This is a truly special place for me. The view of the Brisbane River from here is absolutely stunning. It’s also a great spot for lunch, where you can enjoy the atmosphere at a very reasonable price. Whenever I have important guests visiting, this is one of the places I like to take them :) I highly recommend that you visit this place at least once.

A great venue managed by University of Queensland. Excellent space for medium to large size events. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The food was really good and they catered for dietary requirements. The AV team was also pretty good and on point with running a hybrid event. The only one comment is that accessibility could be better + there are toilets but they are fairly small.

Customs House Brisbane – A Grand Blend of Heritage, Hospitality & Community Impact Yesterday morning, I had the pleasure of attending a truly inspiring event at one of Brisbane’s most iconic venues — Customs House, located right in the heart of the CBD. The occasion was the launch of “Understanding Australia’s Indian Communities: A Statistical Snapshot”, hosted by The University of Queensland. The event was a beautiful celebration of Indian-Australian friendship, diversity, and contribution, held in the magnificent Long Room under the heritage-listed copper dome. From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere was warm and dignified — the perfect setting for such a culturally significant and forward-thinking initiative. The University of Queensland team did a fantastic job in highlighting the vibrant role Indian communities play across Australia, supported by insightful presentations and meaningful data. The venue itself, as always, was breathtaking. Customs House never fails to impress — with its grand colonial architecture, riverside location, and views of the Story Bridge. Whether it’s a high-profile event or a weekend brunch, the space offers elegance and character in every corner. 🥂 After the event, many guests gathered at Patina at Customs House, the in-house restaurant, for light refreshments. The service was seamless, the views unbeatable, and the quality — as always — top-tier. Whether it’s their modern Australian menu, high tea, or just a riverside coffee, Patina delivers every time. ⸻ ✅ What I loved most: • A perfect venue for meaningful community and cultural events • Stunning architecture with riverside charm • Thoughtful hosting by UQ — professional, inclusive, and inspiring • Impeccable service at Patina restaurant • Celebrating diversity in such a prestigious setting made the moment even more special ⸻ 💬 Final thoughts: Customs House is more than just a dining destination — it’s a symbol of connection, history, and progress. Yesterday’s event was a proud moment for the Indian-Australian community, and this venue brought it all together beautifully. Highly recommend it for both personal outings and professional events!

The lamb shoulder and rib fillet has always been great here, but the tempura bug was also delicious. The portion of the lamb shoulder is enough to share with 3 very hungry people (and yes we do eat large portions normally). Isaac and Joe provided excellent service as well. Being a UQ alumni gives a decent discount to the final bill. Would always come back here!
