With a lineup of top international and local DJs to boast, Flinders HQ has quickly come to be a local favorite for some nighttime revelry. When the nightclub was originally slated to take-over the home of Consortium, many were skeptical of what to expect. All doubts have since left the building, and Flinders HQ has rightly come to be touted as one of Townsville's best. The decor is chic, with neon lights to set the mood, but it's the music that Flinders HQ is really known for. Spend the night on the dance floor grooving along to the beat, or treat yourself and your posse to VIP service at one of the private booths. Stellar service, friendly staff and a well-stocked bar round-off the offer at the fabulous Flinders HQ.
