My partner and I reached out to Bar Pacino to book our moving away/29th birthday/engagement party. We spoke with Annie who kindly assisted us in organising the event. She was very prompt with all of her emails and helping us to create a beautiful evening for our guests! We had a space on the balcony for 30 people. It was great to be right in front of the DJ and we were able to get some beautiful photos! The venue is just stunning, the food platters were massive and absolutely delicious. Having the QR code to order drinks is extremely convenient. Holly was our host, she was soooo so friendly in welcoming us and looking after us. She brought out our cake with a sparkler and took a great group shot of everyone - much appreciated! We also had Ayesha, John and Chris looking after us. They all did an amazing job. We had so many compliments on how the staff were so accomodating and friendly. Management should be very proud, we had a night that we will always remember :) 100% would recommend and we are very appreciate of the amazing service! Thank you to everyone!

Had my wife's birthday party here and I couldn't give this place a good enough review based on the service and food we got. We booked a space for from 6pm and although I arrived an hour early to set up they already had a space roped off for us. All staff were more than happy to help me with anything I need to put up balloons, birthday banners, etc. We had great communication with the staff throughout the night ensuring food was brought out on time, any dietary requirements were meet with no hassle...we did let them know this in advance. We felt we only got a basic package with food but what was served was excellent quality and all our guests were extremely pleased. Due to covid we were encouraged to order through an app but drinks were promptly served and, again, no one had any complaints. I would definitely recommend this venue for a private booking and can't wait to come back there for some casual drinks and food next time we're in the city and want to enjoy the excellent views this place has to offer!!

Personally, best place in Brisbane CBD for quick catch up with friends or a wild night out. As soon as you walk in you are welcomed by their lovely staff who are super attentive and always try their best to cater to your needs. The place has a great ambiance, decoration and THE BEST VIEWS of the Victoria Bridge, Brisbane River and Customs House. I have started my nights there at around 5 p.m til late night, being able to experience those views from broad daylight to sunset to night, with those beautiful city lights and skyline. The drinks are to die for, if you like something sweet and refreshing go for the Best I've Ever Had cocktail, trust me, you won't stop at just one. The food is also excellent. They have an inexpensive and varied menu with share plates for all tastes, and their potato pizza is just mouth watering. Only downside is they're not open on Sundays

Saturday night was our first time at this amazing venue for a wedding celebration. We were impressed from the moment we arrived! Gorgeous city view, fabulous spacious function room, delicious food ( compliments to the chef for the vegan menu, it was high quality and generous, and to the staff who served it to me discretely and with details about each course) The bar staff were all super friendly and so fun, shout out to Lachlan! Thanks Lachlan for being so charming and sweet even as we got quite hydrated haha!! One waitress in particular was also extra lovely to our table, I forgot to make a note but we think it was Chaila. Overall a memorable night!

Do NOT recommend for a function if you want to be able to hear anything. We had over 100 people with 20 kids and there was limited seating. Food came out sparingly, and there was only one bar tender to cater for us. It does have wonderful views and the food was tasty. Staff were very helpful but they just couldn't accomodate our size group.

This is a cool little place tucked away behind the office towers. Has spectacular river and bridge views and the outside area has large tables big enough for a small group. They do tapas type stuff as well as "proper" meals. Been here a few times and the staff are brilliant and really friendly. Good beers on tap and a decent wine selection. Breakfast, lunch or dinner - I've done them all and not had a bad experience. Really worth a visit as the views and atmosphere are amazing and the food is good and not wallet-busting.

Yesterday me and my team had our work xmas function at bar pacino, the quality of service is next level, in particular Liam who took care of our table and another female wait staff who also stood out for us, i wish i got her name, who also serviced our table the entire time, took every single request we had with a smile, hard to find such a well serviced place these days! The food was also amazing, hot, fresh and delicious..i would recommend this place to anybody wanting to hold a function or just a night out

Pros: Had daughters 21st Birthday Party last night, we were river front under cover with 30 guests. Event staff/Bar staff were very efficient, security was excellent, view looking over water at Storey bridge was breathtaking. Food platters had a good variety and were delicious. Would recommend for functions or night out. Cons: DJ didnt play modern popular music and wouldn't play any of our requests. Can get very noisy with music and lots of people in one area (several functions).

Bar Pacino hosted my wife's 50th birthday party last night. A brilliant event, made even more so by the beautiful venue, and excellent staff, especially our host, Liam. The staff couldn't have been more helpful from the booking process right through to the event. The food was plentiful, affordable and delicious. Even when it started to shower the staff kicked into action and brought us inside to our own space. Can't recommend highly enough. Worth booking for your next event.

Amazing venue! My partner had his 50th birthday party at Bar Pacino last week and the service was outstanding. We were looked after from the time of booking right to the end of the event. Annie was excellent in coordinating the evening and Neil was fabulous at running everything on the night. Beautiful venue, food was great, bar staff were lovely - we will be definitely be going back - and so will all of our friends!

Fantastic view at night and basically we just drop by here and looked this wonderful view last month. Were so surprised and found out that this place and food here are so delicious and we have a place to look after whenever we can come and visit here again.

Lunch 8/10/22. We were a group of 20 celebrating our wedding. The staff here are exceptional - they were all friendly, attentive and accomodating, really made our day special. I can't speak highly enough of them so thank you all. Add to that the amazing location overlooking the river and some great food as well. We have visited Bar Pacino many times over the years and have never been dissappointed.

I attended as part of a hens night, the food platter was amazing, drinks were brought out quickly, staff were lovely and atmosphere was great. The only let down was the DJ.... he just played songs..... would have been cheaper for the venue to just have a speaker playing Spotify in the corner. Possibly would love to come back if they mix up the entertainment, which they may do! I'm not sure :)

We had our wedding reception lunch at Bar Pacino on a Saturday and it was perfect! Annie was extremely helpful with all the booking details and always quick to reply to all of my queries. The food was delicious and all the staff were super friendly and helpful on the day. It was the perfect location for a special celebration! We would highly recommend Bar Pacino to anyone!

I came here after a friends birthday dinner for a few cocktails. The bartenders were very friendly and helpful, they even made us some custom cocktails. They have a wide variety of cocktail options, along with a variety of spirits and on tap options. The view of the river and story bridge from the seating outside is spectacular. I can’t wait to come back here again!

My work had a xmas party at the end of 2021. Pizzas they gave us was good. My colleagues said the food they got before I arrived was good too. All the staff were really polite, while my colleagues weren't overly rowdy I still appreciate the bar pacino staffs patience and accommodation. One of the bar staff was a little difficult to communicate. Would give 4.5 stars.

We recently celebrated my daughter's 21st here and we were extremely impressed. The quantity and quality of food was incredible, and so many people commented on how good it was. The service was amazing along with the view. I highly recommend this venue for an event, it was the most perfect evening. Thank you!

I recently had my 30th at Bar Pacino and couldn't recommend them more. I had an amazing time. The food, service and cocktails were amazing and everything came out so quickly. All of my guests commented on how beautiful the space was and the cannoli cake was a show stopper. Thank you so much to all of the staff and Annie for helping me organise everything.

Didn't eat but just had a few softdrinks with some friends. Nice ambiance and a nice view of the river if you're looking for something scenic. I was on a business trip but this would be a great tourist location for a good vibe, good service and central to brissy with a good view. definitely recommend and hopefully one day will come back to try the food.

I was under the impression this bar was pretty high-end but I was left underwhelmed. Cocktails are overpriced for what you get, bar staff are super rude, and it’s dirty. Considering there were many Christmas party bookings that afternoon you’d think they’d have the music at a reasonable level but it was blasting like a nightclub at 3pm? Very strange.

We loved The Pacino Bar excellent food brilliant service great atmosphere and what a spectacular view of the river. Value for money is exceptional. You must visit this happy and fun restaurant truely

We had our engagement party here this year and it was amazing. We couldn't fault anything besides the toilets (hence the 4 stars).. if you need to pee take a packed lunch. I had a few drinks under my belt and ended up in the car park came back up joined the queue. We would get married here but the toilet sitch isnt good. …

A fantastic venue for anyone catching up casually or for a party as been there a few times for both. A stunning location especially in the evening overlooking the Brisbane River and the Story Bridge. Casual dining with good food and an extensive range of refreshments. Very attentive staff some of the best and well worth the visit.

The best restaurant you found in Brisbane City. The amazing view at night was really fascinating and the food here are so delicious! Highly recommended palce that has it all.

Busy on a Friday, but service was excellent and food came out quick. Pretty much exactly what was needed for an after work dinner/drinks eve only reason for 4 stars was it was super loud, had to yell to speak to people at the table but with a view like this, floor to ceiling windows and concrete floors it can't be helped. …

Had work related event at Bar Pacino and most people ordered the eye fillet steak. I asked for medium rare and what came out wasn't even close to medium rare. It was well done. Sauce had no taste either. Steak I cook myself at home tastes a million times better than this. If you care about quality of food, look elsewhere.

Had a work dinner here Thursday night. It was a really busy night so definitely thankful we booked. We ordered off the app so drinks and food came out pretty quick considering how busy it was. Pizzas were tasty and the platter was enough for our group.

Cannot recommend Bar Pacino highly enough. From the initial enquiry for our event with Annie to service on the night from Liam and Alex, nothing was too much trouble! They made sure our celebration was special and that everything was perfect. The view is divine and the share plates were delicious. Thanks

Was very fortunate to celebrate a family members 21st at BarPacino. Staff could not have been more helpful in assisting and serving the older members of our group -in their 90s and 80s. Food was plentiful and yummy and the location beautiful. Thank you to all for a wonderful memorable evening for all.

Wow, what a view! The location of Bar Pacino is excellent, right on the river, slightly elevated and looking straight at the Story Bridge. Relaxed, friendly service. Great menu including many Gluten Free options - even GF pizza bases - salads and share plates. Great drink options from the bar also.

Pizzas were tasty and food came out quickly. I’d recommend booking if you’re there for a Friday lunch like we were. The “life’s good salad” was delicious! You also can’t beat the location on the river

The river facing deck is a great place to take in the incredible view of the river, story bridge and surrounds whilst sipping on a cold one. A good selection of light meals. A nice spot for a social catch up, but positioning to Eagle St makes it equally suitable for casual business.

Great place to visit for an office function, birthday party or even to get LIT on a Friday or Saturday night. Food is amazing and the staff there are exceptional too. The views from the venue out to the River and the Storey Bridge are spectacular. Would give 10 stars if possible

Disappointed. We had a reservation Saturday evening - they gave our table to someone else. The girl at the front said they were moving them and would get back to us in a moment . After waiting for a while with no updates we simply decided to go somewhere else.

3.5 ⭐️ - amazing views with efficient staff. Menu is on the expensive side. We tried the; Pork scallopini - basic dish and the pork was dry and doesn't soak up much of the sauce. Tasted as how it looked Chicken burger - huge portion, chicken was cooked & seasoned well

We had our wedding reception here and it was magic. Staff were SO helpful, had everything set up for arrival and communicated throughout the night. 100% recommend if you're looking for stunning views and a stress free night

The venue is great, but it looked like the staff didn't want to be there (referring to bar staff, the event staff were great). Cocktails weren't made well, drinks didn't have a standard shot size but were at a premium price. If going for food and function, it would be ok.

The night view are so amazing, drinking wine and appreciate this wonderful view is fantastic. Great place and highly recommended!

Absolutely amazing view of the story bridge with great cocktails to enjoy. We stopped in late on a weeknight, it was quiet and the bar tender made is a drink off menu that was delicious. The staff were friendly and the owner even came over for a chat.

I recently had a function in the story bridge room and it was amazing. Annie was so accommodating and answering all of my annoying questions and assisting on the night. The food and atmosphere was great. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone.

A classy place amidst the busy party area..! View is just amazing and atmosphere is relaxing (I have only been here on weekdays!) Friendly and helpful staff.. would definitely go back. 4 star because the food is good but just not that 100% mark!

Amazing location! Customer service was impressive! Staffa are attentive, friendly and efficient. The music was nice too. I went for dinner and enjoyed a lot with my partner. Ps: Nutella shot is nice… however I would like more alcohol in it hahah

We LOVED this bar, the staff are lovely and the food was delicious too! Really really enjoyed the view and the chilled old school RnB. Plenty of space to people watch and chill. Excellent location in Brisbane riverside too. Highly recommend.

Amazing view and super friendly staff! Food and service was great too. Amazing views of the Brisbane River and Story Bridge, and the nice afternoon breeze takes away the humidity. What a great place to catch up with friends and family.

I honestly can’t recommend this place enough. From making our party feeling welcome to going above and beyond with making us feel accommodated, Keisha and Rhys were incredible with their hospitality. Will be coming back here 10/10.

Everything about Bar Pacino was amazing! The food was delicious, the staff were incredibly friendly and the views!!!! Nothing gets better than having dinner by the riverside. Perfect for pictures of the bridge too! Overall, 5/5.

Had a wonderful night here, both food and service were amazing. Standout above all was Ash, she was fantastic greeting us at the front and handling all patrons that came through. She deserves a raise she was that good.

I had a 21st birthday last night. Reece the bar manager and holly in the bar were beyond lovely and had the best hospitality service I have seen in a long time. Lovely people, definitely give this bar a crack. :)

Just right next to Babylon. The place is quieter/less packed than Babylon but if you are up for conversation, chill night and a better view of both the story bridge and the custom house, this is the place to be!

Thanks for a great night! Awesome communication with booking and they have a good system in place for ordering drinks right from your table! Service was really quick! Pizzas were our favourite so fresh!!

Saltiest chips ever and a cocktail that was just full of ice and hardly any drink and cost $22. Can't recommend.

Staff seemed preoccupied telling customers where to stand and talk like we were only there for their benefit. Nothing particularly special about the place. Just another overpriced city bar.

Food good, bar staff are extremely hostile. Furthermore, the music is non stop 2004-2005 music. Like if you were in your 20’s you wouldn’t even have heard of it. Get with the times DJ.

My friend and i have found our new go to bar in Brisbane, good service, nice view, and most importantly to us a good size cheese board with the correct cheese to crackers ratio …

Really nice bar / restaurant with a great choice of food & drinks. Stunning views of Story Bridge at night. Rest rooms are a short walk away from the bar, which is a bit annoying.

Wonderful venue can't talk highly enough of the staff brilliant and professional and went out of their way to make our daughters 21st special. Thankyou so much guys. …

Amazing staff, beautiful views. Relaxed casual atmosphere topped by divine drinks and food. Staff attitude the entire night was the best we have experienced since pre covid.

Great spot, great atmosphere. Only order the jalapeno margarita if have guts of steel, it was ridiculous. But I finished it and didn't die.

This bar has great views, although it can get wonder out on the balcony. Serving up good cocktails. My food was ok and reasonably priced.

We went for lunch. Staff were friendly, prompt and efficient. Food was quite nice with a good variety. Great view. Would recommend.
