As the Brisbane River starts glowing gold in the late-afternoon light and the breeze rolls through Hamilton, Eat Street Northshore is gearing up for a new summer ritual: spritz in one hand, seafood in the other, and live music drifting across the water.
Across two January weekends, the popular riverside precinct will host the Tivo Summer Spritz pop-up bar, a short-run takeover at The Trawler Deck that brings together bright, citrus-driven cocktails and a special seafood menu from local micro-restaurant The Salty Sailor.
Launching on Friday 16 January, the pop-up is designed for long, warm evenings — the kind that start with a casual drink at 4:00 p.m. and quietly stretch into a night of grazing, music and waterfront views.
Tivo’s spritzes lean into summer flavours, with its lemon spritz at the centre, built to be light, refreshing and easy to sip as the sun goes down. On the food side, The Salty Sailor will be serving up share-style seafood platters and coastal dishes that suit Eat Street’s relaxed, walk-around dining style.
The opening night on Friday 16 January will be marked with an exclusive launch event, and one lucky local will be able to win their way in. The prize includes two VIP tickets to the launch, a bottle of Tivo Lemon Spritz and a seafood platter for two — a ready-made summer night out on the river.
The pop-up runs across two weekends — 16–18 January and 23–25 January — slotting neatly into Eat Street’s already buzzing summer program. With four live music stages, more than 60 food vendors and five riverside bars, the precinct has become a go-to spot for sunset drinks, casual dinners and nights that don’t need much planning.
Short-term pop-ups like the Tivo bar are part of Eat Street’s push to keep the experience fresh for regular visitors, giving people something new to stumble across between old favourites.
Whether it’s a first drink after work, a relaxed date night or a weekend catch-up with friends, the spritz bar is built for Brisbane’s warm-weather rhythm — casual, social and best enjoyed by the water.
The Tivo Summer Spritz pop-up will be open from 4:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. on Sundays.
Eat Street Northshore is located at 221D Macarthur Avenue, Hamilton, with $6 entry, free entry for kids under 13 and over 1,400 car parks on site.
