So now that we know what you can choose from, let’s have a look at where you’ll be able to find some of the most popular private dining rooms in Brisbane. A good place for a mix of higher-end and more affordable private dining is Fortitude Valley, particularly around Wickham and Ann Streets. If you’re looking for a few options around the water, turn your attention towards Queen Street as you make your way south. George Street around North Quay features lovely options for larger parties and taking a look around Musgrave Park in South Brisbane gives you a choice of more modern and sunny spaces.
How about going with a throwback to the 1920s and booking one of Brisbane’s prohibition-era-inspired speakeasy restaurants? Normally quite hidden (as any good speakeasy should be), these lovely venues are easy enough to track down with Tagvenue! There you’ll find the old-world class with intimate rooms designed to bring your party together as you enjoy some of the best food the city has to offer (and, often, even better drinks!). You could also look into booking a full dining party experience where you can select a chef’s signature menu for the party in advance. Why not lead your guests on a gustatory voyage in Brisbane?
