Overview
What's better than one new drinking spot? Two of course. You think so, we think so, and the folks behind the latest additions to the Brunswick Street mall do as well.
Not content with livening up Fortitude Valley's bustling centre with a new pub, the folks behind Finn McCools have gone a step further. When the Irish-themed establishment throws open its doors on May 20, it'll also come with a laneway offshoot. That'd be The Causeway.
Think of the former as a modern twist on the kind of welcoming watering holes everyone wishes they could spend many an evening in, complete with traditional meals, taps flowing with Guinness and Kilkenny, and live entertainment from Thursday to Sunday. Then, think of the latter as their hip sibling, serving barista-made coffee by day, sweet salted caramel martinis by night, and gourmet breakfast, lunch and dinner offerings whenever the mood strikes.
As far as one-stop boozing hotspots go, they've got all bases covered. Being spoilt for choice is a pretty good problem to have — as is struggling to pick which bar to hole up in for the night.
