The Zoo

Had a great time watching The Andrew Gurruwiwi Band live at the Zoo last night. They had great energy and an awesome set. The venue was pretty cool in a cool part of town.

The Zoo is one of the longest continually running live music venues in Brisbane. I have been there dozens of times and have seen many great bands there. The most recent visit was to see Totally Unicorn and Mark of Cain. The bar has a comprehensive range of drinks, plus there is a small bar next to the stage now, which the singer from T. U. used to good effect. They also do food on certain nights. The vibe is friendly and the sound is great, too.

With events happening out of the venue’s control aggressive patrons, the situations were handled with respect and urgency that was required. The manager Louise apologies if spelt incorrect was immediately helpful and considerate, making sure our time was still enjoyable and appropriate care taken. The Zoo is a new favourite venue to enjoy a night out at! Additionally, a lovely staff member also made sure we made it home safely she knows who she is. Extremely happy with how things were taken care of!

Excellent live music experience, decent venue size, friendly staff just a shame about the humidity. All round had a great night. Can't wait to return!

Was one of their first customers back in the day Friday capacino and nachos the capacino brothers

Really good music venue. Audio is clear and lighting is great. Decent drink selection

Brilliant valley live music venue. Up close and personal to the stage, low ceiling, great sound system make for probably the best atmosphere of the Valley live music venues. Saw the Jungle Giants under 18's with my 8 and 13 year old kids and they loved the whole experience of their first live gig in the mosh. Friendly staff wandering around handing out ear plugs where necessary was a great plus. Couple more water stations wouldn't go amiss as it gets hot and sweaty, but that's all part of the fun! Great place for live music and if you're worried about taking kids to an U18 event, don't be, the Zoo provides a safe space and comfortable environment.

Great music venue. It's quite small so only a few hundred capacity but always have a good view of the stage and can get very close. The bar is really nice and well-presented with lots of range of drinks, though not too much on tap. Sound in the venue is brilliant - regardless of where you are you'll hear the band perfectly.

Very funky decked out interior Enough seating & tables Lady on door had the best customer service - friendly & helpful Enjoyed my night out here

I was lucky enough to watch Thy Art Is Murder last night, at the inimitable and legendary The Zoo. I attended with my 19-year-old daughter and, whilst there, realised I first visited this club, in the early 90's, at roughly the same age. To frequent the same venue for three decades, having watched an amazing array of local and international talent, epitomises just what an iconic and treasured establishment the Zoo truly is. Bands, beers, great staff, lazy lounges, a pool table and more.....head-bang or chill, The Zoo will cater to your needs. I hope to visit there for many more years to come, and I hope you do too.
