Howard Smith Wharves announces Mr Percival’s bar is the new place to be

AWARD-WINNING chef Damien Styles will head up one of the city’s most picturesque bars when the Howard Smith Wharves opens next month.

THERE’S a new name in town and it’s Mr Percival’s.

Howard Smith Wharves has announced the name of its picturesque overwater bar located beneath the iconic Story Bridge, which will open on November 29.

It takes its name from the pelican in Colin Thiele’s classic Australian children’s book Storm Boy, whose latest movie adaptation opens in January.

Featuring eye-catching aesthetic by Anna Spiro Design, the octagonal bar will carry a pelican logo and at its helm will be head chef Damien Styles, formerly of The Fish House.

“Taking cues from Europe’s most iconic, unpretentious beach clubs, the atmosphere at Mr Percival’s has been devised to spur a sense of year-long summer — making it a must-visit for locals, interstate tourists and global tastemakers,” Ms Spiro said.

“Our approach is always to create environments full of interest, comfort and difference that people want to linger in. Mr Percival’s will be Brisbane’s own folly — a fun place that nobody will ever want to leave.”

Howard Smith Wharves director Adam Flaskas said unveiling Mr Percival’s was a milestone moment.

“To see this venue open is extremely close to my heart, as it has been my vision in the making for some time — and to have so many respected locals involved — from Anna Spiro to Damien Styles — makes it all the more thrilling,” Mr Flaskas said.

“Mr Percival’s is a world-class venue, one that will be part of Brisbane redefining itself as a global food and wine centre. I can’t wait to welcome locals and visitors into it later this year.”

Lord Mayor Graham Quirk said Howard Smith Wharves was the missing link along the Brisbane River and, when complete, would become Brisbane’s newest world-class entertainment and lifestyle destination.

“Mr Percival’s will offer some of the best seats in Brisbane to take in views of the Story Bridge, the Brisbane River and the Riverside precinct, while surrounded by the history of the restored heritage wharf buildings, new public parklands and River walk,” Cr Quirk said.
