A must see, best spot in Brisbane in my opinion! Great views of Brisbane River, Iconic Story Bridge and the CBD, especially at night. Felons Brewery is located in a large wharf shed and Mr Percivals is a popular Mediterranean style Bar build over the river. Large grassed areas and room for kids to play.
