    Our group of up to 20 members really enjoys our time together at Officers Mess once each month. Most also visit at other times. The position of Officers Mess on the Brisbane River is very special, great views over the grassed area to the river. We love how children are catered for with the special swing and lots of beanbags. We are amazed at how quickly and how effectively Officers Mess has recovered from the recent unexpected weather event. A great spot to enjoy beautiful views, good food, good company and welcoming atmosphere.
