Alfredo's Pizzeria Is Set to Become a Rotating Cuisine Supper Club

First up at Alf's Place will be Texas-style barbecue.

After four years of serving up hot Italian slices, 39 Alfred Street has a new purpose. Or, to be accurate, the Fortitude Valley address has several. A changing array of food and drink pop-ups is now on the menu as Alfredo's Pizzeria becomes a limited-time supper club.

In a case of goodbye to one AP, hello to another, Alf's Place is the space's fresh moniker as it gets into the revolving bar and eatery game. Launching on September 14, it'll kick things off with two weekends of smokey barbecue, before serving up two more of late night eats — and, opening its kitchen to young, up-and-coming chefs and bartenders, there'll be more where they came from.

Focusing on Texas-style meats, Sticky Fingers Smokehouse will do the inaugural honours from September 14-16 and 21-23, in the latest venture from ex-Two Small Rooms and BLVD whiz Josh Lawson. He'll be cooking up seasoned, slow-cooked pork spare ribs, grain-fed beef brisket, pulled pork and smoked sausages — with sides of spiced fries, black peppered coleslaw, potato salad and mac 'n' cheese, all on a walk-up-only basis.

Next, over September 28-30 and October 5-7 comes the Midnight Dining Club, which will operate from 11pm until 2am. Ex-MasterChef contestant Danielle Dixon will change her offerings nightly, as well as letting patrons concoct their own dishes from a list of 'pantry' ingredients (whatever that means).

When Alfredo's Pizzeria shut its doors in mid-August, it did so with little fuss, but its new incarnation won't stay quiet for long. It is the latest venture from busy hospitality entrepreneur Damien Griffiths, after all, who has brought everything from Alfred & Constance and Kwan Brothers to Limes Hotel and Les Bubbles to Brisbane — as well as Mister Fitz's ice cream sandwiches and the now-everywhere Doughnut Time.

Find Alf's Place at 39 Alfred Street, Fortitude Valley from September 14. Head to the venue's website and Facebook page for further details.
