Mr Percival’s, located beneath Brisbane’s Story Bridge, rests within the Howard Smith Wharves, seamlessly merging historical charm with contemporary design. The venue has undergone a comprehensive renovation that retains its whimsical colour palette and layered pattern language while introducing fresh elements for narrative and functionality and forging a new tertiary bar. Elegant terrazzo flooring references the social grace of the 1930s, serving as an ideal dance floor, while new stone adorns the brass-clad main bar. Custom furniture, characterised by details like the scalloped shadow line on bar tables, shell motifs carved into coffee tables, and materials such as wicker and cane, reinforce a theme of seaside summer enjoyment. Luxurious Dedar drapery echoes the same motifs, while wall sconces with custom shades cast golden halos of light, cultivating a luxe ambience. Soft furnishings have been selected for durability and aesthetic alignment and curated to foster diverse social gatherings, appealing to a multigenerational crowd and beautifully connecting the venue’s timber-clad and gelato-toned interior with the stunning riverside backdrop.
