Want restaurants, clubs and entertainment all within one convenient location? Then look no further than
Caxton Street in the groovy inner city suburb of Paddington.
Caxton Street has long been a destination for locals who are enticed by the wide selection of restauarants (the iconic seafood eatery
Gambaros [
33 Caxton Street] is one of Brisbane's oldest) and clubs (like good-time favourites such as
Hotel LA [
68 Petrie Terrace] and the
Caxton Hotel [
38 Caxton Street]). For a fun night out, there's also the
Sit Down Comedy Club (
186 Given Terrace), Le Blanc Contemporary Art gallery (The Barracks, Petrie Terrace) and live music every Friday night at the Palace Cinema. But Caxton Street is more than just a nightlife destination. For a unique, high end shopping experience, try
The Barracks (
61 Petrie Terrace).
Opening in 2008, The Barracks has come a long way since its early days as Brisbanes first jail. These days, the modern shopping centre houses retail outlets, gourmet food retailers (including
Bittersweets - the Chocolate Boutique) and fine dining - try
The Chelsea for breakfast,
Peasant for tapas and
Libertine for a gourmet night out. The Barracks is also home to
The Palace Cinemas, one of Brisbanes few remaining (and perhaps the most elegant) art house movie theatres. Shoppers are entitled to two hours free parking.
More than just a post-Suncorp Stadium venue, Caxton Street dishes food, fashion and fun every day (and night) of the week.
