Why Kaplan English students love the Brisbane nightlife

When the weather’s as good as it is in Brisbane, why wait for sunset to start enjoying the nightlife? Forget sleeping; the Australian city’s thriving entertainment scene will take you from warm early evening right through to sunrise the next day!

Begin your Brisbane adventure with your fellow Kaplan English language students with a casual pint in the Plough Inn’s sunny beer garden. Next, taste contemporary Australian cuisine on the relaxed waterside terrace of Brisbane restaurant Brett’s Wharf.

For a more sophisticated open-air nightlife experience in Brisbane, head to Cloudland bar and restaurant, with its state-of-the-art retractable roof and lush plant life. Anise, on the other hand, is the place to go for fine dining. This elegant restaurant offers adventurous yet delicious dishes such as brioche crumbed lambs brain kiev alongside French classics. Really want the night to get off to an electric start? Try the mysterious ‘Corpse reviver no.2’ absinthe cocktail.

If you’re looking for a more laid back night out, the Sit Down Comedy Club and the intimate Brisbane Jazz Club theatre are perfect. If that’s still not peaceful enough for you, the Garuva restaurant and bar is as tranquil as you can get, as comfy cushions and rugs cover the floor for you to lounge on. This Asian themed venue also serves indulgent cocktails that seem more like desserts than drinks.

As the night draws on, Brisbane really starts to come to life. Choose between the thrills of the Treasury hotel Casino or live alternative music, from punk to reggae, at the Zoo, Brisbane’s informal music venue. Kaplan International Colleges’ English language students also love the youthful feel of rave club Monastery, not to mention Family, Brisbane’s biggest nightclub sensation. Here, top Australian DJ’s play the latest dance tracks through a 1.5 million dollar sound system, across many exotically themed rooms, from the Antarctic Ice Lounge, to the magnificent Chinese VIP booth.
