Home Brew? How Dare You!

175 George St (Cnr Elisabeth St), Brisbane

Irish Murphy's is the only venue in Brisbane that provides live music seven days a week, to be sure. With this level of dedication to live entertainment, not to mention an Irish dedication to drink, you'd be crazy to go anywhere else... except home safely at the end of the night.

Wintergarden Shopping Centre, 171-209 Queen St, Brisbane

An Irish Pub is an Irish pub, right? Not so. Unless it's been smuggled into Australia brick by brick from Ireland in bags of potatos. Luckily, O'Malley's Irish Pub in Brisbane was built exactly this way, making it one of the few authentic Irish watering holes this side of a shamrock.

230 Wickham St, Fortitude Valley

The Elephant and Wheelbarrow recently won an arm wrestle to become the best live band venues in Brisbane. A well deserved honour indeed. Great pub meals and 21 beers on tap make this venue a hit with locals and homesick pommy backpackers.

200 Main St, Kangaroo Point

This sleek and modern bar holds many attractions for locals and visitors alike. Much like its previous incarnation, the Story Bridge Hotel is built on a solid foundation of booze, decor and service.

577 Settlement Rd, Keperra

Comfy booths and a host of entertainment and eating options means this pub stays rowdy every night of the week.

2 Kingsford Smith Drv, Albion

One of the most famous pubs in Queensland, The Brekky Creek Pub was built in 1889 by Lord Mayor William MacNaughton Galloway, who died falling out a second floor window while drunk. You should avoid doing that.
