The Bearded Lady

The Bearded Lady, located at 138 Boundary Street in West End, Brisbane, was a cherished live music venue that closed its doors permanently on May 23, 2025. Over its decade-long tenure, it became a beloved hub for the local arts and music community, hosting a diverse array of performances, including live music, theatre, comedy, and circus acts. The venue's eclectic atmosphere featured walls adorned with graffiti art, mismatched wooden furnishings, and a vintage piano, creating a unique and welcoming environment for patrons. Despite its popularity, The Bearded Lady faced financial challenges due to rising operational costs and decreased patronage, leading to its closure. Its absence marks a significant loss for Brisbane's cultural landscape, leaving a void for artists and patrons who valued its vibrant and inclusive atmosphere.
