Six Brisbane Pubs Are Transforming Into Overseas Holiday Destinations and Floral Pop-Ups for Summer
Tuck into bottomless mezze at Fridays, hit up a spritz cart at the Regatta and pretend you're in Palm Springs at The Wickham.
Any plans for Greek sojourns or food-filled treks across Mexico haven't quite come to fruition over the past two years, but that doesn't mean you can't indulge in a bit of escapism without leaving home. And, no, we're not just talking about daydreaming and spending hours scrolling through Pinterest.
As it did last year, Australian Venue Co is helping to ease the wanderlust a touch by transforming six of its Brisbane pubs and restaurants into some of the world's most popular holiday destinations for summer. So, you'll be able to pretend you're in Santorini just by visiting Friday's, and do the same with Palm Springs at The Wickham.
Both the Regatta and the Cleveland Sands Hotel are getting in on the fun, too, going with floral and summery theming. And over at Mihi Tavern and Fitzys Loganholme, they're taking their cues from Mexico.

Of course, the visual makeovers — which include flowers aplenty — come paired with appropriate food and drink menus. Think: bottomless mezze, Greek barbecue platters with sangria jugs, sips from a pop-up spritz cart complete with your choice of garnish, drag brunches with bottomless pancakes and beverages and a dedicated frozen margarita zone.
At Friday's, The Wickham, the Regatta and Cleveland Sands, the theming is already in full swing, while Mihi Tavern will kick things off on Tuesday, November 23 and Fitzys will do the same on Thursday, November 25.
