Known as a lively city brimming with diversity, Melbourne is home to a number of establishments that embrace Queer culture and provide a colourful experience for most anyone keen on a fun night out.
On the South-Eastern side of the city is Commercial Road's icon,
Heaven's Door, a late night venue with live drag shows and dance acts, while
Love Machine on Little Chapel St offers a bold mix of cliquish chic with a splash of sass, and rounds out the week with the ever popular Gossip Sundays.
Cooling it a bit are the less glamtastic and more eclectic venues such as
A Bar Called Barry on Smith St, with 'Barryoke' on Saturday nights, and the
Commercial Hotel in Yarraville dishing up parmas with parody.
For those looking for a 'lad only' destination,
Sircuit in Fitzroy is exclusively for men on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday nights, while the ladies hold the floor every second and fourth Saturday of the month at
Glasshouse Hotel in Collingwood.
Whether you're straight, LGBTI, or make it up as you go along, tell us – where is Melbourne's hottest spot on the Queer scene?
