What's Open in Brisbane for Summer 2022/23: Bars, Restaurants and Cafes

Updated 6 months ago

Share

This time of year is strange: most of us have a fair bit of time off, but so do our favourite venues.

Thankfully, quite a few places are staying open over the holiday break to make sure you get out of the house. Some are old favourites; others are some of the best new spots in town. They’re all worth a visit – use this break as an excuse to finally get to that spot across town you’ve been meaning to visit.

Note: we’ve been as diligent as possible with the information on this page, which was confirmed in writing from each venue in the week prior to Christmas. But we still advise you call ahead or check online to make sure that the place you plan to visit has room on the day.
