About Mr Percival's

Brisbane locals head straight to this overwater pavilion tucked under the Story Bridge for open-air riverfront drinks. The central bar features a live DJ booth perched overhead, steering the energy as afternoon rolls into evening. Patrons gather over share plates of Moreton Bay bug rolls and seared scallops, paired with crisp martinis or a coconut margarita frappé. Outside tables look straight across the water toward the city skyline, where the kitchen finishes dinner orders of steak flanked by savory mushrooms.

  • Overwater Bridge Views: Open-air seating directly beneath the Story Bridge delivers sweeping vantage points across the river to the city skyline.
  • Elevated DJ Booth: A live DJ spins from an elevated perch positioned right above the main bar, driving the venue's upbeat tempo.
  • Waterfront Bites & Drinks: The kitchen sends out Moreton Bay bug rolls, seared scallops, and steak with mushrooms alongside mixed drinks and frappé cocktails.

Before you head over

Practical advice for seating, ordering, and timing your visit along the river

  • Arrive Early for Prime Waterfront Tables

    Seating right on the water under Story Bridge can fill up quickly by late afternoon, while quieter periods like Sunday evenings or earlier weekday afternoons offer easy walk-in seating.

  • Target Afternoon Happy Hour Window

    Take advantage of weekday afternoon happy hour between 3:00 PM and 5:00 or 6:00 PM for discounted cocktails and small plates, using table QR codes for fast drink service.

  • Pack a Light Layer for Temperature Shifts

    While outdoor tables have heaters for cooler evenings, indoor bar seating can be chilled by strong air conditioning, so carry a light layer or scarf if you transition inside.
