The Brunswick Street venue has a rich history in Brisbane eclectic Fortitide Valley entertainment precinct. Previous incarnations were 'The Hacienda' in the 1980s and later Tom and Jan Dooley's 'Dooley's', before a short stint as the the uninspiring 'Valley Hotel'. The venue was acquired in 2010 by Steve Hammond, who also owns The Chalk Hotel in Woolloongabba.
