Where to go with your car hire in Fortitude Valley?
Brunswick Street
Brunswick Street spills from the pedestrian-only Brunswick Street Mall, through Ann Street, and into New Farm, in the heart of Brisbane’s entertainment district. A diverse selection of bars, cafes, restaurants, and retailers along the bustling street.
While the street is quiet and peaceful during the day, it comes alive at night. If you enjoy live music, see who is performing at The Fortitude Music Hall, go next door to Black Bear Lodge or across the street to Ric’s Bar for live and local bands. The Press Club, located further down the road, frequently hosts jazz performances. Add in The Empire Hotel, Heya Bar, Our Place, Finn McCool’s The Flying Cock, and a slew of other bars, and you’ve got yourself a night out on the town.
Chinatown Mall
You’ll be treated to a feast for the senses the instant you pass through the old Chinese gates, with authentic stone guard-lions. Perhaps it’s the bustle of Chinese supermarkets, the aromas and sounds of diverse ingredients merging in a sizzling wok, or the warm Yum Cha breakfasts shared with friends that keep people turning up. Regardless of the season, Chinatown is always ready to delight.
As you walk around Chinatown, you’ll notice the architecture, textures, colours, and emotions. It isn’t just the food that is outstanding.
