6 The Barracks, 61 Petrie Tce, Petrie Terrace; 7-11am & noon-2.30pm Mon-Fri, 5pm-late
Tue-Sat)
Brisbane's old police barracks have been converted into a complex of quality bars
and eateries, the pick of which is cool Cabiria. It's a skinny, dimly lit, moody room with
big mirrors and shimmering racks of booze (35 different tequilas). Awesome New
York-style sandwiches, too.

1 Musgrave Rd; 10am-3pm)
A handsome 1889 redbrick pub on the end
of Petrie Tce, with a beer garden under a vast fig tree. Goes nuts during 'Sunday Sessions'
(boozy wakes for the weekend).
PUB
Caxton Hotel

;
38 Caxton St, Petrie Tce; 11am-late)
The Caxton St strip off Petrie Tce used to
be hip, but it's become a trashy collection of hyped-up bars and cheap kebab joints. But if
you're dying for a beer, the old yellow Caxton Hotel remains a reasonably grounded op-
tion, with mainstream music and non-stop rugby on the big screens.
