The Triffid

The verdict

The Triffid in Newstead is Brisbane's most iconic live music venue and bar tucked away in the booming burb of Newstead.

With a hot line up of gigs from some of the country's and the world's hottest acts, and a bar and beer garden that are open for drinks and good times even if no one's on the stage (case in point, the annual Brisbane Burger Festival), The Triffid is renowned for good music and good time for a very good reason.
