    A lovely little wine bar to stop in n share a quiet drink with friends. The staff are lovely and helpful. There is not a great selection of food so if ur looking for dining as well, you will need to ho somewhere else. I would love more selections of good so I couldve stayed longer as I lived sitting here enjoying a wine. (Can order some food eg. Grazing board).

    One of Townsville best kept secrets! Lovely refined but relaxed atmosphere, good food and excellent service. Good wine selection. It’s our go-to place for out of town visitors or date night. And nice to have a drink before or after in the brewery.

    This place is amazing. Great food, plus Music Bingo and Trivia every Tuesday and Wednesday night. They have so many good beers on tap and their food is absolutely the best I’ve had in town so far. Very very highly recommend Townsville Brewing Co
