Fireworks, Feasts and Fizz!

The Best Dining and Cocktail Spots for Riverfire on August 31

 

 

Riverfire is Brisbane-speak for party, and the best location to experience the city’s favourite night of fireworks and music is Rydges South Bank, with three feasting and cocktail options over three different levels of the famed South Bank hotel, as well as Sip and Stay packages! The secret to Riverfire is to BOOK EARLY, be prepared and bring your party shoes! Amazing images here

 

Front Row Rooms to the Best Light Show of the Year at Rydges South Bank

SO close you can almost hear the whizz of the sky high fireworks – this is the ultimate vantage point. Stay in a luxurious balcony room for front-row seats to the spectacle as Brisbane Festival sets the river alight in a kaleidoscope of colour. Dine at Bacchus or sip at Soleil Pool Bar downstairs before and after, or order room service and live like royalty for the night! Sparkle, Sip and Stay!

To book call 07 3364 0822 or email [email protected]

 

A Fireworks Feast at Bacchus Restaurant

The chefs at Bacchus have curated a seasonal feasting style menu inspired by Riverfire – think house-made focaccia, soy cured kingfish, black angus rib eye and the famous Bacchus' spring-inspired Apple dessert (it has to been seen and tasted to be believed). Added of course is the brilliant Bacchus service, the award-winning wine list and fantastic views just outside. See more HERE  Bon Appetit Firework Friends!

From $139pp, reservations at www.bacchussouthbank.com.au or 07 3364 0870

 

Sparkle Sips at Soleil Pool Bar

Under the stars, beside the pool, Soleil Pool Bar is one of Brisbane’s best cocktail spots, and on August 31, it’s all about the sparkle, in the air and everywhere! Gather a squad for live music, signature cocktails and grazing platters and great views of Riverfire, before dancing up a storm late into the night! Here’s a tip: start your sparkle soiree relaxing poolside in the afternoon before the big show takes over the night sky. And another tip: book one of Soleil’s poolside booths for the VIP treatment 😉.
