Sundays at Byblos

Overview

Summer might be over, but the sun still shines and the weather is still toasty for most of the year 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 cocktails over Mediterranean bites is also on offer, with the bar hosting weekly Sunday Sessions. Stop by from 3pm, pull up a seat with a riverside view and get sipping — and listening to either live R&B tunes from Vibe Creators or the vocals of Lady Red.

Entry is free, but bookings are essential. And, given the location and the timing, sticking around while the sun sets is heartily recommended.

Also, when there's a cocktail called Hugo Weaving on the drinks list (a mix of Hennessy VS, elderflower, sparkling rosé cordial, mint and soda), that's worth a visit alone.
