Beer Gardens are like super cool, yeah?

South Beach Social
30AA Stanley Plaza, South Brisbane
There’s nothing that screams summer more than heading to the beach, attempting to get a tan, finding sand in the most unusual of places and swallowing way too much salt water. After a long beach day, you’re definitely going to need a refresher! And the South Beach Social is the perfect place to do so. Obviously don’t rock up in your bikini and flip flops, but we recommend you check this place out after a long summers day or after you’ve spent the day at Brisbane’s Street’s Beach, as it’s just across the road. They offer a great beer and wine list offering drinks that are both local and international, their stand out however is their cocktail list, jam packed with cocktails inspired by the beach – tropical AF!
