Venue Focus: Badlands Bar

Answered by: Mark Partridge (Owner)

What separates Badlands Bar apart from the rest?

Distance. Yep, Badlands is a couple of minutes outside of the main drag, but it’s definitely worth the effort. Cheap booze will more than make up for your $3 Uber! Two rooms of raging live music, plus the huge festival beer garden with food trucks and all drinks $5 during happy hour, 7pm - 8pm.

Three gigs at Badlands Bar you don’t want to miss?

1. Angel Olsen, 8 Dec (sold out)

2. New Year’s Eve Bonanza. It’s going to be big - keep your eyes peeled for details!

3. Badlands ‘City Limits Festival’, 5 Mar. Line-up announced soon.
