Brisbane Nightlife Tips by ChadSteve1975

Nightlife Spot: Breakfast Creek Hotel

The Breaky Creek is one of the most famous landmark pubs in Brisbane. Famous for two reasons. First off it is one of only a handful of pubs in Brisbane still supplied by XXXX Brewery with beer in wooden kegs, and secondly because of its steak.

The Breaky Creek is a great Sunday afternoon pub where everyone sits out in the beer garden throwing down a beer with a juicy steak and baked potato.

Sunday afternons don't get better than that.

The Breaky Creek has just been renovated. Now it has its own brand new nightclub. It's a swish addition adding a new dimension to its appeal.

Directions: Breakfast Creek

Nightlife Spot: The Pavilion

The Pavilion is one of Brisbane's best pool halls.

The place has a decent cafe/restaurant at the front of the building. You have to go inside up the stairs to discover what most come for. The Pool tables.

A mixture of 1/2 size and 3/4 size pool tables are available on an hourly rate. They just hold an indentification until you're done.

The variety of skills levels on display also varies, from the obvious hack to the serious pool shark.

Place is well suited to small to medium groups. Music is not too loud. On Friday and Saturday nights they sometime have a live band. Personally I go on a Sunday afternoon when the crowds aren't too big.

Dress Code: definitely casual.

Although partly trendy in styling noone really cares what you're wearing.

Just avoid the obvious pitfalls ie no thongs/sandals, guys no singlets.
Address: Melbourne St Westend
Directions: In the West End shops area. From the city walk over the Victoria Bridge 10 minutes along Melbourne St.

Nightlife Spot: Fridays Bar and Nightclub

Friday's nightclub is one of the premier venues in the city.

Located next to big business along the river the nightclub has a fantastic outdoor area and 2 dancefloor areas.

Catering to the younger crowd the club is usually stocked with mostly university students except for earlier on Friday evenings when the business crowd go for a drink after work.

Address: Eagle St, Riverside Centre

Nightlife Spot: The Pig'n'Whistle

One of the more recent additions to the city is the Pig'n'Whistle bar. Located at the Riverside Centre this bar caters for a mixed crowd. Part Univeristy students part older crowd.

The setup is good with some ourdoor seating and some indoor areas. Also has a restaurant area serving meals or snacks.

The dancefloor area isn't the best nor has it been the most populated when I've been there.

The toilets are unique with common hand washing area for men and women. Thankfully this forces the guys do lift their hygene standards.
