There are few people better placed to recommend a good spot for a gig, a drink, or a great feed in Brisbane. This is the Concrete Surfers’ Travel Playbook.

Brisbane

"Probably why I like Black Bear, you finish your show, you go to the toilet when you come back out. It's just like, complete different world. Yeah, probably my favorite venue to play plus the sound that it's really cool for a band like us, you know, just gets loud and packs out really nice."

"I like Fat Carrot in West End. It's pretty yummy. Get a nice vegetarian banh mi roll. And if you're not veggie, they have good chicken and duck and other options."

"I've been smashing TatsuRamen and Gyoza bar in the valley. I think that's the best ramen in Brisbane. Everyone's so friendly there. It's cheap, and the food's just really good."

"If you've been to a gig or whatever in the valley, get 5 Dogs. I had it three times in one night. I’d been out since like 6pm. Even after that I’d still get it."

"I just kind of love the fact that the Zoo is still just a venue like you go, you got your ticket, you watch the bands, and then they might or might not have the DJ set after when you go elsewhere. I just think it's cool that they're kind of stuck to their guns."
