If you look a little harder you'll find life drawing sessions, tiny art galleries, and cool little venues. There's actually a gallery/bar and a performance space in the Absoe building (looks like a... More

I haven't been to Westend in years and I was really pleasantly surprized. It has now got alot of interesting shops and a great variety of restaurants. It is worth having a look at and spending a few hours even just sitting and people watching.

It is just a short walk across the bridge to the cbd and river cats.Just make sure when you are walking across the walk bridge that you don't collide with a bike cause there are... More

No trip to the city would be complete without an early Saturday morning trip to West End markets full of lovely Queensland fresh fruit and Veg, mingle with the locals try the curry puffs and spring rolls and sit down to an enjoyable coffee from one of the many stalls

Whether you want to eat, or shop for trendy clothing, or hang with friends at a bar, or shop for healthy organic foods and hempen hippy clothing, West End is a culture center for the earthy lifestyle.

West End has always been very multicultural and, despite being across river from Brisbane CBD, it has retained it's character. Great little cafes & restaurants, op shops and not too much redevelopment.

West End is a alternative funky little area located near southbank. There are endless shops, cafes restaurants, street performers, pubs and the biggest pool hall ive ever seen. I highly recommend a coffee at either 'the three monkeys' or 'the gun shop cafe'. The service is always impecciable, polite and friendly.
