Brunch is the best. It’s one of those portmanteaus that we actually like (unlike smog or motel, eugh) because it sparks such joy. Drinking during the day is also something sparks joy. Why? Because breaking the rules is the best. Obviously, we jump at the chance to combine the two, which is why we’ve decided to share this round up of the best boozy bottomless brunches and lunches in Brisbane, so you can join in on the fun.
