The arrival in Brisbane of United States Navy warships in April 1942 saw the establishment of the New Farm submarine base. It was every regiments' central gathering place for exchanging ideas, jokes, scandals and complaints. Still a meeting place for all walks of life, the Officers Mess is a place for Brisbane locals to enjoy good food, drinks and stunning riverfront views.
