I was pretty excited a few months back when I first heard that Naughty By Nature were going to be at Good Vibes, along with a bunch of my other favourite old school hip hop groups, but then I got lazy and didn’t get tickets. So, I was even more excited to discover that my [...]
Since moving to Queensland, I have constantly been amazed at the sheer beauty that this state has to offer. And with both Jetstar and VirginBlue frequently offering discounted flights up to Hamilton Island and the Whitsundays, I have a couple times taken a trip up there to check it out. Last time I went, I [...]
I’m always interested in trying something new. So when I was told about a friend’s birthday gathering taking place at Montezuma’s in Mt Gravatt, I was naturally very curious. Specialising in Mexican cuisine, Montezuma’s is fitted out just like a traditional Mexican Cantina - or at least what someone who’s never been to Mexico (like [...]
Rarely do I go out to eat on a Saturday night; but on the occasions when I do go out to a bar and grill style restaurant I expect it to really blow me away. The Beach House Bar & Grill does this, and more. Located within the Myer Centre, not only is The Beach [...]
My friends and I really look forward to the quarterly VIP parties at Love & Rockets, where the alcohol flows, the women swoon and the debauchery is unleashed. So, it was with great excitement and anticipation that we RSVP’ed to this quarter’s party at Love & Rockets’ Fortitude Valley location, which would see the launch [...]

Having noticed a mysterious doorway on Wickham Street without markings or signs several times on my way to the gym, I had assumed that it could only be a shady establishment of some sort. But, when I walked past one Saturday and saw a “Cocktail Happy Hour” sign, my curiosity was piqued and I made [...]
I’ve been really forgiving of some venues in Brisbane during my time as a reviewer. I always think to myself, “Well, maybe it was just this one time that I came here” and so try to look on the bright side. To find the silver lining. But there’s one bar in Brisbane which every time [...]
Having received a mysterious SMS to my phone telling me of a ‘new’ RnB / Hip Hop club in the Valley, I decided I’d check it out. After the majesty that was Mystique @ The Arena, I was up for some more RnB and was quite looking forward to the promised ‘old school’ hip hop [...]
For anyone into Brisbane’s R&B / Hip Hop scene, you’ll know the difference between “new Mystique” and “old Mystique”. For those of you who don’t, let me explain: old Mystique is the Mystique Nightclub, located on Warner St next to The Planet. New Mystique is the new home of the hip hop group that [...]
