The Zoo

For the uninitiated, The Zoo is Brisbane's most long standing live music venue/nightclub. We cater to the more independant end of the musical spectrum, and are open Wednesdays - Saturdays, and some Sundays. In any week you could see anything from beats, hip hop, jazz, rock, and pop to acoustic, folk, dub and reggae. As the number 1 venue in Brisbane for live music, The Zoo has played host to a raft of amazing events and is solely responsible for some of the biggest nights out in Brisbane.
