Moorooka

Updated: Sep 29, 2024

Arcana would have to be Brisbane's most unique event and function space, tucked away in a cleverly repurposed warehouse in the back streets of Moorooka, where it caters for everything from private parties, weddings and baby showers to circus, theatre, cabaret and concerts.

Garden Bar at Arcana Brisbane, Moorooka

The fully licenced warehouse space and creative arts hub incorporates a funky garden bar, which is a gorgeous oasis of lush greenery by day, transforming into an enchanted spectacle by night, with festoon lighting and stunning LED displays. The idyllic space can accommodate 70 people seated or 100 standing. A menu of beers, wines, spirits, and cocktails is available, complemented by food from Arcana's Tasty Kitchen.

Interior seating and stage at Empress Theatre

Arcana is also home to the Empress Theatre, a purpose-built theatre with soaring 8m high ceilings which can host theatre, circus, burlesque, concerts and movie screenings, corporate events or film shoots. It also converts into the Empress Room, the perfect backdrop for wedding receptions and larger scale special occasions. The Empress can accommodate 80-220 seated guests or up to 350 standing.

Tables and chairs inside the Emoress Room at Arcana Brisbane

The venue features a large raised custom stage, impressive lighting, full black drapes, and a spacious dressing room, creating a unique and industrial ambience.
