Since the early 90s Brisbane's scene has flourished with a variety of gay and lesbian (and gay and lesbian friendly) clubs, cafés and bars. Like any city, the girls and boys may not jump out at you as soon as you hit town, but scratch the surface and you'll find places to go and people to meet.

Sydney it isn't, but Brisbane has grown up since the 80s. Back then the Terminus, Sportsman and the Beat were the places to jive to. Now, the Beat has grown up to become the Mega Beat with its numerous three themed dance floors, the Wickham still knows how to pull a crowd and further up the hill, Spring Hill rocks with the Sportsman where it is still the place for drag shows and serious pool competitions.
