I was intreguied by their boilermaker menu and after a while, we were walking away like I was a regular part of the furniture. There's just something about Catchment. It's designed really well, the venue feels inviting and the staff are there to have a good time and make you great drinks. Catchment gave me an opportunity to smash beers, play darts and have good chats; what more could you want?

We rocked up and grabbed a table not knowing if we were to order at the bar or if staff would bring us a menu. FYI: You just order at the bar! We grabbed menus and they had quite the beverage list with beers available on tap (which you can also sample if you ask nicely). The food menu was one page and had a handful of entrees but the rest of the menu was pizza! They had your traditional ones with ham and pineapple or margarita but I was eyeing more of the interesting pizza like 'Wil Feral' and 'Mad Man Chilli Spank' and we decided on the chill spank and then a prawn pizza to even it out. Since it was Ten Bucks Tuesday, we decided to order a couple of pizzas to share and get to chatting. When our pizzas came out, they were the same Vampire Mad Prawn except one was with the death (spicy) sauce. I explained to our server how we had ordered the Mad Man Chilli Spank and he told me that two prawn pizzas were written on his order form. Before I could reply, the lady who took our order asked what was the situation and corrected it immediately by saying they would make another pizza right away and apologized for the inconvenience! Talk about great customer service! No fuss and immediately took care of the situation. She even offered to box up the other prawn pizza for takeaway! The Mad Man Chilli Spank is NOT for the faint of heart. There might have been some tears at the table but I rest assure you not from me. The pizzas are super thin with a nice crispy crunch and the toppings were tasty as well. The salami for the chill spank was tasty and I am so glad it was on there to diffuse some of the heat. The porter beer was a huge hit and they also had little creatures IPA, white rabbit white ale, and pip-squeak apple cider on tap. Great place to hang out with friends, catch up with someone special, or have dinner and drinks. They were super friendly and I will definitely come back!

Everything was decorated so beautifully and it really matched the aesthetic of the bar on the top floor. The food and service was amazing! All the baristas and servers on the night of March 22nd, 2025 were so friendly and helpful. We had margherita pizza, mushroom pizza, sausage pizza, chicken sliders, and a charcuterie table. The beer they had on tap was so good compared to some bars we have in the United States. I liked the alcoholic ginger beer (The Sneaky Gingy) the most compared to any other place I've ever had it! One of the baristas told me that their boss makes everything in-house. Later in the night, the ceremony room turned into a dance hall. It was so much fun spending time with everyone, either having fun conversations with each other or dancing to the best songs on the dance floor. One of the baristas who had told me there would be a wait on the ginger beer actually came up to me on the dance floor with my drink, which was so sweet and thoughtful! We had so much fun and we are definitely going to be coming back just to enjoy the food and atmosphere again the next time we come visit our friends in Brisbane!

Sure our imaginations were running wild, but it seemed like Junk Bar is the kind of place where that can happen. It begins when you walk through an unsuspecting glass sliding door, through a plush curtain and into the hip and casual lounge bar that you can't possibly imagine exists in this strip of suburbia. Yet, exist it does and forgetting you've just walked off an Ashgrove foot path, here you find yourself in a bar where you're imagining it is all part of a Tarantino flick. But I digress. The cocktails here are around the $15 mark which is respectable and the service is done so with a smile. We ordered bagels from the bites menu, purely for the novelty of drinking cocktails and eating a bagel. Don't judge! Deciding what to drink was the hardest part - I ended up going with a trusty Gin-based Bramble but could have easily been seduced by drinks with names like Pie in The Sky (polish vodka, vanilla galliano, cloudy apple juice and cinnamon) or a Winter Blanket.

They REALLY sold me with their beer-infused ice cream! The ice cream comes from Lick! and I had passionfruit ice cream!! Perfect combination and great way to cool down from the Brisbane heat. Awesome place with awesome staff. If I had a friend visiting, I would definitely take them to this place because it's unique and chill.

The Walrus Bar (you'll have to visit to answer the question, "Why Walrus?"), headed by Krystal Hart (recently crowned Diageo Reserve World Class Bartender for 2013) and with support behind the bar from some of this town's finest (including a few familiar faces from Canvas), is home to some 300 spirits; rum; cheese and charcuterie and 30 Cuban cigars. As well as my usual cocktail friend (Southsides), I happily sipped on an Indian punch (Panch Phora Punch) which was a rich and seductively easy to drink. This is a rum bar primarily and the majority of lighting within the bar is from the glass cabinets containing every rum you could imagine. Of course, it is never wise to enjoy such decadent drink on an empty stomach and The Walrus have you sorted with a menu of small plates.

This is in the arts area of the city, with many galleries, restaurants, street art, and bars. There's lots of options here for non-beer drinkers too, plus a robust menu of hearty bar foods. I got a tasting paddle, which I thought were large pours for the price. The bartenders were welcoming and quick to serve. They have outdoor seating as well, plus open sides in the hotter months. If you're a beer fan and new to the area, this place is a must-visit. They also have a linked beer store to-go, which also has wine and distilled selections.
