Although it could be said that the Gold Coast is a little out of the jurisdiction for a Brisbane-based site, when I get invited to an event like the national finals for the ZOO Weekly Australian Swimsuit Calendar, I’m more than happy to let our jurisdictional boundaries expand for a night.

By some strange coincidence, the first time I went to Sunbar in Fortitude Valley was also the last night that Sunbar was open. Because he was losing his job the next day and because I had two cute backpackers on my arm, we were plied with shots and a good time was had by all. [...]

Newly opened, with two venues in Fortitude Valley and Petrie Terrace, Love and Rockets was soon brought to our attention and with its website proudly touting that they are “Brisbane’s BEST [...]

When I first moved to Brisbane and was waiting for my downtown apartment to be ready, I stayed for about a month at Bunk Hostel in Fortitude Valley. Little did I know that the bar attached to the hostel which I spent my evenings drinking in was an iconic Brisbane nightlife spot. That bar is [...]

Back when I was a struggling student in Perth, somebody gave me a VIP card that got me express entry and drink discounts at Mustang Bar in Northbridge - Perth’s equivalent of the valley.
