Dear Neighbour
We are excited to announce the return of Night Feast, Brisbane’s premier creative and culinary event, from 16 October to 10 November 2024. This spring, Night Feast will feature a vibrant menu of food, immersive art and music throughout the Brisbane Powerhouse precinct.
This season brings back fan-favourite restaurants such as Donna Chang, Gerard’s, Hoy Pinoy, Southside, Mary Mae’s, La Mano, Wonderbao, Anchalee’s, Bugster’s, Ngon, Lek’s Thai and Louis B. Additionally, we’ll welcome new offerings from Gelato Messina, Central, Byblos, Diviners x Savile Row, Allonda, Calida, and Cartel Del Taco. The Sapporo Izakaya also returns with iconic Japanese restaurant Boom Boom Room.
Traffic and Parking
During the event, we anticipate increased traffic and full carparks at Brisbane Powerhouse. To manage this, patron vehicle access to Lamington Street will be reduced when carparks reach capacity. These restrictions will apply from Wednesday to Friday, 4.30pm to 9pm, and on Saturday and Sunday, 3pm to 9pm. We understand this may cause some inconvenience, but it’s necessary to ensure safety and smooth traffic flow.
To assist our traffic controllers in recognising local residents and prioritising your street access, we’ve attached a sign for your vehicle. Please display this sign on your dashboard or the underside of your sun visor. If you need additional copies, they are available at the Brisbane Powerhouse front desk.
We kindly remind you to follow all traffic regulations and to park in designated areas only.
Council Patrols
Brisbane City Council Parking Compliance Officers will be patrolling the precinct and surrounding streets during the event. Council operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so if you have concerns about illegal parking we encourage you to report it directly to Council on (07) 3403 8888 so they can investigate.
If you have any feedback or suggestions on traffic management, please write to us at [email protected] or call (07) 3358 8622. General neighbourhood announcements can be found here: https://brisbanepowerhouse.org/neighbourhood/
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we work to improve traffic conditions and safety in our community.

Dear Neighbour
Today Brisbane Powerhouse launched a unique event on the roof of its building. Entitled Vertigo, it will be the city’s first vertical restaurant, an exclusive gastronomic dining experience four stories above the ground overhanging Brisbane Powerhouse’s façade.
Combining high adventure with fine dining, guests are escorted to the rooftop, where they don safety harnesses and climb out to their seats to experience sky-high city views and a 17 metre drop beneath their feet.
Adventurers are served a meal crafted by Brisbane Powerhouse restaurant Bar Alto using local ingredients. Once dinner is complete, diners have the option to descend through Brisbane Powerhouse or end the meal with one final adrenalin burst by dropline down the building’s façade.
Opening October 2023, Vertigo’s eight mounted tables (16 places) are available to book each evening, Thursday to Sunday, weather permitting.
As the project is a quiet dining experience (ie. no music or sound) and the numbers participating are limited, we anticipate minimal impact on the neighbouring community.

Yours sincerely
Brisbane Powerhouse
