Darling & Co

Darling & Co is a flexible bar and restaurant in Paddington, Brisbane, suited to everything from a casual catch-up to an intimate dinner. Its food and drinks menus change with the seasons, with an emphasis on fresh, locally sourced and sustainable produce. The menu spans familiar pub classics, healthy bowls and light bites, while house-made condiments add a considered touch. Dining options include an everyday menu, a kids menu and a bottomless brunch, giving groups and families plenty of choice for a relaxed visit.

The venue also works well for larger plans, with four function rooms available for events ranging from intimate dinners for 10 people to exclusive venue hire for up to 700. That makes it a practical option for celebrations, private gatherings and organised events as well as regular meals. Darling & Co is open from Wednesday to Sunday and welcomes both bookings and walk-ins. On Suncorp Stadium game and event days, a smaller menu applies before the event, while groups of 12 or more need to work with pre-orders or the limited menu. Whether you are meeting for a weekday drink, settling in for weekend brunch or arranging a function, the venue offers a broad, adaptable setting in Paddington.
