What To Do In Brisbane

[KezR33]

Hey guys, my girlfriend and I decided last night on a spur of the moment whim we're going to Brisbane for the long weekend. We've basically got two a bit days to kill. We know we'll probably spend one day at Dreamworld, but otherwise we're completely open.

We're staying in the city, not Surfer's Paradise, and we won't have a car. We're also looking to head out Saturday (maybe Friday) night, so what are the best clubs?

Thanks heaps guys.

get really drunk and stay in the hotel room for the whole trip, beats anything your going to do outside

jojo's is good to start the night with dinner and drinks. youve got a choice of italian, thai and whatever else foodwize they have there. then pick a random pub, the vic seems to be popular but i dont like it coz it takes too long to get a drink at the bar (unless you have boobs). the union jack is good if you like ye olde english style pub, kinda smells funny though. the sports bar in the casino is good for cheap drinks. the dockside comedy club is good too but i think you have to book a table there (eat before you go though, the food is the equivalent of paying $40 for a dominos pizza). everywhere else i've been was really blurry so not too sure if you're after techno crankin, pill poppin night clubs then i havent got a clue. im sure others have more of an idea as ive only been out in brisbane the last few weekends.

I would steer clear of the Vic its usually full of melters, Head to the Valley in my opinion

What sort of night life you into / type of music then we can prolly give you a good answer as to where to go

[PWND]

list some preferences mate. student pubs/clubs, or dance, or just chiling out/playing pool.

fair bit of variety out there.

Dance music mostly, nothing too hard though. Don't mind heading to one of the more expensive clubs, we are on holiday after all.

Thanks for all the replies guys.

Eagle Street Pier in Brisbane has lots of dinner options.

I recommend Il Centro for fantastic modern australian food (but at a price). Or Cha Cha Char at the same venue for a decent grill/steak bar.

I agree with Dano. Head to Fortitude Valley... Lots of great pubs and clubs there. I recommend Press Club for an awesome venue (bar) to sit back, chill out on comfy couches and consume more alcohol than you probably should.

Family nightclub is nearby in case you wanted something a little more energetic.

Not too sure about where to eat but i know the club scene pretty well. If you like cheaper places that are usually more packed, head to the city. The Stock Exchange (Stocky) is small n busy with house playing, decent happy hours. The Vic, across the road is decent, generally a little quiter, good happy hours. Has some house playing upstairs, kareoke downstairs, and a beer garden with live music outside. Union Jack (U. Jays) is nearby, old english pub feel, will have sport playing earler, then a Dj playing house later in the night. Stay away from the paddington hotel, just too busy and expensive. The more classier places, ironically are in the valley which generally isnt classy. Family is the big number there. Saturday nights there generally have big Djs, possibly internation acts, playing in the basement. Usually its some heavier techno down there. It was awarded best sound system in the southern hemisphere so you cant go wrong if you like it loud. $10 cover charge before 10pm, $20 after. Theres also house and trance playing in two more seperate areas upstairs. (its got a bar made of ice its cool) Theres numerous other clubs all across the valley. Head to the far end of it for the GPO if you like guys with spiked up hair and girls with nearly no clothes on. A plus and a minus there. If you dont mind being around gay guys for cheap drinks theres The Beat, just dont go upstairs. Theres a new big club there too called The Met, it has a House hall, drum n bass room, techno playing across the place, usually hard to get into tho. Theres more but theses are the main points across the place. Sorry for the long post but its about time all those nights and money spent could benefit someone else
