fortitude valley bars
The epicentre of nightlife and bars in Brisbane, Fortitude Valley is the city’s after dark playground. While much of the action centres around the mall, the vast majority of cool and hip haunts can be found off the beaten track. Fortitude Valley is home to a host of rooftop bars, perfect for a sky high bar crawl, tiny laneway bars like NokNok, Lang's Lounge and 1stEdition, and fun bars like Pawn & Co, Holey Moley, Netherworld and B.Lucky & Sons.
You'll also find glamorous old world bars like The Gatsby, The Tax Office, Cloudland and Savile Row as well as live music bars like The Sound Garden, Ric's Bar, Chattanooga Jazz Club, Suzie Wong's and Black Bear Lodge. There's even a handful of craft breweries including Stone & Wood, Soapbox Beer, Brewdog and, on Cloudland's rooftop, Valley Hops Brewing.
And in recent years, some of Fortitude Valley's historic pubs have had a makeover and are well worth a visit - The Prince Consort, GPO, Jubilee Hotel, the Osborne Hotel and The Wickham (both pooch-friendly),
