There are a wide variety of clubs in Brisbane. Some are known for their 5 dollar lapdances while others are more upscale. One of these is X CARGO (formerly Family).
With a tiki-inspired rooftop, beer garden, 3 bars and a huge function space, this place is popular with backpackers. Its booming music and DJs will make you want to dance all night.
Prohibition
Prohibition is a swanky nightclub that reimagines vintage classic 1920s into a crazy nightlife experience. Entering the labyrinthine space via a grand entrance of recycled Tongue Groove Timber double doors, you will be transported back to the romanticized era of flappers, suffragettes, and bootleggers. The 1100 square metre warehouse features a main hall, a speakeasy-style bar, and an exclusive VIP lounge. Illicit spaces showcase recycled materials fused with raw modernism, and the cocktail menu is extensive. It includes a range of different rum and gin cocktails, which were more popular during prohibition due to their cheaper production.
Inside, a series of LED tubes illuminate the dance floor while VIP booths accommodate groups up to 50 people. Patrons can sip house cocktails from the aforementioned wall-of-hooch, or choose to venture into the hush-hush Wall Street bar where swipe-card access and leather-bound hooch menus abound.
The club offers a unique atmosphere that is perfect for a night out with the girls or guys, a special occasion, or just to check out something new and exciting. It also provides each customer with a place to enjoy their night precisely as they like it, with three separate and beautifully created bars that each have their own atmosphere. However, the club’s security is a bit overbearing and rude. They often make large lines for entry to jack up the price of admission, and they treat customers with disrespect. For example, they once separated a girl from her friends, and they refused to let her talk to them on her cell phone or tell her where they were.
The Cabaret
Located in the heart of Brisbane, The Cabaret is a club that serves both drinks and food. It features a range of entertainment options including side-splitting live comedy, aerial acrobatics, shredding live guitar, and more. The venue is open daily, and is a great place to hang out with friends or a date.
The Cabaret was founded by a group of local performers and producers who were looking for a venue to showcase their work. The owners of the club believe in supporting the local art scene and strive to offer a high-quality experience for their guests. The owners also provide a wide selection of drinks and cocktails, as well as appetizers.
In 2005 the BCF gained momentum and was presented in partnership with HLB Mann Judd, Arts Queensland, Brisbane City Council, Brisbane Powerhouse and Judith Wright Centre in two weeks of crowd pleasing performances. Performers included Pearly Black, Alison St Ledger, Sandro Collarelli, Lil Fi, Eddie Perfect and Tyrone Noonan.
This year, the festival will be held from April 6 to April 16. It will feature a wide variety of performances and events, including cabaret, theatre, circus, and contemporary dance. It will also have workshops for new performers and offer professional development opportunities for existing ones. The program is free for seniors and provides them with a supportive environment to develop their talents.
The Met
Located at 256 Wickham Street, Fortitude Valley, The Met is one of the city’s largest nightclubs. It features five bars and three dance floors spread across three levels. It also hosts national and international DJs. It is a popular club for young people and locals alike. It is also known for its high-quality service.
The venue boasts a large variety of different rooms, including a VIP area, middle eastern lounge, and two dance floors. The main floor is packed on a Saturday night, but there are cosy booths for those who want to relax and take a break from the action. The venue also hosts a variety of events, such as the Ministry of Sound tours.
For music lovers, the Met features a huge range of genres and artists. From electro house to dubstep, there is something for everyone here. The playlists are curated to suit the mood of the room, so you can enjoy your favorite tunes all night long.
The club’s owners Trent Meade and Matt Blyth bought the business four years ago for about $3.5 million. They have since remodeled the space, increasing its maximum capacity to 5000 patrons. The venue has been very successful, and its current owners are selling it to focus on other projects. The sale is expected to close later this year.
