entertainment & nightlife

The City of Scenes

From classic watering holes on every second corner, to sophisticated bars with immense couches where you can lie back and listen to music that never stops, no matter who you are, who you’re with or where you come from, our pubs, bars and live music venues are the perfect meeting places. Our Urban Villages entice with a range of intimate nightspots and live music. In particular, West End and Fortitude Valley are perfect to witness emerging bands or get up close to some live indie-rock, maybe even ‘go-off’ with national and internationally famous acts or groove to innovative jazz bands in two Australia’s most famous live music precincts.
