12 Brisbane Bars and Restaurants That Are Perfect Date Material
Must have: a solid drinks list, good buzz and low lighting.
There are a few things that make a perfect date bar or restaurant. Low lighting is a must, pinball is a plus, as is some kind of booth or alcove and a serious drinks list. If it's a restaurant, it should take bookings; if it's a bar, it should do a killer Negroni. That's non-negotiable. These are the venues we recommend to our date-planning friends. Just try to have a bad night in one of these dimly-lit corners.
