Overview
Nestled into South Bank's River Quay, The Jetty boasts one of the best locations in Brisbane thanks to its waterfront frontage and river vantage. Not content to rest on its picturesque laurels, the bar and eatery has undergone a huge revamp — changing its layout, menu and opening hours.
Visitors to the long-time favourite will find a new layout that separates the venue's dining and drinking areas, providing two spaces in one. Pull up a stool at the L-shaped bar for a few afternoon or evening beverages, or take a seat in the restaurant for a leisurely meal. Amidst the timber, metal and tiled decor, the choice is yours.
The fresh look and newly demarcated sections come with fresh menus to match, courtesy of chef Rhett Willis. Bar selections include oysters, salumi and soft-shell crab, plus panna cotta, chocolate brownies and sticky fig pudding for dessert, while sit-down options range from starters of papaya salad and charred beef rib with chilli caramel, to mains of wagyu burgers, steak frites and nicoise seared tuna. As for tipples, carafes of punch, Pimms and sangria sit alongside coconut espresso and lemon and vanilla martinis, as well as eight other cocktail concoctions and a hefty range of beer, wine and spirits.
Further, in good news for people who like their breakfast and coffee with a scenic view, The Jetty South Bank has become the only shop on the restaurant strip to open at 7am daily. Early morning offerings include pastries and takeaway caffeinated brews.
It's been a big few months for places called The Jetty — now, or previously. The Jetty South Bank's renovation and new food range comes hot on the heels of a big change for the place formerly known as The Jetty Oxford, which was rebadged and revamped as all-day Italian joint Il Molo back in May.
