From riverside swims, bottomless brunches, market strolls, and art classes, this is your go-to guide for how Brissie locals spend their weekends at South Bank!

‍

Streets Beach
Take a dip in Streets Beach, Brisbane’s very own man-made beach right by the river. Soft sand, sparkling blue water, and shady palms make it the perfect spot to kick back or splash around. Float in the calm areas, soak up the sun, or hang with the kids in the shallow end.

Vici Euro Summer Bottomless Brunch
Brunch like you’re in Italy. For $75 per person, graze through antipasti platters piled with prosciutto, salami, creamy cheeses, ricotta dip, and warm focaccia before diving into VICI’s signature wood-fired Margherita pizza. Pair it with two hours of spritz, cocktail trees, sours, and seasonal sips. Available weekends from 11:30am. Book your table and soak up the South Bank vibes.

‍

Riverside Walks
Stroll along the Clem Jones Promenade from the Epicurious Garden to the Cultural Precinct. Wander through the floral-festooned Arbour and enjoy the South Bank to CBD bridge loop that spans two bridges and parklands. Feeling adventurous? Take the 2.5km South Bank to Kangaroo Point route for serious scenery and a workout on the famous cliff stairs.

‍

Cork & Chroma Art Café
Get hands-on this October at C&C Art Café. Pick your project from acrylics, watercolours, collage, beaded keepsakes, figurine painting, or rotating craft specials. Enjoy two hours of self-guided creative freedom, sip T2 tea, explore the Artist Hand Station, and BYO drinks if you like. Perfect for catching up with friends, a quirky date, or some creative therapy. Book your table, get messy, and leave with a creation you’ll love.

‍

Poca Madre Bottomless Brunch
Brunch just got a glow up. For $90 per person, enjoy two hours of Mexican-inspired feasting and margarita magic. Start with chido guacamole and oozy baked chorizo queso fundido before moving on to a lineup of Poca favourites that are colourful, crave-worthy, and made to share. Grab your brunch crew, book a table, and get ready for two hours of flavour, fun, and good times.

‍

Collective Markets
Original art, photography, unique gifts, trending fashion, vintage clothing, foodie stalls, and live music. The Collective Markets on Little Stanley are the artisan heart of Brisbane and the perfect place to explore, shop, and soak up the creative vibes.

‍

Olé Barcelona Bottomless Brunch
South Bank weekends just got tastier. Taking over Saturdays and Sundays from 11:30am, OLÉ brings the best of Barcelona to Brisbane. For $80 per person, start with plump olives and jamón serrano on pan con tomate. Move on to the classic tortilla de patatas, golden outside and creamy inside, before indulging in crispy pork belly with a tangy Seville orange glaze. Drinks, vibes, and Spanish flavours make this brunch unmissable.
