It’s finally Brisbane’s turn to get a piece of the international cricketing action. To celebrate the excitement of a day-to-night test at the home of cricket in Brisbane (The Gabba), we have rounded up the best spots to fuel up pre-match. Plus, getting from lunch to the game couldn’t be easier! You’ll only be a short walk from the South Bank busway, or if you want to get your steps up, you can make the journey on foot to the stadium.
Tippler’s Tap
You’ll be spoilt for choice with a whole host of classic match day meals. Think burgers, wings, loaded hot dogs, and much more! Plus, you can avoid those pesky bar lines by taking advantage of the self-serve beer tap, with the use of the Tippler’s pre-loaded money card to accompany your meal. Oh, and did we mention they have eight dedicated screens full of sporting action? So, you won’t miss a moment of the pre-match discussions!
Barbossa Bar
Sit back and relax in the alfresco dining area and indulge in our definition of the perfect fuel for a day-to-night test... rum-glazed pork! Featuring chargrilled pork with a rum sauce, served with chips and pineapple slaw (yum!). Wash it all down with an ice-cold beer or opt for their vast selection of house-made barrel-aged rums for the ultimate match day feed.
The Charming Squire
Cricket and pub-style meals are a (literal!) match made in heaven. If you want to hit a six on your choice of pre-match meal, then you can’t go past their schnitty that’s served with lemon, honey grain mustard, chips, and house salad! Not complete without one of their on-tap beers or ciders!
Southbank Beer Garden
Fish and chips and an ice-cold beer at Southbank Beer Garden are the perfect warm-up to a big day of cricketing action. Sit back and enjoy the view of Streets Beach with your tipple of choice in hand and the perfectly crunchy cider batter barramundi, served with a fresh salad, rosemary sea salt fries, and house-made tartare sauce.
