Howard Smith Wharves

I recently attended an event with the PA Network at Howard Smith Wharves, and I couldn’t have been more impressed! This was my first visit, and it’s safe to say HSW is a standout venue in Brisbane. Diverse, vibrant, and absolutely brimming with character, HSW offers something for everyone, making it the ideal spot for any type of gathering or celebration. The variety here is amazing, with each space offering a unique vibe and experience: Ciao Papi – Fresh Italian cuisine paired with stunning river views. Stanley – Cantonese flavors in a beautifully moody setting. Mr Percival’s – Laid-back river dining, perfect for relaxing. Felons Brewing Co. – Casual and relaxed, ideal for unwinding with friends. Rivershed – Spacious and versatile, great for larger events. Bougainvillea House – A breathtaking space that’s simply stunning. Green House – Charming and cozy, perfect for intimate gatherings. Stanley Exclusive – Sophisticated cocktails in a luxe, intimate atmosphere. Whether you’re after fine dining, casual bites, or a relaxed drink by the river, HSW delivers with a vibrant atmosphere and endless choices to suit any style. I highly recommend connecting with Harriet Jobson and her team—they bring incredible passion, creativity, and expertise, ensuring every event is unique and unforgettable. Howard Smith Wharves is a must-visit venue that truly has something for everyone!

There are a few restaurants and some kids are playing on the sand and pirate boat as well. Besides, you can play table tennis with somebody and drink some beers here (Felons Barrel Hall). (I forgot to take photos of that). Nice place for a big family!

So much to do and see. Great restaurants, amazing views and Felons has a laid back vibe, with their own brews on hand. Grab a table, or find a bean bag and just enjoy the moments. I also recommend Greca for an amazing dining experience.

I was visiting from the South Burnett and didn't know where to go to get a good meal that wouldn't break the bank. I stumbled upon HSW and Felons and the meal I had was amazing. I had a lovely waiter who really looked after me and as I will be back in Brisbane this week, I will return.

We were really surprised by how cool the wharves are. We arrived by boat taking the city hopper and really enjoyed walking around the wharves. There are lots of spaces to eat, drink, chill, sunbath. You have gigantic brewery spots if you love beer. We ate at the Chinese restaurant Stanley and took a beer at Felons and chilled on the bean bags. Definitely a must see

Fantastic place & position, Felons Brewing takes up nearly all of it if not not all of it. Plenty of food options & great even for kids as a big boat turned into a playground.

This place is buzzing (even on a Sunday night), looks like they have taken all the business away from Southbank and Fortitude Valley (which was much quieter the same evening). Lots of eateries and places to drink. Great views of story bridge and just an awesome vibe.

Came for lunch on a Saturday. Used the secure parking (booked online). The Beer Hall has a different menu to the rest of Felons. Some vegan options on both. Food was great (cauliflower curry -HUGE, and the papaya salad. Son had the Cheeseburger- it's a rip-off). Beers were fine. The Seltzers are interesting and tasty.
