The Triffid Has a Sunny New Beer Garden Deck

Next time you stop by The Triffid, you'll be moving up in the world — and we mean that literally. The Newstead venue now boasts a brand new addition that takes hanging out in their beer garden to a whole new level.

That'd be the just-unveiled deck, a 40-seat hangout space that provides a bird's eye vantage down onto the main floor below. Saying that the timber-filled area offers the best seats in the house is quite the understatement. Who said you needed to head to rooftop and high-rise bars to enjoy a drink with a view? (Not owner and former Powderfinger bass player John Collins, clearly.)

If it sounds like the perfect people-watching spot, that's because it is — as well as a great place for functions and get-togethers, too. And, the new deck isn't the only change sweeping the Triff. Think of it as a mini-makeover.

Whiling away the afternoon with a beverage in your hand just became a much drier and shadier affair thanks to a new roof, while grabbing a Sunday feed now takes on an international flavour courtesy of a $15 'Flame Grilled Meats of the World' menu. Add Saturday arvo DJ sessions to the mix — complete with $10 burgers, $10 band name-inspired cocktails and $10 tallies all afternoon — and Triff 2.0 goes down a treat. Trying not to spend all your spare time there is going to be difficult.
