Located right next to New Farm Park, the Brisbane Powerhouse is an absolute must-visit for anyone who appreciates unique architecture and vibrant art. Captivating Heavy Industrial Vibe: The exterior proudly displays its rugged red brick and brutalist concrete origins, beautifully contrasted with modern glass elevator additions. Stepping inside is even more impressive. The massive exposed steel beams, high corrugated iron ceilings, and weathered brick walls perfectly preserve the industrial soul of the former power station. The multi-level catwalks make exploring the interior an absolute joy. Expressive Street Art: The surroundings of the building serve as a fantastic open-air gallery. From the intricate graffiti along the riverside walkway to the massive, striking mural of a deep-sea diver and skeletal fish on the brick facade, the street art injects a raw, energetic subculture vibe into the historic site. Dynamic Entertainment Spaces: It’s a thriving cultural venue hosting indoor theater performances (spotted a lively poster for Countess Luann!). The outdoor lawn even features a fantastic setup with Adirondack chairs for an open-air cinema. Catching a show in such an atmospheric place would be an unforgettable experience. Combining hardcore industrial aesthetics with forward-thinking art, the Powerhouse is undeniably one of the most distinctive and stylish spots in Brisbane!
Love having a drink and nibble on the river then seeing the latest. Swingers is a great art installation combined in an activity.
Brisbane Powerhouse is a fantastic place to visit. The old industrial building has been beautifully transformed into a lively, creative space with a great atmosphere. There’s a real buzz about it, and the riverside setting makes it even better. It feels welcoming, inspiring, and full of interesting things to explore. A really enjoyable visit today.
An interesting, non-traditional conference venue with stunning river view, well-preserved historic building, catering services, Cafe, bar and plentiful on site paid parking and free parking (at the nearby new farm park).
What a place. Beautiful in Spring. It is a shame. The Mary Mae's is nice but I try a Margarita, unfortunately it is too sweet, they used extra Syrup on it. 😳
