Every Sunday since early June, Gerard's Bar has been throwing shawarma parties. From the name, you obviously know what's on the menu. For Brisbane Good Food Month, the James Street spot is giving the concept a tiny tweak — because, from 2pm on Sunday, July 25 only, you'll get something to eat and a cocktail for $30.
On the food side of things, you'll be tucking into whichever type of shawarma takes the venue's fancy on the day. It has been rotating through brisket, Hawaii chicken, harissa pork neck and machoui lamb neck, if you're wondering what might be in store. Also included: sumac spiced chips with tahini mayo, because every shawarma needs a side dish.
As for a beverage, Gerard's signature Beirut punch will help you wash down your meal.
