Coffee, craft beer and Chicago-style eats – Tippler's Tap opens on James Street

Coffee, craft beer and Chicago-style eats – Tippler’s Tap opens on James Street

By James Frostick 14 Jun 2018

Last week James Street celebrated a homecoming of sorts. Newstead-born craft-beer pioneer Tippler’s Tap has travelled back over the river to establish a new venue underneath Sage Hotels, bringing with it its heralded selection of local beers and filling fare. The new-look venue comes with a few enticing additions as well, including a lip-smacking breakfast menu, specialty coffee service and a huge Chicago-style deep-dish pizza that you’ll need a friend or two to take on. more

What’s on in Brisbane this weekend

14 Jun 2018

Our southern neighbours may have just come off the back of a long weekend, but we’ll get ours when October rolls around. To celebrate the fact that we are strong, superior and made it through a five-day working week (not bitter at all over here), we suggest getting out and about to enjoy all that our city has to offer. From burger invitationals to curious incidents and winter warmers, here is what’s good in Brisbane on the June 14–17 weekend. more

Kick out the jams at New Farm’s grungy bar and diner Hellbound

14 Jun 2018

The dust had barely settled on Brunswick Street’s Deathproof before it was announced the hideaway would be resurrected as Hellbound. The cosy and cool space has retained Deathproof’s rockin’ aesthetic, but has turned the volume up with a locally focused beverage offering and punchy food menu. If you like your beer cold and your music loud, Hellbound invites you to take a walk on the wild side. more

The Weekend Series: take a trip to some of Southeast Queensland’s historical pubs

We’re typically the first in line when it comes to checking out the newest and hottest bars, but our pants would catch fire if we tried to suggest we didn’t also enjoy old-school pub atmosphere. The country pub is an Australian institution – pillars of the community that provide ample cheer to go with its cold beer. Southeast Queensland has a stack of history-laden pubs that are well worth experiencing, and we’ve whittled down the list to a tight five to check out the next time you’re itching to hit the road and explore. more

The round-up: where to find Brisbane’s best pho

14 Jun 2018

When we rank our favourite noodle soups, number one would have to be pho, fo’ sho. We’re not promising that this round-up won’t be littered with soupy puns, but when your brain craves noods it’s hard to resist. Brisbane is flush with fantastic Vietnamese restaurants, all vying for the title of Brisbane’s best pho. Everyone’s got their own pick for the best pho in town, making this one of the most contentious lists in recent memory. We’re not confident we can name the best, but we’re damn certain we have a world-class selection – here are our picks. more

Multi-level entertainment precinct Topgolf swings into action with its flagship Australian venue

14 Jun 2018

If you've driven past Warner Bros. Movie World and Australian Outback Spectacular recently, chances are you've spotted Topgolf – let's be honest, those striking blue neon lights are pretty hard to miss. After months of anticipation, the multi-level entertainment precinct will officially open to the public this Friday June 15. We had a sneak peek inside the innovative, state-of-the-art and rather sizeable new venue – which is the first of its kind in Australia – so we could swing you all of the details. more

Celebrate the icons of Brisbane fashion at this stunning sartorial series

14 Jun 2018

Brisbane’s fashion scene is absolutely killer, but our town often suffers from a lack of events that let our talented designers shine. It’s rare for our city’s sartorial set to be gathered in one place, so when an opportunity pops up we get all kinds of giddy over it. If you consider yourself a fashion-forward individual, a lover of beautiful clothing or simply love an excuse to dress up for an evening, we have some news that is bound to excite you. On Thursday July 12, Treasury Brisbane is celebrating our city’s best and brightest designers with the launch of its ICON fashion series. more

Stuff your face with picture-perfect pastries from The Pie Hole

14 Jun 2018

To ‘shut your pie hole’ is to be quiet, but when the pies are so good we’re more inclined to declare our love from the tops of the tallest buildings. The Pie Hole is a cheeky new entrant in Brisbane’s market vendor scene, delivering freshly baked pies of the sweet and savoury variety and frankly the only time you’ll hear us shut up about it is when we’re stuffing our own pie holes. more

LÉ BUNS brings sexy back to basics with its eco-conscious intimates and swimwear

14 Jun 2018

When it comes to undies and swimwear, we have a lot of things to consider – but our search often boils down to a range of criteria that is hard to meet. Does it look cute? Is it ethically made? Will this ride up my bum? So many questions! Merging comfort, sustainability and aesthetics is no easy feat, but the brains over at LÉ BUNS have managed to deliver the complete package with their killer range of eco-conscious basics. more

14 Jun 2018

When it comes to a great day out, there are a few key ingredients that we like to include. Delicious food is a given, fantastic drinks kick it up a notch, a spot of shopping certainly doesn’t go astray, and something to keep the kids occupied is just the cherry on top. If this sounds like your idea of a nice time, we have something that ticks all of the boxes. On Sunday June 24, Portside Wharf will come alive in a flurry of food, fashion and family-friendly fun for its inaugural Flavours of Portside event, celebrating all aspects of the precinct in signature riverside style. more
