The sun is shining, the birds are chirping and the flowers are blooming, but it’s not officially spring in Brisbane until Customs House unveils their seasonal rosé pop-up bar. Lucky for us, the wait is almost over because the riverfront terrace is once again set to transform into a breathtaking floral wonderland.
While the igloos have been in residence for winter, come Tuesday 16 September it will be all about pink hues, seafood bites, and the popping of bottles pouring Château d'Esclans Whispering Angel Rosé, Moët & Chandon, and the prettiest cocktails—all set among al fresco domes adorned in flowing fabric, florals and plenty of greenery.

Soak in the stunning river views as you chow down on freshly shucked oysters, mac and cheese croquettes, and the now legendary Moreton Bay bug croissants with lime and dill mayo. If you’re yet to crunch into this iconic dish, we suggest stopping by on Fridays to Sundays and washing it down with the carefully curated selection of rosés, sparkling, and cocktails.
Prefer to dine with your pinkies up? The Rosé Garden will also be serving a French-style high tea on Tuesdays to Thursdays, featuring savoury canapes, fresh scones, and petit fours. For $105 per person, the 1.5-hour experience will also treat you to a glass of Moët & Chandon Impérial Rosé or Whispering Angel Rosé, as well as fine teas and freshly brewed coffee.
For those just keen to stop in for sunset sips, we recommend rounding up a group of four to 10 and booking yourself an exclusive garden dome, so you can sip and graze the afternoon away. A $25 per person pre-authorisation will score you a dome, and once seated, you can order food and drinks as you like. Book yourself in here.
