The Venue

West End’s only riverfront venue – The iconic Souths Leagues Club. Forget what you know about smelly, dull, trophy laden clubs. Now half way through a brand and venue transformation, the club is embracing a number of exciting concepts and activations centered on exceptional hospitality, innovative ideas, and superb customer service.

While recognising the rich history of this classic league venue – South’s is aiming to be regarded as the true “local” in the heart of Brisbane’s West End.

Clubs are the heartbeat of eclectic, diverse and grassroot ideas. One of these ideas is the launch of Westoria; a fusion of colour, sight and sounds. This surreal night market takes over the South’s Car Park every Friday night and forms part of the venue’s offering. Currently paused for renovations – we are aiming to reopen in May.

We are now looking for a talented, organised, hospitality professional who is seeking a genuine career opportunity with a well established management group.
