Max Brenner The Chocolate Bar
10/39 Hercules StThe newest addition to Brisbane's bar and restaurant scene, BlackBird Bar and Grill, made up of a beautiful restaurant and two bars, has a lush Gatsby era decor and stunning views of the Brisbane River and Story Bridge. While the food alone is worth a visit (the Heritage Australian menu has a strong seafood and steak focus, the latter of which is grilled before diner's eyes), it's the highly unusual bar fit out that makes this venue a must-see. The two large bars are split into 'dark' and 'light', reflecting the two moods of the '20s, prohibition speakeasy, and opulent Gatsby style. BlackBird Bar and Grill also has extensive private dining facilities, if you'd rather not mingle.

Another legendary establishment that simply cannot be ignored when talking about the steak restaurants Brisbane has to offer is the Brekky Creek Hotel. The Hotel is mostly famous for two things; its gorgeous French Renaissance-style architecture and its even-more gorgeous steaks, which have been coming off the grill since 1967. The beef is mostly sourced from South East Queensland, and you get to go up and select your own cut, which is char grilled and served with an Idaho potato, bacon sauce, coleslaw, slices of tomato and a bread roll. The Bos Indicus rump is priced at $33.
