Not sure if they do food but everything else is fabulous. Seeing the amazing Anna Weatherup and Amy Vee.

Excellent venue good vibes. Shape makes it hard to see stage from the back, but it's great if you simply arrive early. If they improved accessibility it'll be 5 stars

Space is tiny & you have to squish past the stage to get to 1 of only 3 toilets? That there are no signs for. Not enough room to be live music venue. I can only see this place being ok as a bar. I truly hope this venue never accepts another metal gig cos they are not the right venue for it

This is a great venue. I haven't been since about 2012 when it was still The Troubadour, but I came back to see a thrash metal gig! The venue is cosy, but big enough. The bar staff are friendly and the drinks are great in choice and price is reasonable as well.

Black Bear Lodge is a cocktail bar and venue tucked away above street level in Fortitude Valley’s Brunswick Street Mall, in Brisbane, Australia. With the feel of a candlelit speakeasy, offering a early evening during weekdays or night away on weekends. They serve a choice selection of wine, cocktails, and beers, ales & ciders. They host live performances from local and international touring acts and regularly have DJ nights. Unfortunately whenbusy, it is too much warm and toilets are disgusting.
