Brisbane Pubs - A Rough Guide
There are so many pubs in Brisbane its impossible to give a good overview of them all, but there are some watering holes definitely worth checking out if you're new in town, or just visiting and want to get an idea of where the locals go.
The Royal Exchange Hotel (The 'RE') in Toowong is probably the quintessential Brisbane pub, and also one of the most popular. The Regatta Hotel is Brisbane's other quintessential pub, just down the road in the same suburb.
On the other side of town in Kangaroo Point, the Story Bridge Hotel has been quenching thirsts since 1886, and the view across the river to the city is amazing and the history of the place is well worth a read (including bomb shelters and cockroach racing).
The Breakfast Creek Hotel is also a classic, if not over-commercialised establishment dating back to 1889. A list of the other pubs in town appears below, or check out Matt Granfield's (classy) list of the best bars in Brisbane.
