Always live local music, craft beers, and large wine selection. If looking for a home grown Brewery go to Brisbane Brewing Co. This is a harder one to find but Cobbler is a whiskey bar that packs out with locals. Known to have the best bartenders in Brisbane.

Possibly one of the best cinemas in Brisbane, tickets are way cheaper than normal and food is also decently priced. Sushi bar conveniently located to the left of it, so no shortage of food options. Arcade area is the largest I have ever seen in any cinema I’ve been to, nearly as big as a stand alone arcade. Huge screens but seats can get a bit dirty from my experience. Overall, this is a great cinema and it’s worth a shot trying out.
