Makin it Rain 1

New Opening | Holey Moley set to open up at Wintergarden

This fabulous city of ours is about to get even better with a whole new level of fun landing at Wintergarden in the CBD.

On the 29th of November, Holey Moley will open up their second location at Wintergarden, bringing its cocktail bar meets mini-golf course, retro party and social commentary locale slash all-out cool vibe to the city. I don’t about ya’ll but i think this is going to my new after work cocktail spot on a Friday!

Holey Moley Wintergarden will feature nine hilariously preposterous mini golf holes including:

  • True Blue Green, a tribute to Aussie legend, Steve Irwin
  • Vincent Van Golf, putt through a replica of Vincent van Gogh’s bedroom
  • A Hop, Skip and A Gump,  a Forrest Gump theme, complete with shrimp and a box of chocolates
  • Drop It Like It’s Slot, a wacky slot machine
  • Ferris Wheeler’s Day Off, a delightful day at the funfair with a helter-skelter, ferris wheel, popcorn and prizes
  • Makin’ it Rain, try to take a shot in a room full of flying cash!
  • Hole 9 & ¾, Harry Potter themed – can magic help you get a hole in one?
  • Gone Fishin’, a double-level hole featuring the ocean and all its mysteries including a huge, ferocious shark, and Kong Live the King, try to avoid the giant primate atop the Empire State Building!

To soak up the alcohol and fuel the fun, they will have on offer Stone Baked Pizzas and their legendary burgers, the Holey Cheezus and the Dirty Birdie plus some soul warming soul.

If you are still looking for a work Christmas party venue, this will be a sure winner but you better get in quick with the group bookings.

Overall Experience: 10/10

Food: 10/10

Nothing beats a lovely, warm Winters day overlooking the Brisbane River, spending some alone time and indulging on exquisite food. Blackbird Bar & Grill recently launched their new lunch menu which is packed with flavour. I ordered the Steak Frites and  a Watercress salad, just enough for one.

The Steak Frites was one of the most amazing dishes I have had in a while. The flavours were perfect for a Winters day, buttery and spicy, wholesome goodness. The Shoestring Fries as a side worked a treat at bringing some crunch into the meal. Quite surprising that my amazing main only set me back $24.

The Watercress Salad was lovely and fresh, with pear and walnuts. The combination works a treat offset with blue cheese dressing. Seeing as I was having a lovely day to myself, I made sure I ordered a sneaky wine too. I honestly cannot wait to go back!
