Irish Murphy’s, corner of George and Elizabeth Streets, arguably the best pub in town. The
Story Bridge Hotel, 196 Main Street, Kangaroo Point, under the bridge of the same name, is a well-loved local and a good place for a pint and a bite to eat (there are three dining areas). The trendy
SunBar, 367 Brunswick Street, Fortitude Valley, is a good place to sip a cocktail while watching the sun set, and it is open until 0200.
Clubs: Clubs are concentrated in Fortitude Valley.
The Family, 8 McLachlan Street (website:

Monastery, 621 Ann Street (website:

Fringe Bar, corner of Ann and Constance Street (website:

Lychee Lounge, unit 2/92 Boundary Street, has established itself as a good alternative and draws a hip crowd.
Live Music: Fortitude Valley again has some of the best live music venues. Try
The Zoo, 711 Ann Street (website:

The Troubadour, Brunswick Street Mall, also has good Australian music on, but of a mellower kind.
The Rev, 25 Warner Street, is open every day and is a very cool looking venue with some very good music too. Jazz aficionados should head for the
Brisbane Jazz Club, 1 Annie Street, in Kangaroo Point (website:
www.brisbanejazzclub.com.au).
