Brisbane Nightlife

Cool clubs, chic bars and an excellent live music scene make Brisbane's nightlife hard to beat. Most clubs, bars and live music venues are centred around Fortitude Valley but the West End is also making a name for itself for great nights out.

Bars: In the city centre, The Belgian Beer Café Brussels, corner of Edward and Mary Streets (www.belgianbeercafebrussels.com.au), serves over 30 different beers. The Story Bridge Hotel, 196 Main Street, Kangaroo Point (www.storybridgehotel.com.au), is a well-loved local and a good place for a pint and a bite to eat. In Fortitude Valley, the Bowery, 676 Ann Street (www.thebowery.com.au), is reportedly the best cocktail bar in town and features live jazz during the week. Dress up for a drink at the well-heeled Lychee Lounge, 2/94 Boundary Street (www.lycheelounge.com.au), in the West End.

Clubs: Brisbane's newest superclub, Cloudland, 641 Ann Street (www.cloudland.tv), stands tall in Fortitude Valley and offers four levels of cutting-edge design including a retractable glass roof and waterfall. Still drawing huge weekend crowds, Family, 8 McLachlan Street (www.thefamily.com.au), regularly features prominent national and international DJs.

Live Music: Try The Zoo, 711 Ann Street (www.thezoo.com.au), an icon of the local indie music scene, and the place to go for good, brash Australian music. If you fancy something a bit softer, The Troubadour, Brunswick Street Mall (www.thetroubadour.com.au), also has good Australian music, but of a mellower kind. Jazz aficionados should head for the Brisbane Jazz Club, 1 Annie Street (www.brisbanejazzclub.com.au), in Kangaroo Point.
