There comes a point in summer where every local wonders if there are things to do in Brisbane beyond running through sprinklers and staring out windows, silently willing storm clouds to appear.

And no, the answer is not ‘move to Tasmania.’ Don’t be that guy.

As one of the most diverse party venues Brisbane can showcase, The Fox Hotel makes the most of hot summer days with parties, cold drinks, and an escape from the thousand-degree temperature of that little place known as ‘outside.’

The Fox Hotel’s summer themed parties

1. Hawaiian tiki party

Say ‘aloha’ to a long-awaited cocktail jug on Dandy’s Rooftop and start the afternoon on island time. Embarrassing hula moves aren’t compulsory, but they do make some great (cringe-worthy) Snapchats.

2. Beach party

Chuck on your boardies for a day at South Bank beach and some wind-down beers at the Long Bar. We recommend donning your finest thongs and switching those summer ice blocks for more effective (and more enjoyable) cocktails.

3. BBQ chargrill on Dandy’s

Want a weekend sesh hotter than a steering wheel in December? Gather the gang on Dandy’s for an afternoon of cocktails, dance moves, and charcoal grilled share platters. Hey, if you’ve been measuring your mango intake by the carton, a platter of lamb cutlets, sausages, Israeli spiced chicken and pepper crusted beef fillet will probably be a welcome reprieve.

4. Mexican fiesta

Let’s be honest – nothing makes you forget the working year quite as completely as tequila. Don your at-home sombrero (if you don’t have one, you need to make some changes) and head to The Fox Hotel for summertime tacos and margaritas.

With tacos filled with pork cheek, beer cooked brisket, and popcorn prawns, you’ll have your summer sesh all wrapped up.
