For me and my friends, after work drinks on Friday night is almost as big an institution as Tuesday night dinner and movies. It’s a chance for us to blow off some steam, meet some interesting people and prepare for a fun-filled weekend. Of the various places in the city we tend to hit up, [...]
So with Thursday night infamous in its role as student night in the city, the goal of tonight was to have a big midweek bender, and in the process to find where all the drinks discounts are downtown, with The Embassy, The Port Office, Union Jack’s and Fridays all on the roster to explore.
The Embassy

The gates opened on the dot at 7:30 so I must give some kudos to the security people; they were very polite and organised. I managed to snag a good spot in front of the stage (and chances are you would too if you get a good spot in the line) but if you’re not [...]
…And What I Recommend You Do With $15.
Let me tell you now – these aren’t the same things.
If only $2.75 bought a kebab in the city. Granted, teamed with Alice’s $2.75 we almost had the elusive kebab in hand, but somehow ended up with the $5.50 special of Black Pepper Beef with Noodle from [...]
The Met Nightclub opened up late last year and ever since the opening weekend, I’ve been meaning to write a review, however I have always put it off, continued to think of an excuse not to write this review, not because I am lazy, but because I was hoping that my next experience at the [...]
Last weekend was really big, I was at The Family Nightclub on Friday night, listening to the great sounds of DJ Tydi till around 2:30am. If you’ve ever been to The Family on a friday night, you would have most probably heard him play. As far as my opinion goes, I think he is one [...]
Yes, Teneriffe, I know its scary isn’t it? So much for the traditional West End, Fortitude Valley or Brisbane City venues! This one is all the way out in Teneriffe. Picture my surprised face when we finally found Girder, on what appeared to be an upper-class version of Milton’s Park Road. Sure there was no [...]

For a long time now, the City’s nightlife has been a dead end for me. For years I haunted The Victory Hotel and the Exchange…even City Rowers. Now they just haunt me! So for two years now I’ve been spending my Saturday nights skulking in the [...]
Riding the lazy Sunday afternoon wave, looking for a watering hole and a line to nibble, we found ourselves reeled in and washed up at the Spark Bar in the Brisbane Powerhouse in New Farm.
LIVEWIRE @ THE SPARK BAR

Only recently have I discovered the charms of [...]
You know West End isn’t really that big. Okay, so it’s not that small either, but I always figured that, by now, I was rather familiar with the West End scene- in otherwords, I knew the ‘in’ places. This was a nice thought and it was well and true until I discovered Zomba Bar | [...]
