Perched directly under the Brisbane Powerhouse, Mary Mae’s delivers sunlit alfresco drinks right along the New Farm riverfront. Grab a table across the split-level terrace overlooking the water, settle in with a morning flat white or a cold draft pour, and catch the river breeze. Locals strolling off the Riverwalk treat the sun-drenched patio as their effortless refuel station, whether dropping in for burgers and crisp fries, sharing dip platters, or unwinding with dogs splashing in the outdoor wading pools. It’s an easy, unhurried outpost made for lazy afternoons watching CityCats glide past.
- Unobstructed River Views: Split-level outdoor terrace offering wide-open, unobstructed sights right on the river edge.
- Under Brisbane Powerhouse: Directly beneath the arts hub and adjoining New Farm Park, steps away from the scenic riverfront path.
- Dog-Friendly Amenities: Outdoor wading tubs to cool down four-legged guests, plus complimentary treats on the patio.

Before you head over
Practical guidance on ordering, transport, and visits along the river
Plan Around Peak Counter Service
Counter ordering can lead to queues near the DJ booth and patio, and separate group orders may arrive at staggered times. Order together when possible or visit during quieter midweek windows to minimise wait times.

Parking in New Farm can be tight during busy events, but the ferry terminal is just a few steps away along the river promenade for a smooth, car-free transit option.
