Howard Smith Wharves is Brisbane’s game changing entertainment, dining and tourism destination, reactivating 3.4 hectares of Brisbane’s historic riverside underneath the iconic Story Bridge.
Originally constructed in the 1930s, the Howard Smith Wharves were a project to provide locals with relief work during the depression. Largely abandoned since the 1960s, these astonishing spaces are now heritage listed and have been restored to their former glory for locals and visitors to enjoy.
HSW is home to Felons Brewing Co., Arc Dining, Stanley, Greca, Ciao Papi, Yoko, Mr Percival’s overwater bar, abundant green spaces and picnic areas, two large, riverfront indoor event spaces with boutique event spaces for smaller events, and a luxury 5-star Art Series Hotel – The Fantauzzo. The focus at Howard Smith Wharves is overwhelmingly on generating spaces for locally made food and beverages to thrive. At HSW, visitors can dine at unique restaurants with both rising stars and acclaimed chefs at their helm, or sample fresh, locally roasted coffee and Brisbane brewed beer at Felons Brewing Co.
Events at Howard Smith Wharves follow the same philosophy, delivering inspired menus supporting Queensland’s best growers and makers, offering a tantalising food experience underpinned with an ethos of sophisticated simplicity delivered on a large scale.
