What’s Open In Brisbane This King’s Birthday Public Holiday 2026

While old mate King Charles' actual birthday isn't until 14 November, you'll never find us complaining about a public holiday—especially when it means a long weekend like this upcoming day off on Monday 5 October. Being the active lot that we are, there isn't much we'd rather be doing outside of the office than scoffing down some grub at one of Brisbane's fine establishments. Lucky for us, plenty of our favourite cafes, restaurants and bars will be keeping their doors open, kitchens firing and drinks pouring. 

Here's what's open this King's Birthday public holiday in Brisbane:
