Meet GreenHill Bar, the New Brisbane Eatery Matching Its Menu to Its Playlist

Food and music are two things everyone picks based on their mood; however, the cuisine you eat doesn't always influence the songs you listen to, or vice versa. Crafting a menu that will grow and adapt based on their fortnightly-changing playlist, Petrie Terrace's new GreenHill Bar aims to change that.

Just opened right next door to frites and burger joint Fritzenberger, GreenHill Bar kicks off with a culinary selection overseen by former Little Larder head chef Geordie Smith, including twice-cooked lamb ribs, and baked brie with orange, sage and cranberry molasses — as well as tunes curated by local musician and songwriter Luke Peacock. Expect both to evolve regularly, which is a great excuse to keep coming back to the industrial-themed space, though we think their drinks list might inspire the same reaction.

We're sure it isn't made in bathtubs, but none other than moonshine is a feature of GreenHill's beverage range. They're calling it an "all new, out-of-the-box experience for patrons to experiment with" — and it's certainly something you won't find everywhere. Those feeling less adventurous can opt for craft beers plus indie wines and spirits, with the grape-based tipples rotating seasonally along with the meals.

And if you're wondering about the name, it stems from the area's not-so-well-known past. Before the site across the road became the retail, restaurant and cinema complex that is the Barracks, it was a police barracks — and before that, it was GreenHill Gaol, Brisbane's second purpose-built prison.
