Milton - Brisbane Destination Guide

Milton is a beautiful suburb that borders the Brisbane River and the city. It’s a wonderful area with shady streets, lovely parks and beautiful old Queenslander style houses. The area is busy both day and night with many ladies who lunch, business people and uni students soaking up the sun with a coffee. Park Road is a long cafe strip linking Milton Road to Coronation Drive. It’s a great place to stop and have lunch and watch the people parade. It’s kind of like a mini Paris with cafes looking onto the streets and complete with its very own mini Eiffel Tower. Along the street are also more formal restaurants for a romantic night out or late coffee & dessert spots. Tucked between the cafes & restaurants are upscale boutiques selling Australian & International designer clothing and accessories, beautiful home ware stores, art galleries & quiet book shops for perusing.

The Regatta Hotel

Just down Coronation Drive in Toowong is the famous or infamous Regatta Hotel. This is a very old watering hole with the first Regatta Hotel being established in 1874. It’s had a rich and varied history and became popular with University of Queensland students back in the 1960s and the current students still patron the establishment.

Now there is a fantastic entertainment program, new food menus to take you from brunch to dinner and lots of party nights to keep you busy. The pub is especially popular on summer Sunday afternoons for a Sunday session.
