Quite possibly the busiest nightclub in the whole of North Queensland. The vibe here is pumping no matter the day or night. Big shout out to the amazing staff you have been on point every time I have been here. Amazing outdoor seating area and big smoking section. Pool party goes off on Sundays. Great variety of beer on tap and cocktails to chose from and the food is really good. Beware of the long lines on the weekends so get in early!

Did my first shoey here. Got the shoe from a random bloke who was keen to share his Converse high top. The high top was the perfect size for a pint of beer- I didn't spill a drop. 5 stars to Gilligans.
