If you’re like us, you’re probably a bit of a sucker for a killer sunset with a great glass of wine (… or 4). Whether it’s a weeknight or weekend, you simply can’t turn down an invitation for a cold beverage with great company and an even better view.
So get that bucket list ready (…and by bucket list we mean that random page of notes in your phone that you sporadically add to), because here are our top picks for the Best Sunset Sips in South Bank.
- Southbeach
If you’re craving relaxed, beach-side cocktails for sunset but aren’t near the coast, Southbeach is the place for you. Serving laid-back, luxe vibes and boasting amazing views, their alfresco entertaining space is perfectly suited to warm summer evenings. With live music every Friday to Sunday, there’s no better spot for a weekend get together.
- OTTO Osteria and Ristorante
When it comes to sunset sips, OTTO knows how to turn on the charm. Perched right on the edge of Brisbane river, you’ll enjoy uninterrupted views, amazing service and even better wine. Backed with a killer menu (hello lobster spaghettini), it’s our go to spot for a special occasion.
- The Jetty
Take in the sunset from a more casual setting with one of the luxe picnic hampers from The Jetty. Offering beautiful, picnic-ready antipasto platters - in conjunction with some A-grade booze of course - you’ll be able to sit and sip in the sunshine with one of the best views in Brisbane.
- South Bank Beer Garden
Wanting to enjoy a couple of sundown beers with the boys before the night kicks off? Head to South Bank Beer Garden! Located right by Streets Beach, you’ll catch some killer views of the city and an even better sunset.
- Aquitaine
Where there is magnificent French food, there is equally magnificent wine. At Aquitaine, you will pick from a beautifully curated wine list, enjoy delicious, authentic French food, and of course, take in views of Brisbane river as the day transitions to night.
- River Quay Fish
Tell us, what could be better than a beautiful bottle of wine and a platter of fresh, local seafood as the sun goes down? Offering a more intimate date night experience, River Quay Fish is the perfect restaurant to sit, sip and take it all in.
- Popolo
Split a bottle of wine and enjoy some delicious, Italian share plates, as you take in the sunset from a table at Popolo. With an extensive list of Italian wines to choose from, and an even better line up of cocktails and spritz's, you'll be spoiled for choice.
