Every city in the world has distinct pockets of colour, culture and character. London has Covent Garden, Paris has Montmartre, New York has Time Square and out of Brisbane’s many precincts - James Street, Portside, Valley, Oxford Street, South Bank, West End, Chinatown, Manly, the CBD – one stands out from the crowd - Caxton Street.

The famous Caxton Street Precinct with its renowned nightlife and divine dining is the jewel in a crown that includes close proximity to Suncorp Stadium games, Brisbane Arts Theatre, Barracks Cinema and Cafes, Roma Street and South Bank Parklands within walking distance, specialty shopping on Latrobe Terrace or Park Road while right on the doorstep of the CBD.

Today, the Caxton Street Precinct is the heart of Brisbane's burgeoning “place to be scene”. Famous for its diversity of nightclubs, pubs and restaurants, you can also relax in the divine Queensland sunshine while sipping coffee on the street and watch the endless parade of the Street’s miscellany of people.
