Put the petal to the metal
They say sunflowers always try to face the sun, and here at The Good Guide, we’ve adopted the same philosophy – with a generous dollop of sunscreen, of course. As summer starts to draw to a close here in Brissy, we’re soaking up the last rays in style and bringing you the best of what local life has to offer. Our advice? Skip the FOMO and read all about it below.
It's Time To Be The King of King Street
So you've got a spare 48 hours up your sleeve and you're not sure what to do? The answer: King Street! This street of wonders has everything you need for a fun, relaxing, family or romantic weekend away. The hardest part will be deciding what to do unless you think you can do it all!
The Best Rollin' Restaurants in Town!
The last few years have seen Brisbane become quite the cultured chap, opening its heart and stomach to many new delicacies - on wheels! With such an array of food available, let’s make some plans for the weekend and check out some of Brisbane’s favourite food truck stops.
Coffee, Cheese and Cakes
We’ve all heard of the endless lists of must-see’s and the must-do’s – but have you ever heard of the must-c’s? That’s right, the letter ‘C’. Behold, the holy trinity of Albion – comforting coffee, classy cheese and charming cakes! Once veiled but now revealed… oh the glory that lies within.
Can You Handle It?
The only thing better than a nice meal you don’t have to make is two of them for the price of one. If you wanted a crash course in meal deals for two, buckle your seatbelt. This is your future Tinder date rotation.
You stay classy, Brisbane
Put down the greasy takeout, remove those stained sweat pants and jump in the shower. This week we're turning up the class a notch and treating ourselves to a little wining and dining at some of Brisbane's most exclusive venues and events.
On a Winters Day in Brisbane
Winter in Brisbane is such a special time of year. The sky seems to shine extra blue; basking in the suns rays will warm you, not burn you; and the crisp mornings and nights make us Brisbanites so excited that we can actually wear those jumpers buried at the bottom of our wardrobe.
To me, the perfect Sunday on a winters day in Brisbane includes lots of food, trying out as many new restaurants, cafes and bars as possible, a wine or two, a dose of nature, and a good dose of sunshine.
Here are the top five picks for each time of the day …
BBQ Championships, Craft Beer, Food Trucks, Live Music, Masterclasses and more. You’re welcome.
The best kind of festival is where you do what you want, right? Right.
Imagine sitting on the grass and gnawing on a giant hunk of meat from some of Brisbane’s Best BBQ Foodies whilst sipping on some of Australia (and the World’s) most delicious craft brews.
And then getting schooled and learning the ropes from the High Nerds of the BBQ & Beer World in one of the Masterclasses, getting all up in their grill with all the questions you ever had about ‘queing and brewing.
Whichever way you want to plan your Roadshow, there will be a kick arse Live Music lineup to tickle your eardrums for a truly awesome Summer Saturday.
Introducing.... (drum roll please)... the BBQ & Beer Roadshow. You’re welcome.
