Tippler's Tap Is Moving and They're Throwing a Party to Celebrate

First, the bad news: one of Newstead's favourite hangouts is closing its doors. Now, the good news: they might be saying goodbye to the unlikely Masters Street spot they've called home since 2012, but they're about to say hello to South Bank.

Yes, Tippler's Tap is jumping from an industrial complex to one of South Brisbane's favourite eating and drinking precincts, shifting its rotating lineup of beverages and permanent menu of American-style sliders, baskets and sandwiches to fancier digs. Don't worry, their famous wings, ribs and $2 tacos are moving along with the rest of their mouthwatering morsels.

If you've visited their sister venue, Tomahawk Bar, then you've actually been to their new location already. Tomahawk will disappear forever, but a few of its food and drink offerings will live on at the revamped space, with Tippler's 2.0 salvaging as much as it can from its original site for the refurbishment of the Grey Street spot.

And, in the bar's typical style, they can't leave their current surroundings without marking the occasion. Before the doors close at the end of trade on Saturday December 19, regulars can soak up the classic Tippler's experience one last time. Just bring a healthy appetite, a hefty thirst and plenty of good memories.

Head along to the Tippler's Tap farewell party from midday on December 19 at Unit 1, 22 Masters Street, Newstead. From early January, find the bar at 5/182 Grey Street, South Brisbane. Visit their website or Facebook page for more information.
