Howard Smith Wharves
$Riverside drinks and dining tucked under the Story Bridge
Spend an evening moving between bars and restaurants built into the cliffs directly beneath the Story Bridge. The heritage-listed wharf buildings sit right on the water, with the illuminated bridge overhead and the city skyline across the river. Felons Brewing Co is the social hub, walk-in, craft beer and pizza. Mr Percival's is a waterfront bar with a resort feel, also walk-in. Greca serves modern Greek, bookings recommended. The Fiume rooftop bar on Level 3 of the Crystalbrook Vincent hotel has panoramic views.
