Uptown Bites: The fourth edition of Uptown's guide to eating and socialising is here!

 Uptown Business+Association September 2, 2025

Welcome Uptown Bites - the fourth edition of Uptown’s beloved guide to eating and socialising, with a fresh new look and feel. Covering the precinct “on the rise”, the new bigger and bolder edition hits the streets today.


The new Tastemakers series profiles some of Uptown's hospitality owners who champion the local dining scene. Local chefs share some of their favourite recipes for you to try at home.


Other new features include "We're going on a beer hunt," showcasing some of Uptown's famous breweries, and "Uptown on a Bun" which celebrates some of the neighbourhood's juiciest burgers.


From fine dining to popular cheap eats, Uptown Bites guides you around all of Uptown's spots for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or drinks, complete with maps to make exploring the neighbourhood a breeze.


Pick up your copy at a local cafe, bar or restaurant - or send us a message and we'll make sure one finds it's way to you!
