Milky Lane Newstead

Milky Lane Newstead is a burger-focused restaurant at Gasworks on Skyring Terrace, serving burgers alongside cocktails, desserts, thick shakes, sides and specials. Its menu spans classic and more elaborate burger styles, with the venue stating that it regularly tests new combinations and introduces monthly specials across its food and drinks. That makes it a suitable choice for diners who enjoy familiar options as well as playful, visually minded creations.

The drinks and dessert offering is a major part of the experience. Cocktails are designed in signature, dessert and share formats, with the Bubble O Bill Cocktail presented as a nostalgic dessert-inspired drink. The venue also highlights its Deep Fried Golden Gaytime dessert and says it experiments with flavours and products including Caramilk and Biscoff. Thick shakes are another suggested pairing with the burgers, while the broader cocktail range is described as covering fruity, light, sweet and sour styles.

The setting is colourful and energetic rather than understated. The open-plan restaurant includes booth seating, an alfresco dining area and space for both small and large groups. Graffiti murals by artists including Sofles and Dallas Clark feature alongside walls displaying hip-hop artists such as Cardi B and Kendrick Lamar, contributing to the playful, music-led character. Weekly happy hours are also promoted by the venue, although current details should be checked when booking.

Milky Lane Newstead caters to a broad range of occasions, from casual meals and family outings to birthdays, corporate functions, product launches, fundraisers and other private events. The venue describes itself as kid-friendly and offers a kids menu, while its indoor and outdoor seating can accommodate different group sizes. It can also suit a casual date or a solo diner after a burger and shake, although the lively atmosphere and share-style drinks are particularly geared towards social visits. It is located in Teneriffe, Brisbane, with parking available within the Gasworks centre and booking offered through the venue website.
