New to the area. As a student, one of the school clubs hosted their welcome event here. It was a very beautiful venue, good for students. The music they played was awesome, very popular songs and didn't try to remix them. One thing, they overcharged me for drinks. They need to tell you the cost before they charge your card.

Food in Brisbane more pricey than Sydney? Rhetorical but would love to hear an opinion.
$20 for steak, and mashed potato - and I was pleasantly satisfied with the amount provided. Nice view... a well lit tree in the middle, could have produced a perfect dinnerdate-y vibe with right company. As it was, had a great bonding time with a friend!
Overall, it's definitely a place you want to try out.

Just had an eye fillet with potato galette and port wine jus, washed down with a Brisvegas Bitter. That says it all, really.
Weird combination of upmarket and downmarket. The food is like pub food, but good quality, though a bit too charred from the signature barbeque. I don't know what it's like in night club mode, but I can only assume it maintains the impression of an '80s dive shoved into a nice location and watching the new millennium roll by.

Lunch for a work friends 'Baby shower' today. I made the booking and staff were friendly and helpful. They allowed us to pay individually and had a nice card system to identify who had what when we paid which i think is a great idea.
Views are of course lovely looking over the Brisbane river to Storey Bridge, and we were sat in a corner away from the hustle and bustle which was good. And yay, table service! Service was a little hit and miss though. While half our party had their drinks in about 5 or 10 mins the other half got completely forgotten about, but cheers to the hostess

Let me start out by saying I have never eat at Friday's so this is strictly a review of Friday's for its nightlife.
Friday's is a fun place for people of different statuses and monetary levels of income. Students and business men come here for after work and uni for drinks. Is a rooftop bar and nightclub. There is a dancing area and one main bar inside and outside. The bathrooms are up kept quite nicely. Walking in any part of Friday's on a busy night is a hassle as so many people. The music is mainstream pop and is fun to dance to, though finding room to dance will be a struggle
