I've been to the Powerhouse quite a few times. It's an excellent venue which offers quite a range of different performances, not to mention the markets plus various events including panels, workshops and exhibitions.

Parking could be more plentiful, especially pre-performance. Other than that, the staff are all welcoming and there are ample opportunities to eat and drink at a price range to suit your budget.

Different events require different types of rooms, halls or theatres and the Powerhouse seems to have enough variety to accommodate the ever-expanding range of events that happily travel to Brisbane.

We watched the Kashmere Stage Band last night and were impressed with the entire event. First there was a documentary movie shown on the big screen, followed by a live - and very lively - performance by the band itself. The tiered seating made viewing equitable for all audience members and the temperature was comfortable throughout.

As Brisbane residents, we should be very proud that this magnificent building with its colourful heritage has been preserved to provide such a hub of entertainment options.

We went to see Kitty Flanigan at the powerhouse on the weekend and was totally impressed with this place. There is an area outside where you can sit and have a drink and something to eat with a perfect view of the Brisbane river and the surrounding city. It's very rustic which adds to the charm of he place. The theatre we sat in only held 500 people, which made it a more intimate experience, and the seating was comfortable. The only negative I found was the alcohol was very expensive.

went to see a show then after had drinks at the bar ,wine by the glass was expensive average selection on wines,slow service busy after show

Approximate cost: $9/10
