I’m so sorry, that is such a shit evening. There are probably pubs like that in Melbourne as well, to be fair, but more so in the middle to outer suburbs (assuming you’re in the Brisbane CBD). There’s a number of things I liked about Brisbane when I lived there, but the insularity of many mainstream communities puts Melbourne’s apparent standoffishness to shame sometimes. Still like a large country town in some ways.
