Hopefully a venue with no sharp objects on tables,and serve plastic pots.
We usually go to a pub near the ground for an hour or 2 before the bounce. It used to be the Gabba hotel, great pub, they knocked it down a couple of years ago. Then we moved to the Australian National, its being transformed into a yuppie chrome and glass monstrosity and I don't know if it will even be open.
I was thinking of the pub formerly known as the Station. Has been transformed into Chrome and Glass monstrosity. Its along Stanley St near the freeway overpass. I haven't even noticed what they've changed the name to but I'll check and post it.
I'll also be at the post match. It was very good last year, for obvious reasons.

What is it with iconic Brisbane pubs? Just look what they did to the Regatta...
If I'd been old enough in the early 80s I would most definitely have been going to see bands at the Aussie Nash, and it was still a great pub until recently.
Most certainly part of a shameful trend of "development" in Brisbane. Every time I talk to someone up there they mention somewhere or other with character or history has fallen under its spell. For shame.
That is shocking. Go directly to Jail, do not pass Go, do not collect £200.DirtyDogTiger said:
That's not just bad, it's chronic. :scold
The name of that pub is the Chalk Hotel. Stanley St, Woolloongabba, 2 or 3 blocks from the ground

Yep Ready. That's what they do in Brisbane. Any building thats interesting and has history, bowl it over. The Gabba Hotel was a great, iconic pub. G.O.N.E
Boomerang Theatre, classic old picture theatre, owner knocked it down the day before it was due to be heritage listed. Brisbane has very few good old pubs, and the ones they have are popular, so the owners feel the need to totally renovate them in line the latest fleeting fashion. The Barracks, now the Hotel L.A., The Annerley Junction, Now 'The Muddy Farmer (Irish theme). The Station: Chalk, etc, etc, etc.
Another bad aspect is that the very few pubs that appreciate and trade on their history, The Regatta or the Brekkie Creek, attract the Rugby Union crowd, which you don't wanna be around.
Just booked my hotel about 800m from the Gabba so I will wanda down at 3 and pop into each hotel along the way hopefully bumping into some PREers along the way :beer
I may just hire a scooter Rosy for such a long trip and if I remember correctly the Qld boys in blue are always good for a ride home 
olice: :hihi
olice: :hihi
