Cue The Romance, 4 Reasons Why This Local Eatery Is Your Go-To For Date Night

While Valentine’s Day is indeed creeping closer, a Hallmark holiday shouldn’t be the only excuse for a romantic rendezvous. Luckily for loved up Brisbanites like you, UPSTAIRS at Toombul gives you an excuse to make date night every night of the week, thanks to an entire floor full of all the things you love – good grub, cold bevs, sweet treats, chick flicks, and fab games.

Need we say more? Sure – here are four reasons UPSTAIRS at Toombul should be the go-to spot for your next date night (and every one after that).

Kick Back And Relax With A Flick

Put the ‘rom’ in ‘romcom’ with a trip to BCC Cinemas. Repping the latest in cinema technology (as well as ultra-luxe recliner seats), the two of you can canoodle in comfort while enjoying the latest blockbusters (and leaning into an inevitable sugar coma thanks to the sweet loot you picked up from the self-serve scoop alley). Plus, if you've got little ones they'll even be running Valentine's Day childminding, so you can kick back and relax with a bucket of popcorn as you deserve.

Go Head-To-Head In The Ultimate Love Test

Nothing says more about a person than their competitive side, so why not unearth it at Archie Bros Cirque Electriq? Not only can you battle it out over ten pin bowling, arcade games, virtual reality rides and dodgem cars, but you can wash it all down with a commiseration cocktail at their full service bar. In the ultimate display of good sportsmanship, the loser can then shout a round of tasty treats from their gourmet kitchen.

Share A Drool-Worthy Dish (Or Four)

It would be a crime to visit one of Brissy’s best eateries without grabbing a bite, the tricky bit is choosing where. If hearty pastas and wood-fired pizzas are your bag, make a bee-line to Il Gancio. But if you’re partial to meaty meals that require two hands, then wrap your lips around a big burger at Hello Harry. Looking to impress? Grab a serve of the rainbow dumplings from Little Red Dumpling. After a steaming Japanese staple? Go no further than Niku Ramen. Or maybe just a flavour-packed affordable feed? Bond over some authentic Thai street food at Phat Elephant

Whisper Sweet Nothings Over Sweet Treats

Top the night off with a sweet serve of Max Brenner’s most indulgent date-night special – the Share Platter. Think Belgian waffle, souffle, crêpe, fondue tower, fresh strawberries, banana, banana bread and thick marshmallows. Still full from that cinema choc top? Satisfy your sweet tooth with a liquid dessert, like the Tequila Mockingbird from Dapple + Waver.

Suffice to say, UPSTAIRS at Toombul is some next-level romance (correction, it’s an entire level of romance). From arcade games and slurpy bowls of ramen, there’s so much to eat, see and do together at Upstairs Toombul. Click here for more info.
