Want to start 2025 on a good note? Here’s what’s open on New Year’s Day in Brisbane
Folks, we’ve made it through another year and what a year it was. As we wake up on January 1, many of us will be reflecting on the year that was, feeling eager for the bright future of 2025, and probably nursing a headache from a huge night of celebrations. Whatever it may be, the best way to kick off the New Year is with a good brekky, dynamo feed or another drink to continue the celebrations at one of Brisbane’s terrific snack and sip spots. Scores of cafes, bars and restaurants are open on New Year’s Day – all you have to do is make the choice of where to feast. Here’s a list of some handy suggestions to choose from …
