One of the only nightclubs that can cater to all ages and still probably the most popular.plays a selection of new and old music. Often only open a half of its downstairs floor now compared to previous times when it had up and downstairs operate.

The Mad Cow is one of Townsville's most popular and patronized nightclubs and bars. The Mad Cow caters to a very wide ranging cow from 18 year olds through to people in their 40's. Often at the end of a night many locals will choose the Mad Cow as their last venue before heading home. The Mad Cow downstairs area consists of a small dance floor area, a couple of pool tables and numerous barrels and seats where you can rest your legs. Upstairs is generally a more relaxed atmosphere and opens most Friday and Saturday nights. It plays a bit more of a country type of music and also features an outdoor balcony. The female bar staff are dressed as cowgirls supporting the atmosphere and are generally very friendly and professional while doing their jobs. Don't rely on having to go to the toilets here though as they are regularly disgusting and don't ever appear to be cleaned at all during the evening. Getting into the Mad Cow is no problem if you are a female but males depending on the night will need to make sure they are dressed appropriately. The Mad Cow security regularly turn away more patrons than the rest of the clubs combined in Townsville.

Not a bad night club, very small for the amount of people they have jammed in. Dance floor is quite small too which always has sticky floor and broken glass on it. Average service. Upstairs of the club is a much more relaxing vibe..

came in one a very busy night yet was not waiting to long to get served drinks, glasses were picked up quickly and its a very clean environment as well as a very happy atmosphere. very happy to go again

Great staff, great music, great venue anytime day or night and a great mix of young and old a really happy friendly crowd .
