Best Chinese in Town by Far. LongTime is Aussie Thai Fusion. If you are into seafood definitely get the Lobster Coconut Curry.

Junk in South Bank is a fun little place - bringing together a fusion of different flavours from across South East Asia! From Chinese dumplings to Thai Beef Salad, satay to Korean style deep fried chicken! It really is awesome! The staff are chilled, friendly and nice - and you always feel welcome!

Drinks & Nightlife

If you enjoy being social and yummy cocktails then this is the place for you. Order one of their espresso martinis and catch up with friends on the lower level couches or dance to their live music. This place is a great location to start your night before heading into the city.

Great place for a relaxed lunch or dinner, but really excels as a spot to grab a few drinks. Good cocktails, great range of beer and wine and fantastic service.

Eleven Rooftop bar is the place to experience Brisbane's nightlife from above and within. As it is an upmarket venue you must wear smart casual or you may not get let in - great atmosphere, the drinks are reasonably priced, friendly staff and fantastic views!

Entertainment & Activities

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.

Parks & Nature

Great place to have a picnic as a family or with a date. Taking the kids out for an easy free day in nature is great. Plenty of opportunity for them to use their imagination, stretch their legs and have a good night sleep that evening. Japanese Gardens and nature walks are really pleasant. The restaurant/cafe is a good size and has a good spread of basic choices.

One of the best parks in all Brisbane. Huge area of lush Parkland trees benches and Riverside , as well as some small cafes. Very family friendly with a lot of shade for kids to play Under. Very spacious to play some Team games. You can also bring your small picnic and have a nice alfresco breakfast in the park. Definitely make sure to visit the Powerhouse which is now arts and theatrical performances space. Deal so have nice bar and restaurant where you can dine in after seeing some art and cabaret shows.

Arts & Culture

One of the great places to visit if you're in Brisbane either as a tourist visiting or a local yourself. The exhibit changes throughout seasons and they are all interesting. The main exhibit usually will always have an entry price but it's well worth it. You just have to check the website for all the previous ones they have done. Good place to go on quiet dates and get "cultured".

Excellent facility for all of the cultural events that are held. Would recommend coming early if you would like to buy food or drink as the bar can be quite busy during each event.
