"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."

"It's beyond cliche to throw the term "dining experience" around in regards to fine dining establishments, but there are few better ways to describe what makes Market Street's Malt such a standout - the relatively high price of admission carries with it an experience that is simply first class in every regard. This is a restaurant that simply exudes elegance, from the soft lighting to the high end, rustic decor to the live piano that provides a classic backdrop; no expense has been spared in making dining at Malt a memorable event thats based around more than simple food consumption. The ambience thus makes it an obvious and reliable choice for any special occasion that's worth remembering, with the seating also being intentionally limited to provide the optimal amount of space between tables and lending itself to romance."

"Small cocktail bar that has a relaxed vibe, it’s dark and opens relatively early, around 5pm. Maybe worth hitting early in the night, milking it for what it’s got then moving on fast. Their website isn’t currently working, we only have the facebook page for you at the moment."

"Formerly part of the Queensland Treasury Building, the Treasury Casino and Hotel is a very popular destination for tourists who are looking to have some fun in the city. Presenting expansive spaces, this casino is a must visit for first-time holidaymakers in Brisbane.

"The Museum of Brisbane is the place to go to get a fuller understanding of the vibrant art, culture and history of life in Brisbane through a schedule of art and social history exhibitions, workshops, talks and tours. Found atop the Brisbane City Hall in a custom-built space, the free museum is not only central to conversations about the evolving life of Brisbane but also allows an unparalleled view of two of the building’s heritage features – the Clock Tower and copper dome."

"The Museum of Brisbane is a top-rated destination here in the city. If you want to learn about the contemporary and historic art that Brisbane has to offer, this is the art gallery and museum that you should visit. Here, you can take part in art programs and social history exhibitions."

"At the Museum of Brisbane, you can learn about the history of Brisbane through interactive displays, photos and film. The exhibits are changing all the time so that no visit will be the same. This Brisbane Museum also has various activities designed just for kids."

"At the very top of the Wheel Of Brisbane is the best seat in the house for families to admire sweeping views over Brisbane City, South Bank, and the winding river between them. Initially opened in 2008, the Ferris wheel stands at a height of 60m and includes 42 capsules to fit the whole family. Over the 12 minute ride, you’ll spot many of Brisbane’s most iconic attractions while marvelling the breath-taking 360 degree view."

"If climbing Story Bridge is a bit ambitious for you, then the Wheel of Brisbane also offers epic 360-degree views over the metropolitan city and the hinterland, but from the relative luxury of an air-conditioned pod. Soaring over the skyline, you can choose to take a ride on this iconic Brisbane landmark during the day, at dusk, when the sun is setting, or at night with all the city lights."
