Meet GreenHill Bar, the New Brisbane Eatery Matching Its Menu to Its Playlist
Curated tunes and evolving food, all washed down with moonshine.
Food and music are two things everyone picks based on their mood; however, the cuisine you eat doesn't always influence the songs you listen to, or vice versa. Crafting a menu that will grow and adapt based on their fortnightly-changing playlist, Petrie Terrace's new GreenHill Bar aims to change that.
Just opened right next door to frites and burger joint Fritzenberger, GreenHill Bar kicks off with a culinary selection overseen by former Little Larder head chef Geordie Smith, including twice-cooked lamb ribs, and baked brie with orange, sage and cranberry molasses — as well as tunes curated by local musician and songwriter Luke Peacock. Expect both to evolve regularly, which is a great excuse to keep coming back to the industrial-themed space, though we think their drinks list might inspire the same reaction.
We're sure it isn't made in bathtubs, but none other than moonshine is a feature of GreenHill's beverage range. They're calling it an "all new, out-of-the-box experience for patrons to experiment with" — and it's certainly something you won't find everywhere. Those feeling less adventurous can opt for craft beers plus indie wines and spirits, with the grape-based tipples rotating seasonally along with the meals.
And if you're wondering about the name, it stems from the area's not-so-well-known past. Before the site across the road became the retail, restaurant and cinema complex that is the Barracks, it was a police barracks — and before that, it was GreenHill Gaol, Brisbane's second purpose-built prison.
