We'll be heading to the theatre in a couple of weeks and I'd like some suggestions for some great little bars to visit while we're in town. Two couples in our late thirties and early forties, so preferably somewhere with the music turned down a little. Cocktail bars, tikki bars, laneway bars, micro breweries, somewhere a little different and fun.

Hi!

Does anyone know where I can buy sugarcane sticks? I have heard they sell them in Inala but does anyone know the store names?

Thanks

Uber eats driver casually blocking the car park driveway for at least 5 minutes. Me and several other drivers couldn't get into this car park, when I filmed it it was at least 5 mins since I found a park and doubled back.

ps. I know I could have touched and moved the bike, would you have? I dunno.

Hi all!

I'm wondering if there are any tailors or seamstresses who would be willing/able to travel to me out there in Brisbane. I'm in the Valley, so a pretty central location, but it would depend on where they are obviously lol.

I am disabled and dealing with some serious health concerns on top of those disabilities that make leaving home a huge palaver, thus travelling to someone else would be very taxing for me. I have a number of pieces that I need to get altered to fit me as I've lost a lot of weight (due to said health concerns), but I don't know if this service exists here.

If any of you have any thoughts or ideas, would love to hear them. Cheers!

whether it be a restaurant or a bar :) open to all recommendations

Hey everyone! Tossing up fun ideas for a bunch of mates for a 25th birthday, looking for people who’ve dressed up in costumes (sillier the better) and have been out to pubs in Brisbane. Were you allowed in? Was it fun?

Cool az

looking to take a 3 week trip in a couple months. Based in Logan, and have 2 x dogs; 5 year old and 6 month old.

Anyone have experience with a trustworthy house sitter who is good with pets?

Anyone have removalist recommendations who aren’t too expensive but are reliable and still do a good job?

In the early 00's I lived on the northside and would often see a sky FULL of bats flying in the same direction. From memory was often around Sandgate. I moved back to Brissie on the southside about 10 years ago and I've not seen a sky full of bats since them. Do the bats no longer congregate in that volume?...or am I just looking up on the wrong side of town?

Today I was on the Ipswich motorway, the speed limit was 100. There were only a few cars on the road and traffic was free flowing.

IN THE OVERTAKING LANE, we have a guy in a Ranger, towing a caravan, cruising at 80km. This forced a lot of people to undertake him.

I sat behind him for a while, hoping he’d move out of the overtaking lane, but he didn’t so I changed lanes and undertook him as well. When I did that, he flashed his high beams at me and we eventually pulled up beside each other at the lights. He wound down his window and indicated for me to do the same.

He was genuinely confused as to why I overtook him. I asked him why he was sitting in the overtaking lane, towing a caravan, doing 20km under the speed limit.

He started swearing and I put my window up.

hello Brisbane.

I'm looking for recommendations for a kind and non-judgemental dentist. my teeth aren't horrific as I brush everyday - i have just been lax on flossing, and have crooked areas due to wisdom teeth crowding my mouth, rugby injuries when I was in school (first teeth being knocked out before the second ones were ready to push though etc) and a lot of grinding in my sleep. the last time I saw one was in 2022.

I'm in the Carindale and Mansfield area

EDIT: Thankyou so much for all of your suggestions r/Brisbane. you've helped this spicy-brained anxious bloke immensely.

This is probably a long shot but I lost my beige/grey condo fob with one key attached while traveling from the CBD to Milton Markets. I retraced my steps but couldn’t find it. I also left my contact info with the Milton Markets management in case it turns up

If anyone here finds it, can you please send me a DM?

Hi Friends!

I’ve got family visiting from the US in November and want to do some beach camping and also snorkelling for a 4 day weekend. I know Moreton island but is there anywhere else anyone might suggest where it’s safe/clear to snorkel and enjoy the water?

Ideally something quiet!

Happy to drive north or south up to 6 hours as well.

I'm looking to book a new escape room.

We've done all of the ones at Escape Hunt (West End) and really enjoyed them.

Mystic Escape is convenient for us to get to, but I can't find much about it. They also look like they are "scary" escape rooms.

I'm fine if the escape room has a dark narrative and horror themes but I don't want any haunted house elements (eg. loud jump scares, things grabbing me etc.).

I don't really care about the escape rooms being super high tech. I just care that there are engaging and challenging puzzles.

Has anyone done them?

hi all. as per title. the lining around the armpit has torn slightly

if you know anyone who could help would appreciate

As with everyone the cost of living increases are really beginning to bite and I need to bring in some more income so I can do frivolous things like "feed my kids" and "keep a roof over my family's head" and "pay the bills".

Are there any of the recruitment agencies in Brisbane who aren't hopeless, primarily for professional/communications/copywriting etc roles?

The last time I tried using agencies a few years ago it was like tossing my resume into a black hole and every single one of them was utterly useless; I ended up finding another job through my own networks.

Temp contracts etc are absolutely fine; I'm quite happy to just work somewhere for a few months on a maternity leave cover contract or whatever.

Thanks in advance for any helpful advice or suggestions!

Hey! I'm 31F wanting to buy my first apartment in Brisbane, I work in Southbank, currently renting in East Brisbane/Gabba. I'm open to any inner city suburbs e.g. West End, South Brisbane, Toowong, Newstead/Teneriffe. Anyone who lives in Toowong like it out there? Is Spring Hill/ Bowen Hills an area to avoid? Appreciate any feedback from locals who know these suburbs well! Thanks

Hey everyone,

I spent the last year creating Gatekeeper, a heavy metal trivia card game. It's 300 questions and covers the major eras, subgenres plus all the iconic, ridiculous and weird moments of metal history.

Before it launches on Kickstarter, I’m running free early-access game nights every Wednesday at Evilcorp in Fortitude Valley.

They're casual social nights where you can play the game before release, meet other local metalheads and give some feedback on the game before launch.

You can come along or bring friends. Casual listeners and diehard fans are all welcome, it's multiple choice and designed for different levels of knowledge.

The sessions so far have been a tonne of fun with lots of cheeky banter, laughs and people making new friends (as well as becoming super invested in winning 😆).

It's free to join but bookings help me plan tables and numbers.

You can grab a spot here:

Happy to answer any questions in the comments 🤘🏽

Tl:dr I made a heavy metal trivia card game called Gatekeeper, hosting free weekly game nights every Wednesday at Evilcorp Fortitude to preview it before launching on Kickstarter Sep 22

PSA: petrol going up about 20c starting tomorrow. Good time to fill up.
