After launching a successful string of bars and cafes across the southern states, rugby union legend George Gregan and his wife Erica have opened their first two venues in Queensland, The George Bar and Bistro and GG Espresso in Brisbane City. Occupying the lofty space where Philip Johnson’s Bistro One Eleven once stood, The George Bar and Bistro can be found on the ground floor of its inner-city building. Serving breakfast, lunch and dinner Monday through to Friday, the bistro is ideal for a catch-up with colleagues or knock-off drink. You can work your fork through a selection of tapas dishes, charcuterie boards and truffled chips, or settle in for a main course. You’ll find Asahi and Burleigh Brewing Co.’s Duke Helles on tap, as well as about 25 wines by the glass.
