Brisbane Bars and Restaurants That Are Undeniably, Unabashedly Romantic

Low lighting, jazz playlists, opulent cocktails, breathtaking views — these date spots will help you to start planning the perfect Valentine's Day.

Brisbane Bars and Restaurants That Are Undeniably, Unabashedly Romantic

Alright, alright. So we've sat here all day grumbling about Valentine's Day, about manufactured romance, about disingenuous, 'love' related holidays and the atrociously high price of roses. Words like 'phooey', 'poppycock' and 'hell naw' have been bandied about.

Pay no attention to the phones under our desk, messaging that special someone, planning a little get-together later on. If we run into you at these undeniably romantic, unashamedly snuggly Brisbane bars and restaurants, don't be too harsh on us. We love love.
