( www.epbar.com.au ; 189 William St; 1pm-midnight Thu-Tue) Down a much-graffitied lane leading
off William St, Ezra Pound is favoured by Northbridge's bohemian set. It's the kind of
place where you can settle into a red velvet chair and sup a Tom Collins out of a jam jar.
Earnest conversations about Kerouac and Kafka are strictly optional.

( www.399bar.com ; 399 William St; 10am-midnight Mon-Sat, to 10pm Sun; ) This friendly neighbour-
hood bar has booths along one side and a long bar down the other, making it easy to inter-
act with the engaging bar staff. Cocktails are artfully crafted, and there's a serious ap-
proach to beer and wine. Good-value tapas are three for $19, and 399 is also a good es-
presso and wi-fi stop during the day.
The Brisbane

( www.thebrisbanehotel.com.au ; 292 Beaufort St; 11.30am-late) It was a very clever architect indeed
who converted this classic corner pub (1898) into a thoroughly modern venue, where each
space seamlessly blends into the next. Best of all is the large courtyard where the phoenix
palms and ponds provide a balmy holiday feel. Dining, shooting pool or lazing on a
lounge are all options.
PUB
Brass Monkey

( www.thebrassmonkey.com.au ; cnr James & William Sts; 11am-1am Wed-Sat, to 10pm Sun) A massive 1897
pub with several different component parts, each with its own vibe: sit up on a stool at the
bar, lean back in the relaxed beer garden, or hunker down on a chesterfield by the fire (and
sports screen). Semidetached GrapeSkin is the Monkey's (slightly) more upmarket wine
and tapas bar.
PUB
The Bird

( http://williamstreetbird.com ; 181 William St; 1pm-midnight) Grungy indie bar that's always worth a
look for local bands and DJs. Upstairs there's a bricklined deck with city views.
