Media summary

Golden Avenue is an ambitious hospitality destination in the heart of Brisbane’s CBD. Designed as a lush, generous, open-air courtyard for the city, the “Brisbane’s Babylon” design of Golden Avenue carves out a sliver of shade within the sunshine state, champions the local climate, and marks a significant inflection point in Brisbane's evolving hospitality scene.  

Golden Avenue is a sanctuary of reprieve amidst the concrete jungle. A building that is fully naturally ventilated and climatically responsive.  

Golden Avenue works incredibly well for us as a venue. The variety of dining spaces, bars and event areas means we can easily shift from daytime trade to after-work drinks and late-night crowds, keeping the business active all day. Back-of-house is efficient and discreet, so operations run smoothly without interrupting the guest experience. The open-air design creates a great atmosphere people want to spend time in, while also reducing reliance on air conditioning. Durable materials and custom details keep maintenance manageable and help us stand out. It’s become a destination that attracts people in and keeps them coming back.
