Ric’s Bar

The Verdict

Ric's Bar is known as one of Brisbane's most iconic bars for its weekly live music, chilled vibes and cheap eats. If you haven't spent a night there, you clearly aren't a Valley regular, but you'll at least recognise their colourful backyard bar, decked out in rainbow fencing, epic street art and a fairy-light adorned hills hoist. 

From their $8 steak nights on Wednesdays and Fridays to the pumping dancefloor inside that heaves with bodies until the early hours and even a hangover curing breakfast at Fatboy's Cafe the next morning, Ric's is always the place to be.
