What a great local bar in Melbourne! I happen to be in town for the once a month underwear party (a local suggested it) and it was a blast! Great vibe, energy.

Summary: dont look at the staff in the wrong way or youll get your drink spat in, unless youre into that.

Completely unacceptable for any establishment to treat customers in such a disrespectful and inconsiderate manner. Being kicked out into the rain without even allowing you and your trans girl best friend to seek shelter in the doorway is not only unfriendly but also unsafe.

Actions speak louder than any words and the way they acted on us as human beings is repulsive. It shows what kind of crowd you're surrounding yourself with.
One nice thing I can say is they atleast directed us to a different bar except it was closing in 10 minutes hahah big help, yikes.

Horrible horrible place. Guys are so rude. The "Manger" was so unprofessional! Would not recommend!!!! Like I totally understand it's a men's only bar which I did not know going in but he did not need to make us wait in the rain while we look for something else. He could have been nice and understanding and accommodating!

Really lovely friendly leather and bear bar with a crowd so nice I went back twice. Couldn't recommend it more for a fun and relaxing evening chatting with the cutest men Melbourne has to offer. Sunday social was really nice and they have sausage sandwiches when we I soak up the booze. 10/10.

Stayed here for NYE '23/ 24. Was amazingly surprised. Our experience staying the night here, was GREAT. Be prepared your above a bar, that wasn't an issues for us. Our room was clean and the decor suited the theme of the bar. For our $150, we got a comfy bed, light breakfast and a very very late check out. Thank you Damian( i think that was the guy's name, he's was extremely helpful) Would we stay here again? Absolutely.10/10
