Brisbane's nightlife today is a thriving and varied mix of pubs, clubs, themed bars, and various other venues. There are two main areas of interest: The "city" ( CBD ) and the "valley" ( Fortitude Valley ). While the city typically consists of venues catering to those with a more traditional taste in music or atmosphere, the Valley typically offers a drastically different, more cosmopolitan selection of places. The Queen Street Mall in the CBD offers nightclubs and bars, as well as the Conrad Treasury casino. Nightclubs in the city include Strike Bowling , a nightclub with bowling lanes, and the lounge bar Jade Buddha . More conventional bars include The Victory , and the Adrenaline Sports Bar. Fortitude Valley (popularly known as 'the Valley'), was zoned as an entertainment precinct in 2004 , and is home to pubs, bars and nightclubs. Notable clubs include the Family nightclub, the biggest dance club in Southeast Queensland , The Beat and The Depot . The Elephant and Wheelbarrow and Dooleys are Irish/British Pubs while the Royal George and Belushi's are modern Australian pubs. West End , a suburb to the south of the CBD, plays host to a mixture of street dining, music and clubs. RSL clubs and local pubs around the Suburbs occasionally have live acts. .]] All kinds of music can be found in Brisbane's thriving live scene, from Dance to Rock , Pop and Hip Hop . Most venues are found in the Valley and surrounding areas since the popular Mary St and Festival Hall city venues were closed. Notable venues in the Valley include The Troubadour , The Zoo , Rics Cafe , The Rev , The Arena , The Tivoli , The Empire Hotel and The Press Club . Most major Concerts are held in the Brisbane Entertainment Centre in Boondall . Other major events (including raves) are hosted at the RNA Showgrounds due to its massive size and under-utilization when not hosting the Ekka . Brisbane's live music scene has long been supported by independent record stores such as Rocking Horse Records and Skinny's Music . NOTABLE BRISBANITES — POP AND ROCK & ROLL SINGERS AND MUSICIANS
