Oxford Street is a trendy shopping and dining precinct located in the riverside suburb of Bulimba.
Visitors will find a variety of restaurants, cafes and bars sure to attract the fussiest of consumers located conveniently along one street. Try one of these:
*
Grill'd, for an old fashioned burger and
*Pancho's Pizza, an Italian restaurant that is strangely decked out in Mexican decor.
Also worth checking out are two Oxford Street institutions;
Riverbend Books, a bookstore and tea house that serves light meals, and
Oxford 152, a stylish, gastronomic bar.
The
Balmoral movie theatre on Oxford Street is a turn of the century building that retains many of its old features, including marble floors and ornate trimmings in the cinemas. The complex has six cinemas and ticket prices are amongst the lowest in Brisbane (from $8.50 for an adult.)
And fashionistas will enjoy exploring the boutiques and knick knack stores along this strip. You won't find any big name designers, but you will find treasures like
My First Room,
Park Bench Espresso Bar and Little Red Dress.
Oxford Street is an eclectic mix of quirky, designer, bargain and high end establishments. The area is easily accessed by
bus or
CityCat.
