About Riverbar & Kitchen

Yellow umbrellas mark the riverfront terrace at Eagle Street Pier, looking directly across water toward Story Bridge. Hop off the CityCat and claim an outdoor table—regulars treat it as their CBD refuge. The kitchen turns out grilled barramundi with roasted tomatoes, capers, and olives alongside comforting braised beef brisket pot pies. QR ordering keeps tap beers and signature Lonely Fans cocktails moving without table waits, while counter ordering stays ready inside. Evenings ease into riverside breezes, crisp chips with aioli, and sunset pints right along the boardwalk.

  • Story Bridge Views: Open-air boardwalk terrace seating offers sweeping views of the Brisbane River and Story Bridge under trademark yellow umbrellas.
  • Riverfront Dining: Hearty comfort dishes include braised beef brisket pot pie and grilled barramundi served with roasted tomatoes, olives, and capers.
  • Flexible Table Ordering: Digital table codes speed up drinks and meals, with counter ordering also open for quick flexibility.

Advantages

Why diners choose Riverbar & Kitchen for scenic dining and social gatherings

  • Panoramic Riverfront Views

    Open-air boardwalk seating offers sweeping panoramas of the Brisbane River and Story Bridge from daytime through evening.

    This is arguably the best seat in the house for a 180-degree view of the Story Bridge and the Brisbane River.

  • Relaxed Alfresco Atmosphere

    Bright yellow umbrellas and waterfront breezes create an inviting outdoor setting for casual drinks and dining.

    Sitting right on the river, the views are stunning and the iconic yellow umbrellas make it the perfect spot to relax and soak up the river views.

    Feasting with Zen

  • Shareable Food and Drinks for Groups

    Generous share plates, wood-fired options, and cocktail jugs cater smoothly to celebratory group dining and social meetups.

    Riverbar is the king of the shareable cocktail. Their jugs, like the Lychee Mojito or the Watermelon Mimosa, are basically summer in a glass and are perfect for catching up with a group.

  • Seamless Group Gatherings

    Dedicated event handling and attentive hospitality make large milestones and social functions run without friction.

    We’ve hosted and attended many functions over the years, and I can honestly say this experience was one of the most seamless. Calvin and his team made everything feel effortless.

  • Frictionless Table Ordering

    Fast, seamless digital ordering and payment directly at the table keep casual meetups running smoothly.

    The QR-code menu, with online ordering and payment, proved intuitive and practical, making the whole experience smooth from start to finish.

  • Flexible Ordering Choices

    Guests can choose between ordering quickly on their phone via QR code or walking up to the counter for direct service.

    Although they have a QR code system, they're happy to take an order at the counter (unlike some places..)
