West End
A multicultural neighbourhood on the western side of South Bank, with cafés, secondhand shops, street murals, a Saturday market and a distinctly artsy feel.
West End lies southwest of the South Bank cultural precinct and is Brisbane's most bohemian neighbourhood. In its early days it was home to Greek and Vietnamese immigrants. Today, along Boundary Street and Vulture Street you'll still find plenty of Greek restaurants, cafés, craft beer bars, secondhand shops and independent bookstores, with murals covering many walls. The Davies Park Market held every Saturday morning is a favourite weekend market for locals, selling fresh produce, snacks from around the world and handicrafts. In the evening, you can stroll through the riverside park or catch live music. It's about a 15-minute walk from South Bank Parklands, or take a bus to Boundary Street.
