5 Best Brisbane Clubs

Family

Family is well known as one of the best Brisbane clubs and has received many awards to back up this claim. The club spans multiple levels in a warehouse-style building, with DJs who keep the music pounding and the crowd on its feet dancing late into the night. You'll never get bored here like you might at some other Brisbane clubs because you can simply head off to another floor or area and find something different going on, including a bar made entirely of ice. Choose a private, themed booth if you come with a crowd. It costs extra, but the pampering is well worth the expense.

The Bowery

If you are a jazz lover and want to find a compatible place among Brisbane clubs, head over to the Bowery. This jazz club has frequently changing musical acts sure to please the ears of any jazz enthusiast while the wide cocktail selection tantalizes the taste buds. If you're serious about jazz and serious about your drinks, this is the place among Brisbane clubs to while the time away until night turns into morning.

The Press Club

The Press Club is one of those Brisbane clubs where you're guaranteed to be up and dancing before the night has gone on for too long. The club is dark and relaxed, with comfortable leather booths that are perfect for hanging out with friends. But before long the live music will lure you out onto the dance floor. Expect an eclectic musical mix of jazz, funk, and soul with a beat that won't let you sit still. The Press Club is still among the top Brisbane clubs even on nights when there is no live band because talents DJs still make sure that the music never stops.

The Tivoli

The Tivoli is well known among Brisbane clubs as a venue for live bands and entertainment. Dating back to 1917, this club is fully remodeled in classic Art Deco style that's as pleasing to the eyes as the musical entertainment is to the ears. Tickets sell out fast for the most popular artists, so reserve your spot quickly if this is your choice of Brisbane clubs. Some acts allow minors, and these generally end early, but adults-only acts often run until midnight.

Cloudland

If you prefer your Brisbane clubs to be a bit ostentatious, Cloudland is your place. This club is a paradise of plants, waterfalls, and statues, with a brocade-lined ceiling, retractable roof,  a bar made from almost 20,000 individual glass balls, and even exquisite embroidery on the cushions. Cloudland is spread out over four floors, so plan to spend some time exploring the club before you settle into a spot for the evening. This is a club among Brisbane clubs to be remembered for a long time, for its beauty as much as for the clubbing experience.
