No more wasted trips to closed venues or endless searching online. We update opening hours regularly so you can spend less time looking and more time enjoying your night out. Just allow location access or type in your suburb to find open pubs and bars around you right now.

How to Use Our Interactive Venue Map Filters

Basic Map Navigation

The map shows all venues in your area with color-coded markers. You can:

  • Pan the map by clicking and dragging
  • Zoom using the + and - buttons or your mouse wheel/pinch gestures
  • Click any marker to see venue details, including opening hours, ratings, and directions

Using the "Open Now" Filter

The most popular feature on our map is the "Open Now" filter:

  1. Look for the checkbox labeled "Show only venues currently open"
  2. Check this box to instantly filter out all closed venues
  3. Uncheck it to see all venues regardless of current opening status

This real-time filter is perfect when you need to find somewhere to go right now!

Filtering by Venue Type

Looking for a specific type of establishment? Our category filters help you narrow down options:

  1. Click the "Show Map Filters" button to expand the filter panel
  2. Check the boxes for venue types you're interested in:
    • Hotels/Pubs - Traditional Australian pubs with food and drinks
    • Bars - Specialized drinking establishments
    • Nightclubs - Dancing and late-night entertainment
    • Sports Bars - Venues showing live sports
    • Karaoke Bars - Places to sing your heart out
    • Clubs - Member clubs like RSLs
  3. The map updates instantly to show only your selected venue types

You can select multiple venue types simultaneously to see a variety of options.

Combining Filters for Perfect Results

For the best results, combine both the "Open Now" filter and venue type filters:

  1. First select "Open Now" to see what's available right now
  2. Then add category filters to narrow down to your preferred venue type
  3. Browse the filtered results on the map or switch to the list view

This combination ensures you only see relevant venues that are actually open and ready to welcome you!

Using the List View

If you prefer a text-based list instead of the map:

  1. Click the "List View" tab above the map
  2. Browse venues in order of distance from your location
  3. All your active filters still apply to the list view

The list view is perfect for quickly scanning venue information and comparing options.
