The Woolshed

The Woolshed is a restaurant, bar and nightclub venue at 22-24 Shields Street in City Place, Cairns. It combines a street-level dining area with an alfresco section and an upstairs club space, creating separate settings for meals, drinks, social gatherings and parties.

The restaurant, known as the Cotton Club, provides a relaxed place for guests to meet, eat and enjoy drinks in a central city setting. Its alfresco area adds an outdoor option at street level, while the upstairs nightclub brings a more energetic atmosphere for evening entertainment. The club’s front area opens onto a balcony overlooking the surrounding fig trees.

Party atmosphere is central to the venue’s character. The Woolshed hosts nightly parties and is designed to accommodate groups ranging from smaller gatherings to larger celebrations. Five distinct areas provide flexibility for group occasions, functions and casual meet-ups, with the restaurant and nightclub offering different moods within the same venue.

The food offering centres on meals served in a social, good-value setting rather than a formal dining experience. The combination of food, drinks and music makes the venue suitable for groups looking for a place that can move from dinner into nightlife without changing location. The restaurant area suits a more relaxed start, while the upstairs club is aimed at guests seeking a livelier party environment.

With its mix of dining, alfresco seating, drinks, group spaces and an upstairs nightclub, The Woolshed suits celebrations, organised functions and casual nights out. The venue’s layout allows smaller groups and larger parties to use different areas, while the balcony and outdoor section offer alternatives to the main indoor spaces.
