A sophisticated New Farm affair, Gertie's always seems to have groups of good-look-
ing city girls sipping cocktails inside the fold-back windows (…do you think management
pays them to sit there?). But even without the eye-candy, Gertie's - a moodily-lit corner
bar with old soul on the stereo and retro photos on the walls - is a great place for a low-
key drink or a bowl of pasta and a glass of wine.
Bar Alto

Brisbane Powerhouse, 119 Lamington St, New Farm; 11am-late Tue-Sun)
Inside the
arts-loving Powerhouse, this snappy upstairs bar/restaurant has an enormous balcony with
chunky timber tables overlooking the river - a mighty fine vantage point any time of day.
