005. The villagers are a'coming: The Villager Hotel

185 George Street, Brisbane. Once home to a bar very ingeniously named George on George St, the newest inhabitants, The Villager Hotel is the newest kid on the block! They've just celebrated their first birthday and if they keep producing their goodies, I envisage many more birthdays to come.

The Villager Hotel: Gastrobar AND Supper Club. Isn't Brisbane upping their ante with sophisticated culinary gems like The Villager Hotel?


The Gastrobar is designed as a comfortable casual venue that allows you to indulge in a homely but oh so modern meal. The Villager offer delights from Wagyu burgers to grilled swordfish on truffled mash and everything delicious in between. If you're in a hurry, stop by the side walk window and pick up a gourmet toasted sandwich and coffee to go. If you have time, I highly suggest picking a few items from the tapas menu. Below is a picture of a tapas plate I greedily ordered:

L-R: Salmon Mousse Tartlets (to die for!), Prawn Croquettes with Harrisa mayonnaise and Tomato, Feta and Basil Bruschetta. 

Open til 2am (extremely rare in "Bris-Vegas") the Supper Club is located upstairs and offers an intimate venue (at night, lit by candles) for a more formal dining experience. Tucked away around a corner of the Supper Club is a chilled but beautiful space dubbed 'The Library'. Grab your friends for a night of cocktails and tapas to match and chill on the chocolate couches.


Offering a delectable range of quality and beautiful presented food and drink, The Villager Hotel is delightful venue for any occasion. On a first date? Tick! Hens night? Tick! Birthdays, company sponsored events or just because you want a bloody good cocktail? Tick, tick tick!
