Kizomba at The Fourth Monkey Cocktail Bar & Grill, Brisbane

The Fourth Monkey Cocktail Bar & Grill runs a single weekly kizomba night on Tuesdays in Brisbane. The night is promoted by a local DJ (Facebook page DJ Cue T) and usually carries a cover, around $10 with free entry for first-timers. As the name says, this is a cocktail bar and grill: expect bar seating, dining tables and a cleared area rather than a purpose-built dance hall; the venue serves cocktails and casual meals so you can do dinner-and-dance in one spot.

That layout shapes the evening: a compact, social floor with a DJ in a corner and people moving between drinks and partners. There's only one regular event listed, so the crowd can be variable; confirm start time, cover and any changes on the promoter's Facebook before you go.
