South Bank, Brisbane
South Bank is Brisbane's front lawn: the parklands and Streets Beach along the river, the Grey Street dining strip behind them, and the cultural precinct — QAGOMA, the museum and the Performing Arts Centre — anchoring the northern end. Technically it sits inside South Brisbane, but nobody navigates it that way, so it gets its own page.
Everything below is plotted on our isometric map of the precinct — restaurants and the riverside hotels first, verified profiles leading each list.
