Spring is undoubtedly the best season to get out and about in Brisbane. If you’re looking for a suggestion on where to soak up the stunning weather, we recommend The Aviary Terrace Bar on level four of 480 Queen Street. The bar is the brainchild of the team behind upscale steakhouse BŌS (led by restaurateur Chris Higgins, celebrity chef Adrian Richardson and entrepreneur Liam McMahon) and is a decidedly more lively and colourful concept compared to the moody masculinity of its neighbour. Boasting a bird’s-eye view of the Brisbane River and Story Bridge, this open-air subtropical sipping spot pairs these stellar vistas with a menu of light bites, curated cocktails, fine wines and champagne. With an aesthetic described as sleek, modern and elegant, The Aviary is kitted out with booth seating and an arresting salmon and deep-green colour scheme. A roster of DJs will ensure the vibes are always on point, making The Aviary the ideal pre- or post-dinner locale or a primo Friday night party spot.
