Where everybody knows your name - Brisbane Restaurants and Bars - Eat Drink
From morning to midnight and back again, EAT/DRINK is FourThousand's guide to cafes, bars and restaurants in Brisbane. We know the best coffee because we drink 20 a day (each), we know the good restaurants because we can't cook, and we'll tell you where to find hidden bars and other places that still let you smoke so that we can ask you for a cigarette when you get there. EAT/DRINK is as voracious as our appetites and a much better filter than our livers, which stopped working a long time ago. Email your EAT/DRINK suggestions to: talk@fourthousand.com.au
Brother Espresso
Our humble CBD is not really the place one thinks of when it comes to hipster cafes, but local haunt Brother Espresso is out to make you think again. Tucked away in the no man's land between the commercial precinct and the botanic gardens, it's the little touches that make this place so undeniably charming.
Tongue & Groove
As a one-time employee of the establishment I can say with confidence: Tongue & Groove is a gem of place. As laidback as it is vibrant, as trendy as it is grunge, this is definitely one of our city's coolest cafes. On weekend mornings it's a thriving community hub, positively bustling with locals out to grab breakfast and catch up.
Nectar
Nectar owner, Kris Miles is more than your average beer drinker. He's obsessed. What's more - the man loves to cook, knows good wine and his beer shop even stocks chocolate beer. Nectar joined West End's Boundary Street buzz 2 months ago, pulling the cap right off on the best beers from allover the world and landing right on the demand for more variety in beer in our fair city.
Verve Cafe
In all things arty and creative, it seems 'underground' is better. The less people who know about you, the more likely you are to rack some street cred points. (This does not however apply to solitary guitar strumming in your bedroom).
Perhaps Metro Arts had this in mind when building their resident cafe and bar, Verve.
Java Coast Café
Nestled in the shade of a dozen leafy giants is a collection of tables and chairs. They form part of sanctuary of sorts, tucked neatly between city walls that adjoin a boutique cinema and nondescript retail. This touch of tranquility is the courtyard of Java Coast Café, one of Brisbane's most distinctive café experiences.
Alibi Jnr
Everyone's favourite New Farm hangout spot—The Alibi Room —has given birth. That's right, the bar renowned for bringing us mid-week boozefest "Taco Tuesday" has just become the proud parent of Alibi Jr. It’s a smaller, cafe-orientated (read: non-alcoholic) offspring of Alibi, located adjacent to the The Outpost in the back lanes of Fortitude Valley.
