O’Skulligans
Alternative Bars

Dark, loud, and unapologetically loose – O'Skulligans is the kind of bar that Fortitude Valley does better than anywhere else in the country. A rock 'n' roll lounge with a hint of Irish soul, it's a late-night hideaway steeped in alternative culture, where the decor tells stories and the drinks keep flowing until the early hours.

Inside you'll find cosy booths, a pool table, a sticker wall that's been growing since the doors opened, and a bar stocked with a serious selection of whiskey and bourbon alongside beers, wines, and cocktails (plus late-night pizza by the slice). O'Skullugans is a bar equally suited to a relaxed mid-week drink and a big Friday night – with no pretence either way.

Sister bar to The Brightside across the street, O'Skulligans carries that same live music DNA in its bones. Whether you stumble in before a gig or end up staying well past when you planned to, it has a way of becoming your favourite bar in the Valley by the end of the night.
