Personal comments
The best place is a bar called Fridays down on the riverside in Brisbane city. Go up on a Wednesday night, which is unoffically student night, foods is great and drinks are reasonable. Thursday has to be spent in the Port Office hotel then onto the Victory. As for the weekend head down into the district know as the Valley and you should find a good spot.
