Patio by Range

Few Brisbane craft-beer breweries had as good a year as Range Brewing did in 2023. In addition to relaunching its culinary arm Jacopo’s Pizza, bringing back its hugely successful beer festival for a second year and opening event space and barrel room The Bethnal next to its Newstead HQ, Range owners Matt McIver and Gerard Martin also cut the ribbon on Australiana-inspired neighbourhood bar Patio by Range in June. ⁠Housed within a character-filled space a short marinated-olive toss from Rosalie Village, Patio pairs the timeless appeal of a true-blue Aussie pub with a pinch of chic Italian alfresco vibes, creating a suburban sipping spot that’s stylish, singular and oh-so special. Even six months on, seats at Patio can be hard to come by at peak hour (bookings are still your best bet on weekends), but once you’ve scored a perch – either at the bar, in the landscaped courtyard or at one of the red-tile tables in the patio area – a dozen taps pouring Range’s selection of boundary-pushing beers alongside its own branded wines (made in conjunction with LATTA Vino) await. ⁠Oh, and you can’t forget the selection of Jacopo’s signatures on the menu. Pepperoni suppli, ‘nduja focaccia and 24-hour slow-rise sourdough pizzas? Drinking food doesn’t get much better!⁠
