There are regular weekly events including a queer piano bar on Wednesday nights. Froth Fridays and Venus Saturdays feature rotating hosts, DJs and entertainment. Examine their Facebook page for details. Entertainment goes good beyond standard drag queens with drag kings, burlesque and live music.
There is normally no cover impose (except for special 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 close of Smith Street so you've got a rare 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.
The lock closed in after a community boycott tiggered by allegations that the club owners had unfairly dismissed staff, fostered unsafe operate conditions, engaged in wage theft, and held homophobic views.
