Dean Acuri

Sircuit in Fitzroy has become one of Melbourne’s most popular 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 andeat 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 continue 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.

This cabaret and cocktail bar is home to a fabulous array of queer events and performers. Honcho Disko transforms the 86 into an inclusive hub of queer expression on Thursdays, and drag performers take to the stage on Friday in a night of comedy, spot numbersand games. Granny Bingo on the first Monday of the month always sells out, with the award-winning Edith Vale and Maureen McGillicuddy taking ball play to a whole new level of fun. It’s also home to Equal Love Melbourne, where community members who spent yearsfighting for equal marriage hang out.
