Crowbar announced in early October that they would be taking over the space of Brisbane live music institution The Zoo, following its devastating closure earlier this year.
The original Crowbar Brisbane, run by Tyla Dombroski and Trad Nathan, opened its doors in 2012 and closed in 2020 due to difficulties brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, the same team will bring The Zoo’s empty space back to life.
In a statement, Nathan said Crowbar intends to “honour the amazing path” laid out by generations of The Zoo custodians “and continue offering great events for years to come.”
“As a former punter, band member, booker and promoter, playing The Zoo was a great achievement for aspiring bands. We’re excited to be able to keep music within its walls.”
Dombroski, who’s also a Board member of Sound NSW and President of the newly formed Live Music Venues Alliance, added, “We are so grateful to have the opportunity to work with the landlords, the Apostolos family, in maintaining the property as a live music venue.
“Our focus is to continue providing a great space for artists and music lovers while working with industry and government to ensure the survival of grassroots venues across Australia.”
