Press Club — Restaurant in Brisbane City

Went for pre dinner drinks last night as it was recommended by friends and we were on holiday. Cocktails were $10, although i ordered a classic margarita and asked for fresh lemon and lime instead of the lime in a bottle and was told that was $20 a cocktail size glass, whereas my friends ordered the tommy margaritas were given a larger glass with decoration and were charged only $10. They advertised that $10 margaritas were served between 7pm and 9pm, therefore because we ordered them in this time frame and i was charged $20 and they $10 then this was a disappointment. The place had a nice atmosphere with opulent furnishings and had mood music all plusses.

The DJ who took over on breaks from the band played great R n B songs. There's a large area for seating and carpets that absorb some of the sound but this often gets squishy from liquids. The crowd was polite, with many people trying to pass through and there were lots of couples making out everywhere! Would have been a 4 star but the music was deafening and my ears are still ringing after I left, plus sticky floors make...

After attending on Friday evening for a work event, I probably received some of the worst service I’ve ever encountered. I normally endeavor to leave only good reviews and refrain from posting the poor ones as I understand we all have bad days and are put under pressure. However the combination of a bar tender flipping a dirty drink glass off of the bar table when asked for a clean one along with a manager that was abusive, vulgar, and disgusting is too much. If I could recommend anything less for service, it would be the press bar. Only positive was that the band was superb and created a great atmosphere. If only the staff didn’t dampen...
