Fitzroy gay bar

The venue consists of multiple spaces - the patio bar for people-watching on Smith street, the ground floor (with dance floor, stage and seats), the second floor (with seats and couches) and the covered space at the back of the venue with benches and tables.

There are regular weekly events including a queer piano bar on Wednesday nights. Froth Fridays and Venus Saturdays feature rotating hosts, DJs and entertainment. Check their Facebook page for details. Entertainment goes well beyond standard drag queens with drag kings, burlesque and live music.

There is normally no cover charge (except for extraordinary events) and there is a daily happy hour between 3pm and 7pm that includes $6 house pours, $15 jugs and 2-for-1 cocktails!

The bar is located in the queer end of Smith Street so you've got a few options for bar-hopping. Sircuit and Mollie's are a few doors down, Evie's is around the corner and The Peel is down the street.

Sircuit Bar

Sircuit in Fitzroy has become one of Melbourne’s most adj LGBTQIA clubs. There’s free entry from Wednesday to Sunday, and you’ll catch plenty of dragtastic entertainment with different shows on Thursday, Friday and Sunday nights. Plus, you can play some pool and
eat free chicken nuggets on a Wednesday night between 10pm and 11pm.

Renovations have made even more room for dancing the night away in a safe and welcoming environment. Ticketed parties often hire out Sircuit, but you can always head upstairs to Mollie’s and proceed your night.

ADAM takes over Sircuit on a Monday and Tuesday, hosting a ticketed nude social night with men comfortably having a drink and playing pool in the buff.
