Largely based around Flinders Street, Townsville’s nightlife is lively, exciting and friendly, all the while maintaining a very easygoing, Queensland atmosphere. Whether you are after a high class cocktail, a beautiful sunset view or a serious party vibe, Townsville has something for you when the sun goes down.

Hooch and Fellow
A little piece of metropolitan chic in the tropics, Hooch and Fellow is a cosy yet sophisticated cocktail bar that has been a huge hit since opening in 2016. It was the most nominated regional bar at the Australian Bartender Magazine Awards in its first year, and is an incredible place for a classy drink. A tiny, rotating menu of four or five cocktails depending on available ingredients just adds to the charm, and ensures drinks of the highest quality. Open Tuesday to Saturday from 5pm to midnight.
Shorehouse
Designed to mimic an old-fashioned beach house with a timber roof, covered deck and white accents, Shorehouse is a picturesque and unique addition to The Strand. The views across the water to Magnetic Island make a perfect backdrop to sundowners from the extensive cocktail list, or a craft beer from the tap. Open Wednesday and Thursday from 5pm to 11pm, and Friday to Sunday 12pm to midnight.
Heritage Exchange
The Heritage Exchange does a lot for just one venue. Housed in the elegant and historic Exchange Hotel building dating from the 1880s, it is three bars in one; a Whisky Bar, a Rum Bar, and the main Public Bar. The interiors are beautifully done, all exposed bricks and vintage furniture, and with three options on the table it will provide you with whatever style night you are looking for. Open Tuesday to Thursday from 5pm to midnight, Fridays 4pm to 3am and Saturdays 5pm to 3am.
Rambutan
Rambutan’s rooftop bar is pretty beautiful, and the perfect place to kick off a night out on the town, positioned right at the heart of Townsville’s nightlife. The streetside bar is also a great place to soak up the local atmosphere, and boasts live music on Friday nights. A great choice for a lively start to your evening in Townsville. Open daily until midnight.
Molly Malones
From the outside Molly Malone’s has the look of a traditional Queensland pub, but step inside and you’ll find a fairly considerable chunk of Ireland has been transported to Queensland, along with a welcoming and lively atmosphere, as well as the traditional Irish hospitality. With live entertainment on Fridays and Saturdays, Molly’s is a fantastic choice for good times and good company. Open Monday to Thursday from 11am to midnight, and Friday to Saturday 11am to 3am.
Mad Cow Tavern
Describing itself as an “Australiana saloon and good time bar, The Mad Cow is a mainstay of Townsville’s nightlife, and is the established spot as the best place to go in town for a fun and crazy night out. A dedicated bar, dance club and party space, it brings in the local crowds every week, making it the best place to have a good time in town. Open from 9pm to 3am daily.
