It doesn't take much to turn a day at the Regatta into a party — but when the iconic Brissie pub really wants to throw a shindig, they know how to go about it. Enter RegattaFair, the second annual occasion dedicated to three days of riverside food, booze and hanging out.
Basically, it's an excuse to eat, drink and be merry at one of the city's favourite haunts, not that you'll hear us complaining about that. Who doesn't want to wander beneath the fairy lights in the venue's laneway, peruse stalls selling all your favourite stomach fillers and thirst quenchers, and listen to DJ sets and live music in the process?
Anyone keen on wood-fired pizzas (including a Nutella variety) and slow-cooked lamb rolls won't be disappointed — and neither will those after an Asahi, Mountain Goat, Fat Yak, Peroni or Penfolds tipple. Plus, stopping by the warm Rekordelig station, getting your fortune told while tasting rum in the Walrus Club, and sampling amber spirits in the Whiskey Bar are all a must.
