Overview
When Howard Smith Wharves opened up its patch of the riverside to Brisbane, it also welcomed its own hotel built into the cliffs beneath the Story Bridge — complete with a bar perched right on top. That place to stay has changed owners in 2021, but rooftop watering hole Fiume remains a highlight. Here, you'll drink cocktails and tuck into share-style Italian snacks with a view of the Brisbane River, and while sat next to Crystalbrook Vincent's sky-high infinity pool as well.
On the food menu, bites span natural oysters with red wine vinaigrette, oven baked brioche with black salt, balsamic an olive oil, a Mooloolaba prawn roll with dill and pickled cucumber. Or, there's three different grazing boards that serve up to six on offer — including one vegetarian option — that combine a number of dishes.
The drinks lineup covers a significant range of fruity spritzes, both classic and creative cocktails, and liqueurs from Tamborine Mountain Distillery — plus Italian brews such as Peroni and Birra Moretti, and local sips from the neighbouring Felons Brewing Co.
And if you're wondering about the setup, daybeds sit by the pool, or you can choose between stools under umbrellas by the balcony's edge, getting comfier in lounge-style seats or sitting at the bar.
