Beat MegaClub

Fortitude Valley


It's party time every night of the week at this behemoth club, which offers a range of club spaces and bars for hedonistic night owls. DJ-spun tunes range from hard house, techno and electro, to retro and hip-hop beats. It’s big with the queer community, with regular special events spanning drag shows to jelly wrestling.
