Me and my partner has been here a couple of times to watch the sunday sessions of stand up comedy, both times we have been more than pleased with the atmosphere and friendly staff.. Only had drinks so far but the food looks really good, thick cut chips and pizaz served on a board. Great venue that's got a bit... More

I have been living in Brisbane for nearly 2 years and the Brisbane Powerhouse is hands down my favourite place. Whether it is alone with my baby, or with friends, I love to have a pot of tea (one of the best and cheapest in town) and sit on the balcony at Bar Alto, overlook the river and contemplate life....

Look no can say that Brisbane has the wide city street of Melbourne or the harbour and beaches of sydney and to be honest it fight to even come up for air V's Adelaide and Perth but what it does offer and very very strongly compete in is real lifestyle .... Now people don't come on holidays to see lifestyle... More

nice place to visit for cultural events, shows, and seize the opportunity to have a drink on the restaurant terrace which offers a great view to the river by night

The Powerhouse is a great place to enjoy a relaxed drink on the patio with a view of the river. There's always an interesting exhibit up. And the building itself is gorgie. Add to that that every Sunday there's free music and comedy, and the Powerhouse is a winner.

Had a beautiful meal at Watt restraunt & bar. My husband eats fish almost every time we eat out & his reaction to this meal, was that it was the best piece of fish he had ever eaten. Beautiful surrounds, easy walk to river cat terminal

We have been to the Powerhouse several times and seen shows including the comedy festival. It is a great relaxed venue, one small complaint, theatre is cold. The food is fabulous as is the view.

Stunning building on the river, whoever was in charge of the restoration did a great job - kudos for keeping the graffiti inside from the derelict days. Finally Brisbane does its history and heritage justice. Great drinks, nice staff, great views. Can get a bit chilly on winter so bring a jumper. Recommend a lazy Sunday for food, drinks, and... More

The museum is very quirky with a fun culture only we were running on a tight schedual, I wish we had more time to have some lunch, as it looked very popular and the park is lovely for families wanting to have a picnic.
