In Brisbane


Dicey Rieleys, Garden City

Reviewed by Saint

As Irish as chicken vindaloo, this is a pub where the beer is cheap and the women are cheaper the atmosphere is always mixed between fun fights and f**king, but the staff are hot ... especially Jamie. Bouncers in this country leave a lot to be desired and none more than in this pub where they make a stupid snail feel smart. All in all, this is a great pub if for no other reason, it is where I met the Australian members of KIDDA. This is KIDDA's kind of sh*t hole!

P. J. O'Brian's

Reviewed by Saint

This pub is as Irish as a Scotsman in Brisbane but I love this place for the line a girl used to lure me to her bed after Ireland were beaten by England at rugby ... an English girl turned to me and said do you fancy getting f**ked by the English twice tonight? Great line, great time I love this pub as it is fun and always good humor. Once again a real KIDDA pub.

Gold Class Bar, some cinema, Garden City

Reviewed by Saint

Best bar in Australia. Staff are great, beer is cool and it's in a cinema ... where else can you sit, drink, watch a film and eat in reclining seats. I love this place and if your really lucky the Scottish member of staff, the Saint, yes International Captain will serve you! How cool is that! This is a fine place we all love.

Dooley's - The Valley

Reviewed by Saint and Wilko

This pub consists of 4 great bar's: Tom's bar, where we discovered the beauty of Dooley's, real live Irish music courtesy of Ger.  The pool room and TAB, where we sat outside on a sunny hot winter's day to kick our celebrations of the 3rd KIDDA anniversary. Then there's the public bar where they have karaoke, and were Saint and Wilko met the man to can down a scooner in less than 1 second, yes that's correct, blink and you'll miss it. Another memory that the public bar has for Saint is when he and Guitar performed a fantastic rendition of "good golly miss molly." The last bar is apparently called Trinity, don't ask what that bar's about 'cause non of us has been there 'cause there's never anyone in there so to must be sh1te.

Over all the Dooley's experience is wonderful a whole night of live music in one building.

Mustang Bar - The Valley

Reviewed by Saint and Wilko

Get ready for the law suit people.

This is a public health warning!

This place sucks! In a world of crap bars, this place takes the biscuit! If the world was given an enema, this would be the entrance point. No atmosphere, bar staff are in the same place as the atmosphere and on 2 separate occasions Saint and Guitar were ejected for no reason.

Wilko likes the shirts that decorate the wall, and they do have sport on the TV.

The Runcorn

Reviewed by Saint and Wilko

Three words describe this place, "spit and sawdust." This is quite possibly the most comfortable pub in the world, situated in the suburb of Runcorn (some pubs in Australia have original names). The only point this place looses was starting a karaoke half an hour into an England Australia rugby match (England won.)

This place is owned by John Satler, Queensland rugby league great who played 75 minutes of a grand final with a broken jaw. And a top bloke and Australian.

Instead of all the license crap its a suburban pub full of locals all that info goes along with that.

Treasury Casino

Reviewed by Saint and Wilko

Many a night has started and more have ended at this landmark building, the Old Treasury Building, for Brisbane city is now a cool casino.

This fantastic night spot is fun as we play black jack to try and win the T.F.H. or end up walking back to the asylum.

With over 7 bars and 3 restaurants you can get served alcohol for 24 hours. Classy fanny and top league hunks makes this a cool place to be. As the advert says if it's not treasury it's not good enough.

The Elephant and Wheelbarrow

Reviewed by Saint and Wilko

Hey a British pub!

The bar staff wear badges saying where there from so we had a cockney welsh girl serving us and a scottish Asian, go figure. A pleasant place to drink and I get British beer ... I almost cried when I found it. On Sundays they serve xxxx on the wood so Eddie is happy too.

This is a pleasant place decorated like ye olde English tavern and playing cheesy pop music. This is a little piece of home in a distant land.
