Looking For The Best Things To Do In Brisbane?

2. Cloudland

It’s like nothing else. In fact, you might want to visit their website to get a better idea of how glorious this place is, because we’re not entirely sure that we can get its glory across in just a few words.

Think of how a bar would look on Pandora (the planet in the movie Avatar) – add gold, red and fuchsia.

Then add vertical gardens, a waterfall, large chandeliers, various levels and two distinct bars.

Finish it off with VIP booths and various function and event spaces for weddings, concerts and the like – and you have Cloudland.

Food and drinks? As exceptional as the decor. Address: 641 Ann St, Fortitude Valley.

3. Dandy’s Rooftop Bar

Our first experience of Dandy’s Rooftop Bar was as pedestrians quite happily minding our own business way down in the street below.

We had seen a show at nearby QPAC and were gingerly strolling back to our car. At first we heard the beat of the music. As we got closer we heard singing and laughter – lots of laughter – followed by the chink of bottles and glasses. We looked up, spotted the bar and an enormous glitter ball.

A psychedelic light show bounced off hundreds of wind chime contraptions hanging from the bar’s ceiling and before we knew it, we wanted to be there.

So we climbed the stairs and joined in. You can too on Fridays 4pm until late and on Saturdays and Sundays 2pm until late. Address: 71-73 Melbourne Street, South Brisbane.
