Top, Best & Fun Rooftop Bars in Queensland

"Making the most of its Eagle Street Pier location, Sake Restaurant & Bar is a breezy iteration of Rockpool Dining Group’s popular contemporary Japanese concept. It’s also one of the best expressions of the long-established Sake chain, best experienced through the $110 “omakase”, which is more like a set-menu that’s loaded with the menu’s greatest hits like popcorn shrimp with yuzu mayo, a chef’s selection of sashimi, miso ‘Glacier 51’ toothfish, and Tajima wagyu strip loin.

"Gerard’s Bistro claims to be one of Brisbane’s best bars, and there are thousands of people who’d not disagree. Brisbane is not short of bars but how many bars do you know that have the best charcuterie in the city?. Only the one: Gerard’s!"

"Brisbane may not have the Eiffel Tower or the Taj Mahal, but we do have the Story Bridge, and we think that’s still a pretty romantic view, especially since you’ll be too busy looking into your date’s eyes to take in the view from Alchemy’s floor to ceiling window anyway. Whether you’re looking for an a la carte evening or something new and exciting with the degustation menu, the scallops with smoked pancetta with lentils, marjoram, Jerusalem artichoke foam and porcini crumbs is guaranteed to secure you another date, no matter how awkward the conversation."

"Alchemy Restaurant Brisbane provides some of the best waterfront dining experiences Brisbane has to offer. Stepping inside this Brisbane steakhouse, guests will be greeted with a warm and sophisticated indoor-outdoor venue that overlooks the Story Bridge. Complimenting a gastronomic selection of classic and contemporary, Alchemy features a range of wagyu, dry-aged and pasture-fed cuts that pairs exquisitely with their long list of Australian, New Zealand and European wine options."

"Also located in Brisbane’s Eagle Street, the Alchemy Restaurant offers beautiful views to accompany your meal. The restaurant offers a variety of dining options, including a La Carte menu, a Degustation menu, a vegetarian menu, and more. Enjoy the sweeping views of the Brisbane River, Story Bridge, and surrounding cityscape."

"The lavish Emporium Hotel couldn’t be closer to the best theatres and museums in the city and is within strolling distance of Brisbane River and South Bank Parklands – but we won’t judge you if you don’t go anywhere. The Emporium is seriously tempting, with flashy red decor, an Art Deco piano bar with live jazz, a French patisserie and one of the best rooftop bars in the city. All just steps from your opulent bedroom, which comes with a hand-crafted bronze bar, silk wardrobes and a glass-walled bathroom that can be made private with the flick of a switch."

"Infinity rooftop pool at the Emporium Hotel South Bank, Brisbane. Large guest rooms and one of the hottest rooftop bars in Brisbane are among the most appealing attributes of the 143-room Emporium Hotel South Bank—as is the stunning rooftop infinity pool. In the heart of the South Bank leisure and arts district and just a block from the Brisbane River, the Emporium’s location is one of the best in town."

"With larger than normal rooms and one of the hottest rooftop bars in Brisbane the 143-room Emporium Hotel South Bank is glamour – painted red and gold – all the way. Digital displays on walls, ceilings and lifts throughout the hotel add visual interest, and frangipani flower motifs set the tropical tone."

"The Zoo is Brisbane's most long standing live music venue/nightclub and cater to the more independent end of the musical spectrum. In any week you could see anything from beats, hip hop, jazz, rock, and pop to acoustic, folk, dub and reggae. 711 Ann Street Fortitude Valley, Queensland Phone (07) 3854 1381"

"The Zoo claims to have the ”BRISBANE’S FINEST LIVE MUSIC VENUE” but a quick look through the list of acts, to be honest I didn’t recognise any of them. Not that this is important, you are out to meet single girls. The bands look to be quite alternative and all the photos I found online were mostly men."

"Beautiful old-world rooms, much larger than today’s norm, and a location on the edge of the Brisbane Botanic Gardens make this 1960s hotel an enduring favourite. With 145 rooms, Royal on the Park counts business travellers, families, honeymooners, rock stars, politicians and holidaymakers among its clientele."

"This Thai restaurant with a prime Brisbane CBD location offers a delectable array of dishes you won't find anywhere else in Brisbane"

"These guys love brownies too, and we love them, actually, we heart them. The brownies here are all heart-shaped and come in the classic and more abstract flavours like jaffa, mint and maple pecan. There’s also a dairy-free option and everything is 100% gluten free, so it’s practically a vegetable."

"This is a niche store that aims to make the perfect brownie. It offers its customers a range of delicious brownies in 12 different flavors. These include the Dairy-Free Chocolate, Raspberry, and Vegan, and their platinum range which consists of the Nutella and Salted Caramel."

"It’s hard not to get sidetracked in a bakery that so effortlessly does it all (we’re talking preserves, pastries, and irresistible counter treats), but keep your eye on the prize, because Cake & Bake’s display cabinet is chock-a-block with masterfully-crafted cakes. Take our word for it: nothing will win more brownie points than a dense chocolate and hazelnut cake sprinkled with dried rose petals."

"Cake & Bake presents the best of Brisbane in a take-home offering, using produce sourced from Jocelyn Hancock (the owner of Cake and Bake)’s childhood home of Braeside, as well as a network of local farmers. Her new shop showcases an ongoing commitment to quality, care and attention to detail with fantastically looking and tasty cakes."

"Flour & Chocolate Morningside proved so popular that they opened a second location in Northgate to feed their adoring customers. Serving up a wide selection of patisserie, breads and savoury baked goods, mouthwatering treats like cinnabuns and gonuts, as well as their new DIY baking packs to try at home, there’s something for everyone at Flour & Chocolate."
