Gin and Tonic Garden Party

Overview

Summer might be over, but the sun still shines and the weather is still toasty during autumn in Brisbane. So, if you're keen on finishing up your weekend with a few drinks outdoors — and by the water, because that's one of the great things about living in a river city — that's still well and truly on the agenda.

At Byblos at Portside, throwing in a few G&Ts is also on offer, with the bar hosting weekly gin and tonic garden parties. Stop by every Sunday in March from 3pm, and you'll know what you'll be drinking. There'll be a few new and different cocktails on offer, too, with names such as 'Storm Season', 'Portside Paloma' and 'Phoenican Tonica' — all with Fever-Tree providing the mixers.

Entry is free, but bookings are essential. You'll also get a soundtrack to your Sunday afternoon hangout session, thanks to a DJ and a live saxophone player. And, sticking around while the sun sets is heartily recommended.
