Here is a simple no-frills place where Brisbane's Ukrainian community can gather along with non-Ukrainian residents and partake in delicious traditional meals and drinks.

The club is divided into two sections, with patrons entering through the main door into the cavernous dining room, which leads past an open kitchen to the bar, where there's a smattering of couches and chairs to sit and enjoy a pre-dinner Ukrainian Pyvo (beer) or Horilka (vodka).

As with the rest of the club staff, the kitchen is manned with chefs who have been displaced from The Ukraine, and who cook up delicious home-style meals unlike anything else to be found in Brisbane.
