Black Bear Lodge is a bar and venue tucked away above street level in the Brunswick Street Mall, Fortitude Valley, Brisbane, Australia. A stylish candlelit hideaway the Black Bear Lodge is the perfect place to enjoy a drink and catch up with friends in the early evening or dance the night away at one of our weekend vinyl soul nights. From behind our “60′s alpine chalet” bar we serve: a choice selection of Australian wines, a list of classic traditional cocktails and a collection of all Australian beers, ales & ciders. We host regular vinyl Djs as well as live performances from local and international touring acts.
Black Bear Lodge hosts shows on the big stage out back, and the little stage in the arched window room. Check Upcoming Events for info on whats coming up.

To Pitch a Show:
To pitch a show please email blackbearbookings@gmail.com.
Information to include:
Name of headlining band and if possible the proposed supports. Please link to Bandcamp, Facebook, youtube, or any other site with consistent stream – NO MYSPACE PLEASE. Speak with bands about their availability before making contact and suggest a few date options to us.
Give us some info on the bands – most recent gigs, releases, radio play and how many people are attending your shows (this gives us an idea of what to expect and we can suggest ideas to make your gig work).
Please leave ample room between your gigs to maximise turnout and give yourself time to focus energy on promoting one big show. This is important for everyone concerned.
Promotion: In general aim to have everything finalised four weeks out: Posters up around town and in the venue, a press release sent to streetpress, a facebook event up and running where people can access details. As soon as your show is confirmed send the venue a blurb about your event and pic for the website.
Thanks for your interest.
