Open menuWhy it's worth checking out
Southbeach brings a relaxed coastal feel to South Bank, with a Brisbane twist on the classic beach shack. It is designed for easy-going socialising, whether you are dropping in for a drink, sitting down to eat or meeting friends before enjoying the surrounds of the precinct.
The setting is the main drawcard. From Southbeach, you can take in views across the Brisbane River, the CBD skyline and Streets Beach, giving the venue a distinctly local backdrop. Live music runs from Friday to Sunday, adding to the laid-back atmosphere and making it a suitable choice for casual catch-ups, weekend outings and visitors wanting to enjoy a riverside view with some entertainment.
The venue offers a food menu and welcomes walk-ins, although its limited capacity means booking ahead is recommended to avoid disappointment. With a 4.1 Google rating from 1,080 reviews, Southbeach is an established option in South Bank for relaxed drinks, dining and social time in a coastal-inspired setting.
