grasp, vegan eating has been a big thing on the Gold Coast for years now. Greenhouse Canteen & Bar was one of the earliest modern adopters of the cuisine on the coast, earning legions of loyal followers (vegans and meat-eaters alike) with a range of approachable, comforting and damn tasty plant-based dishes and cocktails. The concept has now come north with Greenhouse Canteen & Bar opening a new location in South Brisbane, establishing a hip nighttime haunt for dedicated vegans and the culinary curious. more

Follow your nose to Short Order’s sweet and savoury Newstead sanctuary

24 May 2018

Patrons standing on the corner of Skyring Terrace and Cunningham Street have reported a salivation-inducing scent springing from the newly opened Short Order at Haven Newstead, a smart new grab-and-go concept from the team behind Jocelyn’s Provisions. The overwhelming smell in question is emanating from Short Order’s piping-hot rotisserie, which is luring in patrons by the truckload and wowing them with a selection of savoury eats, take-home meals and smooth coffee. more

Tony Albert flips the script on race and representation with his Visible exhibition

24 May 2018

Real talk – white Australia’s treatment and representation of its Aboriginal population is inexcusably bad. There’s no skirting around the fact that things need to change, but the nature of these issues is harrowing, heavy and can be hard to navigate. Someone adding a touch of humour to this poignant topic is Tony Albert, the award-winning Indigenous Australian artist who has carved his own unique path in our country’s cultural landscape. His latest exhibition Visible is coming to Queensland Art Gallery from June 2 to bring a different perspective to the conversation surrounding race and representation. more

Stand out from the crowd with super small-batch jewels from 100 of One

24 May 2018

If you’ve ever been going through a rough patch at work, you can probably relate to the crushing anxiety that can come with it. Practising mindfulness (read: distracting your brain from the bad stuff) is one of the oldest tricks in the book for dealing with stress, but it’s not often that our hobbies turn into hustles. For dentist Jana Nikolovski, making jewellery was a sweet escape that transitioned into a fully-fledged business that utilised her unique skill set in a totally different way. The inspiring origins, small-batch concept and unique manufacturing process are just three reasons that 100 of One should be on your radar. more
