In the Blue Star Arts complex - it a great place to have a coffee after a morning walk along the quieter section of the river in King William. They also have a full bar and a great menu for breakfast and lunch. Not that you would want a full bar option in the morning but, there are those days..... ;-)

Absolutely a hidden treat. A drinks menu and selection that you can't possibly get through in a life time. This speak easy is difficult to find. Located in the Blue Star Arts complex underneath the Blues bar. There's no sign and during the day there is no bouncer but go down the steps and open the door even though all the windows are blacked out. You'll love it...Promise!

If you have Littles and they like trains, this is a must do. It's a miniature train that winds through Brackenridge Park. It's slow, cute and has a LOUD whistle.
