Bohemian enclave turned gentrified neighbourhood with great eating and drinking options.
Once the bohemian heart of Brisbane, West End was known for its incense-scented laneways, organic grocers, and alternative edge. While traces of that free-spirited past still linger in its vintage stores and community markets, waves of gentrification from neighbouring South Brisbane have brought a polished new layer of boutique bars, modern eateries, and chic apartments.
Despite the change, West End remains one of Brisbane’s most diverse and dynamic neighbourhoods — a melting pot of cultures where you can find authentic Vietnamese, Greek, and Indian restaurants alongside trendy cafés and craft breweries. The result is a suburb that feels both grounded in its multicultural heritage and constantly reinventing itself.
