Brisbane's Mana Bar Closes

Mana Bar in Brisbane is set to close
Founder and Publisher. Based in Brisbane.
Howard launched 'Scene Magazine' in 1993. Paul Keating was Prime Minister. Whitney, Janet and Mariah all had Aussie #1s and Mark Zuckerberg was 9. Over 30 years he's overseen the growth of scenestr to become Australia's largest – and only national – street press while forging a digital-first imperative in the mid-naughties. Social media remains a complete mystery to him. He's been spotted at raves, hip hop concerts, Motown revivals, judged battle of the bands, shot video for opening night and national awards red carpet, partnered with music industry showcases, comedy festivals and myriad other cultural productions ... and he interviewed Eddie Izzard. He likes Star Trek and a good Oxford comma — way too much fun at parties.

Mana Bar, Brisbane's first video gaming bar, has announced it is closing its doors.


The quirky and authentic bar was operated by three gaming afficionados including Guy 'Yug' Blomberg who also established video gaming website Australian Gamer.

Mana Bar had been operating for five years and had attracted a loyal following. One disciple has already created an online ode ode to the venue.

A statement on the Fortitude Valley venue's Facebook Page reads:
 

Excerpt from Seeress of Kell epilogue by David Eddings.Mana Bar will be closing its doors effective this Sunday the 24th of May. Thanks to everyone who's made it the sweet ride it was.
