blow my whistle If watching the world and people go by is as attractive to you as it is to me, The Pig N Whistle in the Queen street Mall Brisbane is a great spot for a meal. The sports-lovers bar is smack bang in the middle of Australia’s busiest pedestrian area with good old English style food and Australian cuisine with a high quality à la carte twist. This venue is open 24 hours a day and has two very different areas; there’s the conservatory for sit down food, inside or out, as well as an open-plan sports bar area with English beers, bar food and live sports on the screen. pignwhistle.com.au
No habla Español The only people who don’t like tapas are the criminally selfish or those who inexplicably hate tomatoes! For some reason these people exist but that just means more tapas for the rest of us. Peasant in Brisbane’s inner west is an excellent, Barcelona-style tapas place and a great way to start a night out. Cling desperately to the bar or take your food and drinks outside. White rum margarita and homemade meat ball heaven. peasant.com.au
Keep it in the family Family Nightclub is full of beautiful people and great
tunes on the weekends. Don’t be fooled by the name, best to leave your mother at home when you go to this one. thefamily.com.au
