Fun and entertainment Australia

Located near the SouthBank station and in a building built in 1889, Little Big House is a great place to enjoy the night in Brisbane. It serves typical pub food: tacos, burgers, chicken parm or Spring Rolls. The house offers many events in a good atmosphere and it is even possible to sing in chorus on the biggest titles of the moment thanks to the "karaoke room" which can be privatized. Nice to have a drink, eat and let off steam with friends! Very warm service.

It is the longest running play in Australia with 25 years of performances. It is the true story of an incredible escape, an extraordinary journey and an intriguing twist in history. It all begins in January 1834, when the Frederick, the last ship built at the Sarah Island prison in Macquarie Harbour, is about to sail for the new prison in Port Arthur. The actors are very funny and involve the audience. Good English preferred to understand the humor of the play.

Two bars with great cocktails, including one on the roof, a Korean-influenced restaurant with good dumplings and a performance hall, the Rechabite is an institution in its own right. Built by a religious temperance movement opposed to alcohol consumption, with the aim of creating a convivial environment where people could get together, it is now a temple to entertainment! Numerous concerts, often offbeat burlesque shows and the Perth Fringe Festival, a comedy festival held in January and February, are held here.

The Belgrave cinema is THE cinema in Armidale. It is also one of the main entertainment places of the city. This small cinema which looks like an art house cinema has only the appearance of one, because it shows essentially blockbusters intended for all audiences. Two rooms are available and allow the daily projection of 4 or 5 different films. At the entrance of the establishment, a plaque reminds us that it exists thanks to the Friends of the Cinema, who created the place after the closing of the Capitol Theater, in 1983.

If there is a movie theatre not to be missed in the Glen Innes area, it is this one. Installed in an old chapel (1885) whose general architecture has remained intact despite the change of business, one can attend the projection of recent films in a most original decor. In terms of equipment, the place sometimes offers 3D, Digital and Dolby 7.1 projections. It offers few films and few screenings, but it's already something!

Looking for a simple, no-fuss lunch? Go to the Beaches Bar & Grill to enjoy a young and festive atmosphere while savoring dishes of good quality-price ratio. Fish & chips, steak or burgers, the menu is not sophisticated but we appreciate the generous portions and the efficient service. You will be able to sit on a large and airy terrace, with live music on some evenings. This pub is also abackpacker hostel and a restaurant: so be warned, some nights the atmosphere is particularly noisy and fiery!

Opera Queensland celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2021. When it was founded in 1981, the Opera was strictly lyrical.
