Nightlife

Brisbane has an excellent nightlife, with all tastes catered for. Whether you feel like a pub atmosphere, a delirious nightclub or some tremendous live music, Brisbane has very tempting attributes. As a matter of facts, the locals call Brisbane, Brisvegas, a humorous but affectionate nickname.

To know the latest and what’s coming-up check the Courier-Mail for its daily arts and entertainment listings; on Thursday it carries a comprehensive ‘What’s on in Town’ section. You can also refer to Brisbane’s free listings papers. Most cafés and bars have copies of Scene, Time Off and Rave Magazine, all of which offer extensive coverage of live music and clubbing in the city. Q News is what you need to get inside Brisbane’s gay and lesbian scene. Other useful papers include Brisbane News and This Week in Brisbane.
