Brisbane Bars - Best Hotel/Bars in Brisbane



It used to be a time when all you could do in Brisbane was drink at Hotels. Thankfully times and laws have changed and a whole new breed of establishments have opened up. The legacy of these times are fabulous, old, large hotels that have now been renovated into beautiful new drinking venues. This list is a testament to the grand old days of architecture and the new ways of design.

1. The Story Bridge Hotel - 200 Main Street, Kangaroo Point
2. The Emporium Hotel - 1000 Ann Street, Fortitude Valley
3. The Caxton - 38 Caxton Street, Brisbane
4. Broadway Hotel - 93 Logan Road, Woolloongabba
5. Exchange Hotel - 131 Edward Street, Brisbane
6. Jubilee Hotel - 470 St Pauls Terrace, Fortitude Valley
7. Port Office Hotel - 40 Edward Street, Brisbane
8. Grand View Hotel - 49 North Street, Cleveland
9. Embassy Hotel - 188 Edward Street, Brisbane
10. GPO Hotel - 740 Ann Street, Fortitude Valley

It was due to the pioneers of these venues that we have such a great drinking culture today. I love how the old can become new and how in and out of fashion styles, themes and trends can be.
