Bring your own drinks to enjoy alongside the fresh seafood offerings, but remember there's a corkage fee.

Located at the RiverHub of the City Botanic Gardens, The Prawnster offers a unique dining experience in Brisbane. This venue stands out for its commitment to delivering fresh seafood, emphasising simplicity to let the quality of the ingredients shine. Guests have the option to enjoy their seafood either as a takeaway or by dining on board one of the vessels moored at the dock, creating a distinct nautical ambiance. As a BYO establishment, diners can complement their meals with their own selections of beer or wine, although corkage fees will apply.

The Prawnster doesn't aim to dazzle with complex preparations; instead, it focuses on the freshness of its seafood offerings. This concept resonates with those who appreciate the natural flavors of the sea, bringing the charm of waterfront dining to the city's center. The space is casual yet stylish, appealing to both casual diners looking for a quick bite and those seeking a longer, leisurely meal aboard the boats.

Sitting steps away from the vibrant landscape of the City Botanic Gardens, The Prawnster is an appealing choice for both locals and visitors. Its location is ideal for those looking to combine a riverside stroll with a meal, all while being conveniently near the bustling CBD.
