Why it's worth checking out
Flying Colours is a West End local built around uncomplicated drinks and a relaxed neighbourhood atmosphere. At 63 Vulture Street, the venue brings together a leafy courtyard, a cosy warehouse dining room and a side bar, giving you a few different settings for an afternoon or evening out in Brisbane.
