Hi, and welcome to The Best of Brisbane! As a resident of Queensland’s capital for 15+ years, I have gathered a wealth of knowledge that I would love to share.
With exceptional weather, scenery, wildlife and more, Brisbane is an urban hub and a thriving tourist destination. Keep updated with this blog for frequent updates on the best Brisbane has to offer.
Joie de vivre!
From Fortitude Valley, Riverside and Howard Smith’s Wharves, the night life in Brisbane is exhilarating. As a local, I am well aware that the best clubbing destinations change depending on the time & day.
To experience the best Brisbane has to offer on a Friday night, head to Fridays! Open 11am to 3am, the waterfront hotspot serves an array of delicious alcoholic beverages to hundreds of people. The classy bar attracts large crowds from 5pm work knock-off, and a younger audience from 10pm onwards.
Saturday nights is for the Valley. Fortitude Valley offers a range of clubs in walking distance of each other. For old school hits, try Retros or Birdees, or for a rave, the Met or Prohibition. The Valley has something for everyone.
Brisbane is notorious for it’s Sunday sesh. The Fox Hotel is an iconic colourful, rooftop bar in the heart of South Brisbane. The party kicks off at 2pm and goes all night (well, until 2am!). Affectionately known as Stockies, the Stock Exchange Hotel is another raging Sunday sesh destination. The multilevel venue can host large crowds, and large crowds it attracts. Serving delicious food and cheap drinks, Stockies is the place to be on a Sunday night.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.
Why do this?
The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.
To help you get started, here are a few questions:
You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.
Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.
When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
