Best gay bars melbourne

And they are, for the most part. These are the best Melbourne gay bars and clubs providing safe spaces for the queer community. Same owners, but completely different venues. They said dinner with a show… From Wednesday to Sunday, you can enjoy your meal with a side of fabulous, raucous drag entertainment.

Downstairs is the famous Sircuit, which needs no introduction. With free inclusive entry every night from Thursday to Sunday, Sircuit is the go-to if you like your evenings to end in sweat-soaked shambles. With a rotating roster of events, DJs and Queens, Sircuit is, always, on. Pride of our Footscray Community Bar is quietly nestled in the inner-west, opposite Footscray Market.

Locals have the opportunity to buy into the bar, strengthening the community surrounding the space. The bar has a pool table and offers a multitude of fabulous entertainment nightly, from comedy to live music, poetry, adult bingo and — of course — drag.

Gay Guide: Melbourne

More info here. The name says it all! Possibly the most famous gay space in town, with a sister venue holding it down in Sydney, Poof Doof has recently undergone an inclusivity makeover. We love to see it. Known for hosting huge Thursday night parties, ADAM provides a safe space for trans and cis, same-sex attracted men to come and dance.

Clothing is optional. The pub has accommodation and is a meeting place, haven and party space for melbourne cis and trans-same-sex attracted men. A strict door policy applies: The Peel is for trans and cis, same-sex attracted men — straight males can attend as guests but are asked to be respectful and mindful of their behaviour during their time at the venue.

Honourable mention for this list has to go to Sub Club. While not a dedicated gay space per se, the club is undoubtedly a safe space for the wonderful community of queer babies who love techno.

Info here. A post shared by Wet On Wellington wetonwellington. This is a gay and sex-positive sauna with events for all genders. That said, you are more than welcome to come in, have a couple of drinks from their best licenced bar and use their facilities including a built-in spa, greek Greek-inspired steam room and 25 metre heated pool.
