Overview
If you've ever been to South Brisbane's Hoo Ha Bar, knocked back a coffee or beer and thought "this joint needs more food", you're in luck. The folks behind the happening Tribune Street spot share your line of thinking, and are parlaying it into a new venue on the other side of the inner city: Gaslight Bistro.
Making its home in a renovated old Queenslander in New Farm, Gaslight Bistro will be all about fresh ingredients and flavourful meals. The name gives away its focus on eating rather than drinking, though thanks to a curated beverage list of craft brews, local wines and cocktail concoctions, the latter is certain to be a feature, too.
Casual but tasty dining is its niche — aka the kind of informal place where you can drop in for a delicious bite and hang around for some good times if that's what takes your fancy. The full menu is yet to be revealed, but will focus on seasonal delights. Given its winter launch, that means the likes of slow cooked ham hock and beef shank for breakfast, wagyu pastrami and pickles for a snack, and braised octopus for dinner, first up.
Come the end of the month, you can sample their wares for yourself — and then probably add it to your list of favourite hangouts, based on their previous endeavours. Doors open on June 26, and if you want to be one of their first customers, we suggest you get in quick. This new addition to Brunswick Street is certain to be popular.
Find Gaslight Bistro at 726 Brunswick St, New Farm from June 26, or visit their website for more information.
