Beautiful architectural space. If you love the old spaces the capital cities of Australia then check this one out. This wonderful space has some delightful shops and spectacular bright and colour architecture to check out. Even if you just pop in and have a quick wander round.

The Brisbane Arcade is located at 160 Queen St,Brisbane City QLD 4000.

Having just celebrated 100 years with a special public celebration held on the 19th of April 2024, this is definitely one area of Brisbane worth a special mention 😀

It was fantastic to see the Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner along with other dignitries & the general public sharing some special birthday cake 🎂 🍰& other live entertainment on the day 😀

What a wonderful nostalgic part of the Brisbane CBD to visit this multi-level shopping precinct & look at purchasing a piece of jewellery or buying a dress for a wedding or something to buy for other special occasions.

The Brisbane Arcade has the historic ROOM with ROSES 🌹 located on the Gallery Level, which specialises in high tea & specialty menus.
This place caters to corporate & at home functions, a bit of everything!

My wife & I had the absolute pleasure of enjoying the Belgium Waffles, loaded with banana, strawberries & came with a base of dark chocolate 🍫
Another great addition was the ice cream on the side 😋 😀

Another place to enjoy the excellent quality of customer service is Keri Craig Emporium on the lower level of the Brisbane Arcade.

What a stunning place to enjoy the world of fashion, a fantastic range of Homewares & the highly recommended Coffee Lounge, which is known for its freshly made Prawn & Crab sandwiches.
Keri Craig Emporium also caters to their high tea, which I recommend you book in advance.

After visiting this heritage listed, Brisbane Arcade, I would definitely recommend anyone visiting Brisbane take the time to share the experience of a piece of nostalgic history of the Brisbane City landscape.

Huge selection of jewelers and old fashioned shops that offer their goods from the heart. Awesome building. Very friendly shop owners. We loved it here.

Hallo,
die Brisbane Arcade in der Queen Street Mall ist eine sehr schöne und auch alte Geschäftspassage im Zentrum der City. Zwischen Queen Street und Adelaide Street gelegen, kann man hier bummeln gehen oder auch teuer einkaufen. Es gibt einige Luxus Läden, Restaurants und Galerien. Nicht für den kleinen Geldbeutel aber trotzdem einen Besuch Wert. Als ich das erste mal hier 1995 bummeln war, war ich schon beeindruckt, hat mir damals schon gefallen. Sieht heute immer noch so gut aus aber die Adelaide Arcade, die genau so aussieht und auch genau so aufgebaut ist, gefällt mir noch ein wenig besser, da man da auch etwas für den kleineren Geldbeutel bekommt.

It's always a delight to walk through the Brisbane Arcade and shop or dine in its eclectic mix of shops. It's especially beautiful for special events such as Christmas and Spring. 🎄💐♥️

Gorgeous arcade with shopfront stores that are very unique and different. Feels like your walking in a different time zone.

Definitely would recommend you take a walk through this mall and check out the different stores and finish off with a lovely coffee/tea at the coffee shop located either down stairs at ‘Keri Graig Emporium’ or the coffee shop on the corner at the other end of the Queen Street Store.

Make sure you visit the chocolate store that sells delicious chocolate treats and the classical stationary store for one off stationary items or if your looking from timeless jewellery or spec glasses definitely check those stores to. All one of a kind hence loving this arcade.
