Little Miss Sunshine arrives in Brisbane in late July with sunny vibes, house beers and Queensland cuisine. It is the city’s newest bistro with its own brewery, serving up good times on tap and by the plateful. The newcomer, affectionately referred to as LMS is opening inside the ground floor of 80 Ann St, Brisbane, tucked away towards the back of the building.

Who is Little Miss Sunshine? She’s adventurous, she’s spirited, she’s quintessential Queensland. Envisioned by a group of passionate locals, LMS embodies sun-kissed days, golden beaches, and untamed wilderness, right in the heart of Brisbane’s CBD. She’s ready to welcome the community to unwind, connect, and catch up, as the new perfect stop for people to dine, drink and socialise at the top end of town.

The bistro will reflect the timeless charm of life in the Sunshine State, bringing together delectable cuisine inspired by travels, a connection to local producers, and a chef’s creative journey. Expect Aussie classics like beer-battered barramundi with chunky chips or Moreton Bay bug spaghetti, plus a Mediterranean influence with beef and chicken shawarma, lamb kofta and flatbread from the grill, and fresh tabbouleh salad.

The ambience is carefully curated, offering a fusion of cosy interior spaces and a spacious outside area that emanates warm hospitality, while the brewery’s edgy and electric vibe shows through graffiti art murals and quirky neon signs. LMS captures the inclusivity and warm sense of community that’ll bring people back time after time.

Little Miss Sunshine’s focus remains on her food with her superpower being the ability to heighten the experience with a vast and plentiful array of 28 taps, with house-brewed sips and the team’s favourites in the mix. A visit to LMS means sipping on a small-batch beer, indulging in a carefully paired dish, or simply enjoying the tunes of guest musicians. With her rebellious spirit at play, Little Miss Sunshine breaks the mould of a traditional brewery and bistro, sharing a love for life’s simple pleasures.
