What to Expect @ Bowler Bar

By John Warwick

The Bowler Bar is an exclusive underground escape from the chaotic streets of Fortitude Valley. If you are after a classy yet trendy venue to spend your evening, The Bowler Bar is the place to be. After its grand opening at the end of 2010, The Bowler Bar is fast becoming Brisbane’s place to be seen on a Saturday night.

The Bowler Bar is located on Brunswick Street, underneath the Tempo Hotel. This downstairs club has an “industrial chic” theme, with stairs leading to a small, yet spacious room with limited lighting where you can socialize, pick up, or dance the night away. The decor has an underground basement atmosphere with brick walls, artistic graffiti and limited lighting. The music is a fusion of indie-techno, which suits the crowd Bowler Bar draws in. The dark secluded booths around the edge of the room can be used to chat, drink or hook up. The toilets also feature a furry wall to observe or soothingly stroke after a couple of drinks.

The Bowler Bar draws in young hipster/indie demographic. Most of people dress with a trendy preppy style, with most dressing classy with an indie edge. Like most clubs in Brisbane, Bowler Bar accommodates the 18 – 25 crowds. However, it is more of a sophisticated and chic club, with a dash of casual. The best appeal of the Bowler Bar is that it is still a new bar, so no big lines at the bar and a full, yet not crowded club.

There is a cover charge of $10, which is cheaper than other clubs in the valley. Another benefit of the Bowler Bar is that if you get in before 11pm, they shout you a free glass of champagne.

So if you are after an exclusive and classy night without the pricey drinks and entry or formal dress standards, the Bowler Bar is the way to go. With its popularity on the rise, make sure you check out Bowler Bar before you’re the only person who hasn’t been at the hottest and most exclusive bar in Brisbane.
