Crazy
Hot Brisbane at night
Fortitude Valley, in Brisbane, is home to Australia’s first designated entertainment
precinct. As the night falls, the Valley’s streets become alive. They pump following
the sound of live bands, laughter and nightclub beats. With countless bars,
clubs and restaurants on every block, deciding where to go can be somewhat the
hardest part.
Outdoor Bars
Queensland has year-round good weather
and it’s worth making the most of the great outdoors. Elixir Rooftop Bar, on Ann St, is a new addition
to Brisbane’s bar scene and has a fresh, holiday feel with concrete slab
tables, plenty of tropical greenery, and a water feature.
A few blocks away, Alfred & Constance is a local favorite, open
seven days a week, and featuring three themed bars. Using two
Queenslander-style homes with a deck flowing between them, grab a bite, and a
beer on the main floor, or head upstairs to the tiki bar for pina coladas.
At nearby, Limes Rooftop Bar features a recent renovation, which added plunge pools to the astro-turfed rooftop – making it the perfect place for a Sunday session.

Live Music Venues
A huge selection of live music is always omnipresent in Brisbane every weekend. The Tivoli and The Zoo are two medium-sized live music venues that act as a temporary home to many national and international acts passing through.
For a more intimate vibe, head to Black Bear Lodge or The Hideaway – many locals go here to discover new and up-and-coming talent.

Dance Clubs
If you look forward dancing, The Valley is the place to be. Oh Hello is one of those popular busy nightclubs with the typical 20-something crowd. University students can be seen dancing the night away with a jam jar cocktail in hand.
For those wanting variety, The Met has three dance floors within the club pumping R&B, house, and techno music all night long.
A bar with good vibes, The Press Club, has live funk bands on Friday nights from 10 p.m. until late. The sophisticated venue attracts an older crowd who know how to have fun, and boogie down.

Specialist Bars
For somewhere a bit different, Brisbane has a unique range of bars popping up all around town. In the Valley, Nant Whisky Bar is a small space that boasts more than 150 boutique whiskies from around the globe.
New kid on the block, Papa Jack's, has captured the heart and soul of New Orleans. Not having a good time is surreal with live blues, roots and jazz music, Creole cuisine and specialty drink sazerac on tap. Hidden away, petite-sized The Bowery takes its inspiration from prohibition-era in New York. This small bar is famous for its world-class cocktails.

Alternative Clubs
There comes a time when a pub doesn’t cut it by listening to the top 40 dance beats on repeat tires. Brisbane has a few alternatives, the first being X & Y bar. This place is known for its grunge vibe, and live bands in a club atmosphere. On student Thursdays, X & Y spins 90s hits.
Across the road, Cloudland is a magical mega-club. Like stepping into a scene from The Great Gatsby, the two-storey club is filled with masses of hanging plants, vertical gardens and crystal chandeliers, plush lounges and a funk-dance vibe. On Thursdays, join Soul’sa – from 8.30 p.m., a live band with dance instructors help get your hips shaking.
Brisbane’s biggest gay nightclub, The Beat Megaclub, has been spinning tunes from its Ann St location for more than 30 years. Still ever-popular, this is the place to dance, meet friends, and party seven days a week.
