Nightlife Spot: Flannigans Irish Pub

Nice little pub, great for a meal, then after dark becomes a great drinking spot! They have bands and karaoke here every weekend.

Theme: Eating and Drinking
Dress Code: Casual
Address: Ferreres Street,
Directions: Enter opposite Target in Ferrers Street, or via Cave Gardens on the other side.

Nightlife Spot: The Funk Lounge

Not a night club, not a cafe, not a bar, but a mixture of all three, and in the most sensational surrounds! The Funk Lounge is in a 70's theme, with groovy old tables and chairs, sofas, wall hangings and lamps. It is great. Live DJ plays most nights.
They have food available, chose from 70's platter, Mexican platter or have a burger, bagette or more substantial meal.

Dress Code: Smart casual. They wont chuck you out.
Be aware that it is a hefty stair climb up.
Fits 80 people. No smoking inside so it makes for a great night if you are like me and hate smoking. A great alternative to the pub. Just that little bit nicer.
Address: 2nd Floor, 16 Commercial Street West.

Nightlife Spot: The G

The Gambier Hotel as it was formaly known, has recently undergone a Million dollar upgrade - and had its name shortened in the process. Now known as 'The G' or the G Spot if you think you are being funny, it has a contemporary feel with modern colours and textures. But at the end of the day it is still a pub, and the food is good, music is good, beer is good.

Dress Code: They started out by barring people who had brand names on their clothes - but come on - this is a large country town - everyone rocks up to the pub in their cricket gear after the game. So i don't think they mind any more.
A chance to get a little done up though.
Address: Main Corner

Nightlife Spot: Shadows Nightclub

Built inside an old building without disturbing the outer shell. 3 levels, with Dj's and live bands on the weekends.

Theme: Nightclub
Dress Code: From daggy to glam, no one is rejected!
Address: Penola Road, Mt Gambier
Directions: Opposite KFC on Penola Road - just look for the crowd

Nightlife Spot: Jazz at the Engine Room

Jazz at the Engine Room is on the last Friday night of every month. I am a little bias with this tip as my vocal group Mayfair are one of the most frequent of performers. A great night out, with vocal and instramental jazz, and The J Boys 4 piece band a highlight.
