Make sure you squeeze in time for a sundowner in the rooftop bar; it serves free munchies after 5:30pm.
Mr & Mrs Smith "A renovated, 110-year-old classic Queenslander topped with a 24-hour rooftop bar – perfect for impromptu nightcaps – this stylish spot makes for an ideal urban escape." Full review
Time Out "You’re in the genteel inner suburb of New Farm, with bakeries, cafés and bars all within shouting distance; the city and Fortitude Valley are barely more than a 15 minute walk away too. " Full review
