First, a confession: Eagles Nest isn't strictly next to a body of water. Stick with us though, because if there's a next best thing — or a potentially even better thing — then it's this. This bar is only a block or so away from two Kangaroo Point stretches of the Brisbane river, and it's 12 storeys up on The Point's rooftop. That means a bird's-eye vantage of everything from the CBD to New Farm, including the windy waterway in the middle.

It might only be open two days a week — every Friday and Sunday from 3pm — but we'll take our sweeping, high-rise river vistas whenever we can get them. Particularly at sunset.
