The converted old power station in New Farm, that is the Brisbane Powerhouse, is one of my favourite spots in Brisbane and a "must-see" for out-of-towners. Situated along Brisbane River, there is so much charm in this former industrial venue, which combines the old and the new perfectly. I love that Brisbane Powerhouse has something for everyone, catering for all... More

I'm a frequent visitor to shows at the Powerhouse. I've been to shows that have been part of the Brisbane Comedy Festival which have all been of high quality. Recently I saw Tripod there which was first class. I've also seen some theatre that might be considered experimental - the cost of which suggests the quality to expect - that... More

A great combination of theatre, music, concerts and one of our favorites Restaurants in the City: "Alto". Great views of the River and the City and casual ambiance. They did a great job renovating an Old Power House and converting it into a Performance place with good Restaurants. Check their website to see their schedule and drive there for a... More

We were driving around Bris Vagas & came across the Power House. Although we didn't eat here the place was packed with locals & the food looked amazing. We will go back for a meal soon. Possibly lunch with friends.

Me and my partner has been here a couple of times to watch the sunday sessions of stand up comedy, both times we have been more than pleased with the atmosphere and friendly staff.. Only had drinks so far but the food looks really good, thick cut chips and pizaz served on a board. Great venue that's got a bit... More

I have been living in Brisbane for nearly 2 years and the Brisbane Powerhouse is hands down my favourite place. Whether it is alone with my baby, or with friends, I love to have a pot of tea (one of the best and cheapest in town) and sit on the balcony at Bar Alto, overlook the river and contemplate life....

Look no can say that Brisbane has the wide city street of Melbourne or the harbour and beaches of sydney and to be honest it fight to even come up for air V's Adelaide and Perth but what it does offer and very very strongly compete in is real lifestyle .... Now people don't come on holidays to see lifestyle... More

nice place to visit for cultural events, shows, and seize the opportunity to have a drink on the restaurant terrace which offers a great view to the river by night

The Powerhouse is a great place to enjoy a relaxed drink on the patio with a view of the river. There's always an interesting exhibit up. And the building itself is gorgie. Add to that that every Sunday there's free music and comedy, and the Powerhouse is a winner.
