Cedar & Pine Bar — Restaurant in Brisbane City

Initially I came on here and gave two stars with an honest review of my experience, however recent events have called for an adjustment. Imagine sharing your experience at a venue, even giving credit where due (the food and staff) and having the owner who clearly can’t take criticism put you on display and create an avenue for you to be berated and attacked online. We all work hard, I’ve done the business owner thing and I’ve done the hard yards in retail and hospitality, and I have NEVER treated customers as poorly as Mali did our group. I understand people get stressed and have bad days, but there is a certain level of hospitality to be upheld, and believe me when I say we don’t have high standards or expect more than average service but as a collective struggled to comprehend just how we were made to feel like such burdens for placing simple food and drink orders. The food was great once it came, no issue saying that as this never was a spiteful review, it was an honest one. The staff were friendly and the venue is nice. However our spirits tasted terrible and when you turn your back to pour and all we can taste is soft drink is it not fair to assume the shots aren’t being filled correctly? A genuine apology for our terrible service would’ve sufficed, simple acknowledgement even but to handle it the way you did is disgraceful and my thoughts are with the poor staff and customers who ever dare bring up an issue with you in person. Perhaps put the boyfriend hunt on pause and delegate some time for...

Have recently moved to Wynnum, discovered the Cedar and Pine, it's cruisy fun crowd and it's owner, Mali.

Mali obviously loves being there...she seems to have a better time than anyone else I've seen working in a bar. She reminds of Alfie Langer playing half back for the Broncos..... he would have played for free.... so it's a giggle that he was paid to do essentially the same thing his parents couldn't stop him doing in their backyard for years.

The first time I noticed Mali, she was bouncing around singing as she picked up glasses. I was sure the owner was away and she was the best friend, just filling in.

Anyway... as well as setting the relaxed, chatty and fun tone... Mali seems to book musicians with a similar vibe. You'd have to try pretty hard to not have a great time at the...

After a recent a FB post about this place/owner I just wanted to place my honest (albeit overdue) review. We visited a couple of months ago and my gosh! We freaking loved it. My kinda playlist blasted and it was a grand old sing along. I felt like I was in my mates lounge room surrounded by friends. Even the sh*t songs (that i’d have done the same to) were cut off mid-song and changed (which I could not love hard enough)! It was awesome and just what the doctor ordered. Drinks and service were great also. If you’re ever in need of a good dance/sing with your pals, then this is the place for u. If I could give it 100 stars I would. Thanks for the hangover Mali. I’d do it again in a...
