devoted to giving you the lowdown on the many pubs, clubs, cafes and
restaurants around Brisbane. We've included the details and price range of
some of the most popular venues around, to help you get more of an
idea of just what's out there. We are hoping to keep expanding the number of venues
listed and we'll be continuing to update this page with extra info
throughout the semester. And if you've been to somewhere not on the list
that you'd like to tell others about, why not email us the details and we
can put them up as well. Enjoy!!
