Look left - it's the fashionistas sipping lychee martinis; look right - an earthboy hippie is jamming on bongos with a jazz sax player; and straight ahead is a middle eastern tobacco cafe, where all sorts discuss whether apple flavour is better than vanilla. And this is at 2am. There is never a dull moment in the eclectic melting pot that is West End. Madeleine / ourbrisbane.com.au
West End is so cosmopolitan yet it is uniquely Australian. The broad cultural and wide socio-economic range in the suburb is reflected in the eating establishments, the boutiques and other shops. You feel like you're experiencing a whole passport of cultures in just one small geographic location. Gillian / ourbrisbane.com.au
