What’s Open in Brisbane for Summer 2025/26: Bars, Restaurants and Cafes
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. Plus, here's what open on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day.
