Eagle Street Pier's beloved Riverland has reopened after a $3.5 million transformation, and it's better than ever. The waterfront venue now features an 800sqm extension of the existing riverside deck, two new food concepts, and a new beverage menu.

The new deck is a sprawling outdoor drinking and dining area with uninterrupted views of Story Bridge and the Brisbane River. The three-tiered deck can accommodate up to 1,000 people, making it the perfect spot for dining, socialising, and celebrating.

The two new food concepts are The Queenslander and The Traveller. The Queenslander serves modern pub fare that lets Queensland produce shine. Dishes include chicken wings with pineapple rum BBQ glaze, mango salad with crushed macadamia dressing, and cured tin can bay cuttlefish with brioche donut and lemon myrtle salt. The Traveller serves a rotating menu of global street foods, with the menu changing seasonally. The Traveller's first destination is Mexico, bringing a menu of fried tortillas with guacamole, cured red emperor tostadas, jalapeno poppers, and a range of soft shell tacos.

The new beverage menu features fresh and flavorful new cocktails, an extensive wine list, and a broad range of beers. Signature cocktails include the spicy watermelon margarita and the burst my bubble, with Husk Ink gin, lemon, apple, and raspberry. Live acoustic music and DJs will entertain Wednesday to Sunday every week.

Chief Operating Officer Craig Ellison says the redevelopment is an exciting moment for the Eagle Street precinct, saying, "Eagle Street is back! With views of the iconic Story Bridge and Brisbane River, the open plan design and subtropical landscaping, and The Queenslander kitchen, Riverland is a quintessentially Brisbane destination".

The extended deck spaces and new, dual food concepts make Riverland the perfect destination for celebratory events. From corporate functions to international food days, large sporting events to wedding receptions, after-work get-togethers to birthday celebrations, the venue caters to any occasion across seven separate function spaces.

Food and beverage led hospitality operator Australian Venue Co has been investing heavily in revitalising the Queensland pub landscape, with Riverland joining the growing list of renovation projects including The Wickham in Fortitude Valley, Crown Hotel in Lutwyche, Cleveland Sands in Cleveland and the Gold Coast's Burleigh Town Tavern and Coomera Lodge Hotel.
