Free Style Tout
50/1000 Ann St, Fortitude
Valley
Do you have a sugar craving?
Free Style is such a lovely place
to meet up with a friend for
a great dessert, it’s so hard
to decide what to get as everything
is amazingly delish!
Vanilla Crème Brulee topped
with fairy floss and served with
mixed berries, nut biscotti and
blackberry is just decadent and
calorific!

Live Music BARS
The Hi Fi
125 Boundary Street,
West End
Before The Hi Fi was built over
what was known as the Paddo,
Brisbane’s live music scene
was facing almost near extinction.
Thankfully, the original
brand hailing from Melbourne
(the city that specialises in live
entertainment) extended its
reach to Brisbane at just the
right moment and saved the
city from complete boredom.
Built from the ethos of ‘loud
and proud’, the venue sports a
main room on ground level with
a mezzanine section. They’ve
dubbed the main bar ‘vinyl’ and
has been created in partnership
with Jim Beam, the first
brand-integrated bar of its kind
in Brisbane. The venue itself
holds 1200 people and enables
high quality live video and audio
feeds that can be broadcasted
to two projector screens in the
Vinyl bar, so you won’t miss a
thing when it’s your round.

Irish Murphys
175 George St, Brisbane
Welcome to Brisbane’s trademark
venue for singing out
loud with little to no remorse
of passers by, but this is what
Irish Murphy’s is known for. The
bands here play great sing-along
covers in the heart of the
city, adjacent to the Casino.
It’s a nice and casual atmosphere
here that also happens
to serve great food. One of the
only places to catch regular live
music during the day and night,
and its not all just bands, they
have DJ sets on the weekends
as well. Drinks are reasonably
priced and staff are amongst
the friendliest.

The Normanby Hotel
1 Musgrave Road,
Red Hill.
A Brisbane institution, The
Normanby is renowned by the
local folk as one of the best
nightlife spots in the city. The
Insider team highly recommend
getting a few of your new
friends and settling in for a lazy
Sunday afternoon here. You
won’t be disappointed, as the
hundreds of locals fill the beautifully
designed beer garden
and enjoy the array of drink
specials. On Sunday night, Brisbane’s
most famous pub guitarist/singer
‘Tuffy’ takes the stage
to play a stripped-back set with
an old drum machine backing
him. It is hard to describe what
makes this guy so popular, so
we recommend just seeing him
for yourself.
