A Fortitude Valley club with several scenes
The Beat Megaclub is at 669/683 Ann Street in Fortitude Valley. Its different dance areas, bars and beer gardens give the night more than one pace: you can head for the music, then step away from the crowd for a drink or a quieter break. The club is known for its LGBTQ+ friendly setting and regular drag performances.
The venue dates to 1983, and has long been part of Brisbane’s club scene. Its scale is part of the appeal, particularly if your group wants to explore different spaces rather than stay on one dance floor all night.
Music, dancing and performances
DJs play a mix that includes pop, R&B, electronic music and old-school hits. The different rooms have their own musical feel, so take a look around before settling in. Drag performances and special events add another reason to check what is on for your chosen night.
The Beat is a night out for dancing and live entertainment, rather than a quiet bar visit. If you want to talk, the beer gardens offer a change of scene from the dance floors. The venue also has several bars, so you can find a drink without making the dance floor your only destination.
Planning your visit
The club is listed as open Wednesday to Sunday, from 8 pm until 3 am. Entry arrangements can differ by night, and some nights may have a cover charge, so check the venue’s own current details before setting out.
