What to Expect @ Alhambra
by Julia Roscoe
Alhambra Lounge is Brisbane's premier boutique nightclub, and there is a reason for it. Pulling in some of the hottest DJs on the local music scene, for such a small place they really do pack a punch. Open Thursday through Sunday, they really do cater for all sorts of party goers.
We decided to check it out on a Thursday night and by the time we got there, the cool kids had already descended in force. The dancefloor was totally packed, the beer garden was shoulder to shoulder and the bathroom line was out of control. But I can happily say the drink service was timely. With only 1 bar I had expected to wait around for a while, but they are on top of it (and they mix a mean drink!)
There's plenty of (very comfortable) seats around, so if that's your thing you can sit back and enjoy the atmosphere, while the DJ spins an eclectic mix of old and new. The decor is similar to that of an old-school jazz bar, with leather sofas, grand red curtains and table candles. If you're looking for a place to have a few quiet drinks, then Alhambra Lounge is not for you, but if you're out to party then this is the place to be. With a small cover charge of $10 there's no need to leave in search of a better place; this is the spot you can set up camp for the entire night and not want to leave until the music stops and the lights come on.
