Petrie Terrace Will Soon Be Home to a Huge New Two-Level Bavarian Beer Hall

After adding German-themed drinking spots to Chermside, South Bank and Bowen Hills, Rockpool isn't done with its new mission to spread steins and schnitzels across Brisbane. The hospitality group has set its sights on a new location for one of its brands, The Bavarian, which'll open at the top of Petrie Terrace in July.

Situated on the edge of the Barracks complex, the site is no stranger to hearty meals paired with hefty brews — for 26 years, up until April 2018, it was home to the city's most prominent Hog's Breath Cafe. When The Bavarian takes over the currently empty premises, the two-level spot will become a huge restaurant and beer hall that can accommodate 600 people. It'll also feature a mix of indoor and outdoor seating, including in its beer garden.

While further details are thin on the ground, visitors to any of Rockpool's other Bavarian joints — including those on Eagle Street, at Broadbeach and Coomera, and on the Sunshine Coast — will know what they're in for. As well as a range of 40 Australian, German and international brews on top, plus a sizeable schnapps selection, the menu will include pretzels, pork knuckles, sausages and platters piled with meat.

And, although it might seem as if The Bavarian's latest outpost is rather close to its sibling venues in the CBD and just over the river in South Brisbane, setting up shop on Petrie Terrace is a smart move. The inner-city area is already home to more than a couple of watering holes, with two pubs and a burger brew bar just along Caxton Street; however, the proximity to Suncorp Stadium means that there are always plenty of hungry, thirsty Brisbanites in close range.
