Howard Smith Wharves

Howard Smith Wharves is a riverfront precinct in Brisbane CBD built around eating, drinking, entertainment and places to stay. Set beside the Brisbane River, it is known for views towards the Story Bridge and city skyline, with on-site parking, five-star accommodation and a range of hospitality venues and event spaces.

The precinct brings together a broad selection of places to eat and drink. Felons Brewing Co. and Felons Barrel Hall combine a brewery, bar and restaurant, while Mr Percival’s, Stan’s Lounge and Fiume Rooftop Bar focus on drinks and evening visits. Dining options include Stanley, Greca, Yoko Dining, Mews Café, Betty’s Burgers and CIAO, giving visitors plenty of choice within the one riverside destination. The website also promotes seasonal dining events, including wine-led experiences and special programs at its restaurants.

There is more to Howard Smith Wharves than hospitality. Private dining rooms and dedicated event spaces are available for weddings, private celebrations, corporate events and other larger gatherings. Featured spaces include Felons Barrel Hall, Ciao Papi and Glass House. Gift vouchers can also be used across participating HSW venues, making the precinct suitable for planning a meal, drinks or a group occasion without committing to just one venue.

The Story Bridge Adventure Climb is another major drawcard. Presented as one of Brisbane’s leading tourist attractions, it offers a way to see the city from the Story Bridge and is now part of the Howard Smith Wharves group. With its mix of river views, restaurants, bars, accommodation, events and the climb itself, the precinct suits visitors looking for a flexible Brisbane outing, as well as groups arranging a celebration or event. Howard Smith Wharves has a 4.6 Google rating from 1,982 reviews.
