Every dive bar needs a beer garden, plus a deck, retro lounge, rooftop space and ample bamboo and AstroTurf too. You'll find all that at Fitz + Potts, as well as a funky hangout that's as relaxed as its location. We don't just mean its spot on Nundah's Sandgate Road — we also mean its breezy vantage on the second storey of an old Queenslander.
Indeed, the décor of 70s wares screams instant chill, whether you're nestling into the kind of couch your grandmother still has, or settling in under a beach umbrella and next to a pink flamingo. If you need some more help forgetting your worries, a screen playing movies can probably assist, particularly if you like flicks from the 80s.
Yes, there's more to Fitz + Potts than meets the eye — which includes a 100-percent plant-based menu. It's serving up pizzas, jaffles, sliders, rice paper rolls, bao, loaded chips and more, all without meat. And, because this place is dog-friendly, you can even nab some snacks for your pooch.
Drinks-wise, choose between a beer or cider on tap, a vegan wine or a selection of cocktails. The latter includes six types of martini, plus plenty of old faves like mojitos, whisky sours, old fashioneds and sangria.
