Brunswick Street is a main thoroughfare within the suburbs of New Farm and Fortitude Valley (known locally as the Valley) in Brisbane, Australia. The street is not entirely roadway but is a pedestrian mall for a hundred metres near its centre.[1]

It is known as the major nightclub precinct in Brisbane, having many bars and clubs as well as restaurants located along its length. The Valley Mall is expanding with new clubs such as The Met, Alleoneword, X&Y, Cloudland and Planet adding to the established Empire Hotel, Family, Monastery and GPO as well as many others. The McWhirters department store is situated on the corner of the Brunswick Street mall and Wickham Street.

One street to the west adjacent to the mall is the Chinatown. The heritage listed Corbett and Son Store and Coronet Flats were built along the street. The street is used for the Queensland Pride rally and march.[2]
