A gay club open Saturday nights with a big dance floor and bar. Opens at 11 but gets really busy around 12:30am great music, great vibe, great crowd! The music is a fusion of underground house, and a few scattered camp numbers to get the crowd going. Hot bar staff, sunken dance floor and amazing laser show. The vibe is upbeat. You'll find cheeky drag queens having a boogie and eccentrically dressed patrons showing their true colours. Get in for a cheaper price at the door by saying 'Jack's List'

One of Melbourne's oldest gay bars. Expect top 40 and retro hits, plenty to sing to, but not a lot of club tracks. Thursday nights sees a younger, twinky crowd, and picks up from 1am. Friday and Saturdays tend to pack out after other venues close - all roads lead to the Peel, as the advertising says! Has a 24/7 license, so closing times are approximate, if they're busy they stay open later, although entry is not guaranteed late at night. Shows before midnight on Saturdays.
