Cosy Up at These Restaurants & Bars with Fireplaces in Brisbane
Your date night needn’t compromise on cosiness – just head to one of these bars with a fireplace in Brisbane.
Historically, Brisbane folk aren’t equipped to deal with the cold. Our sunny, tropical state doesn’t spend long in the single-digit temps, so there are really only a few weeks of the year that call for heavy coats, fireplaces and mulled wine on the menu.
But if you do need to tear yourself away from the cosy warmth of home for social reasons, why not steer the plans towards one of these restaurants or bars with a fireplace in Brisbane? From romantic, intimate settings to roomy group dining situations, these venues tick all the boxes for cold-weather culinary exploration.
Scroll on to find our favourite winter warmer dining destinations – some of which pair perfectly with a winter escape, might we add…
Bars with Fireplaces in Brisbane
Hundred Acre Bar
This bar with a fireplace in Brisbane is the perfect blend of rustic, comfort and flavour… and just wait until you see the views! Spanning 100 acres (just like the woodland home of Winnie-the-Pooh) of manicured golfing greens, there’s a fresh river breeze that adds to the relaxation and ambience of the Hundred Acre Kitchen & Bar in St Lucia.
With a cosy wood fireplace in the corner, we can think of few diners better suited to winter dining, cosy date nights or wholesome family outings.
Carawa Street, Saint Lucia
Hope and Anchor
It’s only natural that an English-style pub would be equipped with a fireplace for those frosty nights when you don’t want to be at home, but you also don’t want to be without a heat source.
Ambience and atmosphere are off the charts here, with sash windows, candlelit tables and exposed sandstock brick walls. This old heritage-listed bakery was once a cottage, and the menus are a nod to the British settlers who originally built in the area.
The Hope & Anchor has differing menus for breakfast, lunch and dinner with a diverse take on modern pub classics, so it’s easy to slip into the habit of making this pub with a fireplace your regular winter haunt.
267 Given Terrace, Paddington
The Kenmore Tavern
If you’re on Brisbane’s south-western edge, head into the Kenmore Tavern to cosy up with a beverage by the fire this winter. This friendly pub has been a long-term favourite haunt for locals looking for somewhere casual and easy to wind down, and they’ve got plenty of screens around if you’re keen for somewhere warm to watch the footy.
On the menu, you’ll find hearty comfort food a la succulent steaks, seafood and pizza, along with all your favourite pub classic feeds.
841 Moggill Road, Kenmore

The Paddock Restaurant
The dining area at Beechmont Estate is the hub (and beating heart) of the accommodation and features a large fireplace, surrounded by comfortable lounges. The friendly staff at The Paddock are more than happy to stoke up a fresh fire for you, while you sink into the lounge with your morning coffee, midday matcha or afternoon cocktails.
It certainly adds to the rustic and cosy factor at this luxurious escape, so if you’re just visiting for a meal, perhaps arrive a little earlier (or linger a little longer) to enjoy some time by the fire.
Sitchu Tip: The Paddock is hatted, so we recommend booking here for special occasions or romantic date nights.
