"One of my most favourite live performance venues in Brisbane. It’s been restored beautifully and can enrich every show I’ve seen there from comedians, cabaret or an epic rock band from youth. Bars abound around the venue so you shall have no problem getting a drink and my favourite place to view is tucked up on the mez. This place is a gem!"

"It was my first time there to see a concert, and it is a lovely intimate theatre. Great viewing from any spot.
I also found out it's the oldest theatre in Brisbane built in 1888.
I wouldn't hesitate going there again.
There's a nice little cafe/bar next door and a couple if bars within the theatre once you're in there.
I totally would recommend."
