💘 For the Romantics

The Boatshed at The Regatta keeps things simple, intimate, and quietly romantic. Settle in for a cozy lunch or dinner overlooking the river, where good food, warm service, and relaxed energy set the tone. It’s perfect for couples who want to spend quality time together without the fuss — just you, your person, and a table worth lingering at.

Riverland, Eagle Street Pier is serving Valentine’s with a view. With the Brisbane River and Story Bridge as your backdrop, this riverside favourite pairs cocktails, shared chef’s specials, and live music from 6pm. Come before your date, stay after, or make a full night of it — the setting does half the romance for you.

Koala Tavern, Capalaba proves romance doesn’t need to be complicated. Their Perfect Pair Platter for two — bruschetta, cheese, pavlova, and a bottle of sparkling — is sweet, shareable, and exactly what Valentine’s should be. Easy, delicious, and great value if you’re after something relaxed but thoughtful.

💖 For your Galentine’s

Everton Park Hotel is all about celebrating friendship this Valentine’s Day. Grab your gals for an afternoon of candle making, bubbly sipping, and charcuterie sharing. You’ll leave with a handmade candle, a happy buzz, and that “we actually did something cute” feeling.

Bonny View Hotel is serving self-love energy with a Valentine’s Day Pinot & Picasso paint-and-sip. No date? No problem. Bring the girls or fly solo, sip wine, paint your heart out, and laugh your way through a creative night. Not into painting? You can still book a table and enjoy dinner — no pressure, no rules.

💕 Dates or Mates

Cannon Hill Tavern is doing Valentine’s with range. Start with a sharing-style specials menu, ease into the evening with a live jazz duo from 5.30pm, then — if the mood strikes — stay on for Valentine’s karaoke from 8pm. Romantic? Yes. Fun? Absolutely.

💋 Singles, Party People & After-Dark Energy

Fridays Sanctuary is throwing a Valentine’s Traffic Light Party — glow sticks included. Grab your colour at the door and let everyone know exactly where you stand: single, taken, or just here for the vibes. DJs spin late, the dance floor stays busy, and the rules are refreshingly simple.

Retros Brisbane invites you to step into Cupid’s Playground, where bold outfits, late nights, and main-character energy take over. Whether you’re single, taken, or somewhere deliciously in between, this is your excuse to dress up, dance it out, and stay up way past your bedtime.
