This review is for Three Monkeys Coffee & Tea House, West End QLD

Such a busy busy little cafe - and such a cool spot to hang out and chat.

Coffee-wise its pretty much just "OK" - food-wise though they have a great selection of panini's and Turkish breads, the pizzas are great and the grilled haloumi platter is my favourite.

BUT - lining up for ever is annoying so they can take your order, and the fact they don't accept eftpos is pretty annoying.

Approximate cost: $12

This review is for Archive Beer Boutique And Bistro, West End QLD

I love my beer, and had high hopes for this place. But I left disappointed.

One thing a botique beer bar needs is staff who know what the product they're selling - this was sorely missing from my visit to Archive.

The place was packed, so the service was always a little rushed - I like to look over my menu and choose carefully. Not feeling pressured into making a choice ASAP.

Food left a lot to be desired - the cheese platter did not come as described.

A good place to start your night before heading off somewhere else.

Approximate cost: $6

This review is for Emporium Cocktail Bar, Fortitude Valley QLD

This place is absolutely stunning - beautifully fitted out with stunning decor.

The staff are all extremely friendly - and know their cocktails. If your favourite isn't on the menu, they're more than happy to make it for you anyway.

I'd class myself as a semi-regular, yet they know what I like and always remember me.

Its a beautiful place to sit and chat - not too noisy.

A very good place to take a first date.

Approximate cost: $18

This review is for Laced Espresso, Brisbane QLD

I am a big coffee lover. If you stuff up my order once, I will never forget or forgive. I SHALL NEVER RETURN.

They guys at Laced are fantastic - Brent pretty much remembered my order after the second visit! Their coffee blend is just perfect - strong yet still smooth.

Price wise - they are spot on.

Approximate cost: $5 for a large

This review is for The Coffee Club, West End QLD

I don't like to write a negative review, but this place really doesn't deserve anything positive.

To start with we stood there and "waited to seated" as the sign instructed, only to be bluntly told "Just chose anywhere". After waiting at least 10 minutes we had to ask for menus, then we had to actually wave someone down to take the order.

Coffees were ordinary, nachos were pretty damn horrible.

Save your time and money - go elsewhere

SAKE SAKE SAKE! I love this place - mainly for the high energy levels of all the staff.

I love the poached duck dumplings best, but highly recommend trying any of the dessert dumplings - we had nutella and banana.

Fantastic fun!

Approximate cost: $8 per plate

This review is for Bitter Suite, New Farm QLD

For true beer lovers - no XXXX or VB here. Just plenty of craft beers and an ever rotating stock of beer means you always get to try something different.

Fantastic service from knowledgeable staff mean your glass is never empty.

Approximate cost: $7

Lunchtime Bento Box - the best value lunch anywhere in Brisbane. I love the teriaki salmon box... so much food for so little money.

Approximate cost: $15

This review is for Bodywize Fitness And Wellness, Newstead QLD

I've been a member of a lot of different gyms over the years, but I must say Bodywize is one of the best. One of the best things about this place is its shear size. The cardio and weights area is huge (especially compared to those pokey 24/7 places) and there is so much equipment you never have to wait.

The staff are all super friendly too

Approximate cost: $75 per month
