Howard Smith Wharves: Proposal for Unique Overwater Bar & Music Venue

The Howard Smith Wharves (HSW) development has announced an exciting proposal for a 280 square metre overwater champagne bar and music venue, reports Brisbanedevelopment.com.

 

The octagonal bar will be stationed directly under the Story Bridge, expanding out onto the river on a new public boardwalk. The bar itself will be situated inside in the middle of the building, opening out onto a substantial outdoor lounge area on the pier boardwalk.

 

The five-star, 164 room Art Series Hotel is expected to be completed in 2019 which will consist of conference facilities, roof-top pool an four retail ground-level tenancies.

  

Last month the food and beverage outlets for HSW were announced and they included: “Fresh Greek” restaurant by restaurateur/chef Jonathan Barthelmess (Sydney); Hong Kong Chinese style eatery by restaurateur Andrew Baturo who is also co-owner of The Gresham (Brisbane); “Izakaya”, a Japanese restaurant by Matt Yazbek which is an extension of Sydney and Melbourne locations; a craft brewery; a bakery; and a coffee roaster.

 

The HSW site is 3.43 hectares in site, which will include 2.7 hectares of public space when complete, and will connect New Farm Riverwalk and the CBD. In addition, the project will be a new site for such public events and festivals and markets, include an underground carpark for 359 vehicles, and include 1500 square metres on exhibition space.  The estimated value of the project is $110 million.
