THE ADVENTURE COLLECTIVE® · Independent discovery and booking for outdoor travel
Clipped into a harness 17 metres above the pavement, guests dine on three courses while the Brisbane skyline opens before them. This vertical-restaurant experience pairs careful rigging and local produce for a short, high-adrenaline evening at the Powerhouse.
Clipped into a harness 17 metres above the pavement, guests dine on three courses while the Brisbane skyline opens before them. This vertical-restaurant experience pairs careful rigging and local produce for a short, high-adrenaline evening at the Powerhouse.
Golden hour in Brisbane refracts off the river and the hulking brick face of the Powerhouse seems to lean toward the city. Guests clip into harnesses, shuffle out to seats bolted to the façade and feel the ground fall away — 17 metres of open air and a panorama of Story Bridge, river bends and city lights. The experience is equal parts meal and managed exposure: chefs from Bar Alto plate three courses drawn from Queensland produce while trained staff attend every rope and buckle.

Golden hour in Brisbane refracts off the river and the hulking brick face of the Powerhouse seems to lean toward the city. Guests clip into harnesses, shuffle out to seats bolted to the façade and feel the ground fall away — 17 metres of open air and a panorama of Story Bridge, river bends and city lights. The experience is equal parts meal and managed exposure: chefs from Bar Alto plate three courses drawn from Queensland produce while trained staff attend every rope and buckle.
The venue is a converted early-20th-century power station turned cultural precinct in New Farm, its industrial bones repurposed for performance and events. The façade you hang from is part theatre, part urban cliff; across the river the volcanic bluffs around Kangaroo Point give the skyline context. Locals treat the Powerhouse as an arts hub — weekend markets, theatre and riverside strolls complete an evening here.
Practically: the activation runs about 90 minutes. Menus (starter, main, dessert) must be preselected at booking; dietary needs and age bands are requested. Participants are breathalysed (0% allowed) and must not exceed 120kg. Safety harnesses and all rigging are supplied; wear closed-toe, secure clothing (no dresses or skirts). There’s a choice at the end to descend the 17-metre dropline or walk back inside the Powerhouse. Operator policy allows cancellation for bad weather; confirm arrival at Pod 10 minutes early at 119 Lamington St, New Farm.
This is an urban adventure that trades wilderness for vertigo and fine dining — a tight, high-adrenaline way to experience Brisbane’s riverfront after dark.

Yes, but secure it with a strap — loose items can be a safety risk and may not be allowed on the façade.
The operator may cancel for poor weather; check your booking terms and contact the provider for options if the session is cancelled.
The Brisbane Powerhouse is wheelchair accessible, but guests with accessibility needs must book directly with the operator rather than through this platform for bespoke arrangements.
The Brisbane Powerhouse began life as a riverside power station and was later converted into a major arts and events precinct, retaining its industrial architecture.
The operator sources local produce for the menu; visitors should minimise waste, follow staff guidance on equipment and avoid dropping litter onto the river.
