Felons at Howard Smith Wharves

For visitors and locals alike, Howard Smith Wharves captures what makes Brisbane tick: unpretentious charm, culinary adventure, and the persistent belief that life is meant to be lived outdoors...and preferably with a river view.

Brisbane's Howard Smith Wharves is a genuine triumph in urban renewal. This historic riverside site, once an run-down and abandoned pocket of the city, has been thoughtfully reimagined as a vibrant precinct where Brisbane's past and present exist in perfect harmony. It’s a space that truly celebrates the city's subtropical climate and relaxed outdoor lifestyle.

At the heart of the precinct, the acclaimed Felons Brewing Co. stands as a testament to this transformation. What was once an industrial warehouse is now a bustling brewery with spectacular river views. It’s a seamless blend of heritage architecture and contemporary energy.

Founder Adam Flaskas envisioned more than just another dining destination. His team has created a genuine community space that shifts and adapts from morning to night.

Early risers can catch the sunrise with coffee in hand, fitness fans can enjoy run club on Wednesday nights and night owls can spend their evenings enjoying live music, trivia and events.

The space ... gets right to the heart of our city’s character," says Adam Flaskas, director of Howard Smith Wharves, "It’s a laid-back, open-to-everyone spot."

The expansive lawns at Felons is the perfect showcase of this design sensibility. Our custom Double Caspar umbrellas were selected to punctuate the space with their refined, robust design and big shade.

With their classic design, oversized vents and heavy-duty, commercial-grade construction, they provide beautiful shade while withstanding the wind and daily rigours of a busy venue. We think the umbrellas perfectly complement the riverside setting, adding a distinctively Australian touch to this world-class destination.
