Brew

Brew is my current favourite bar. I still love the Bowery and the Lark and the Junk Bar but Brew is my new fave. They have happy hour on Thursday and Friday between 5:30pm and 6:30pm. Five dollar beers and basic spirits. The food is good too. Most dishes come in both tapas and main sizes and are reasonably priced. My standard is the chorizo and bean cassoulet thingy they serve. It's wunderbar. Excellent with a Four Pines Pale :) The staff are friendly and have a wonderful capacity for maintaining social niceties whilst being efficient and hard working. It's a rare thing in a new bar. I've never received attitude or got the impression that the staff are anything other than awesome. The crowd here is interesting too. A real combination of young new professionals and arty types and the obligatory presence of both orthodox and liberal hipsters. There are many sleeves and many pencil mustaches. Older farts would feel very welcome also. This egalitarian air resonates throughout the place and results in a bunch of folks that genuinely seem to just be out for a good time. There is little of the posing that is often coupled with a new bar on the scene which is a refreshing change. I put this down to the crossover in the drinking populous of the bar. Be sure to visit. It is a great little bar and is a welcome option in the sometimes restrictive choice of the Brisbane eating and drinking landscape. Google Brew, Brisbane CBD.
