nice drinks, lots of fun. staff/security are always good about getting creeps thrown out too. smokers area is nice

Currently spending my first time here to see my friend perform in drag. What a wonderful place! Spilled drinks cleaned up quickly from the dancefloor. Patrons all friendly and not afraid to have a boogie or a chat. One patron was touching and bothering another patron. Security removed him with the quickness and kept checking in to see if we were okay. Drag performers all brilliant (I may be a little biased on that though) 🤣 Music is a great mix of classic and new tunes. I will definitely be back!

Amazing place. Looked after me for my birthday. The new cocktail bar is absolutely beautiful. Great place to spend the night having a drink with friends. Thanks heaps to our two bartenders/servers, you really made my night feel special. We look forward to coming on a night the stage area is open. Highly recommend this bar!

This is easily the best queer club in Melbourne with consistently the best drag shows in town! The cocktail room reno is stunning for quieter drinks, although I do miss the pool tables. The fact we have this gem in the heart of the West 10mins from home is mwah 😘 chefs kiss, yet also 10mins from the city for those nights you wana party til 5am. Drinks are good, service with a smile and decore is also stunning. Whats not to love about Pride? ❤🧡💛💚💙💜💖

PrideooF has become a part of my life. I love the staff and people that I meet. The cocktails and drinks are made with love. I've made amazing friendships. I could live anywhere in Oz or overseas but I feel special at PrideooF so I'm staying put, however I travel a lot . Even the security people are delightful and friendly. I've never known such diverse clientele/staff so connected.

Not my cup of tea place but we had a great night. Awesome atmosphere for a local venue. The shows were awesome also. Will definitely be back

Pride of our Footscray is the Pride of Melbourne! Fantastic staff, easy going and inclusive atmosphere. The Cocktails are delicious the patrons are friendly and you can order in food 😃 Aaaand the Showgirls were Fabulous with a fun and lively show with singing, dancing,costume changes and even Opera 💥😮💥 so much fun was had. Thank you i will be back.

I had the BEST night here for my first night out in Melbourne. I am so glad I found this place! The atmosphere was great and so welcoming, music fantastic, cheap drinks, and to top it off drag performances too?! What else could you possibly want. Made a bunch of friends even though I came on my own and I have to give a shout out to River begind the bar as she helped me navigate the entire night, not sure I could have done it without her. Give this woman a raise, she's lovely!! I'll be back!

Interesting, not sure what I was expecting but ended up having a good time. Top notch drag talent and friendly staff. The little cocktail bar, separate to the rest of the club, was a nice little Oasis from the bustle of the rest of club. Worth a go if you're in the area

A nice and cozy bar, great staff and some fun cocktails available. Bingo night is a great time with lots of laughs. And the smokers balcony is a great spot for a mid-game whinge with friends.

The staff are super friendly and endearing. The performances are fabulous and hilarious. The drinks are cheap, but good. And the whole place screams community

Visited for the early drag shows stayed for the incredibly friendly staff, great service, fabulous cocktail menu and music. It was like coming home. Thank you Mon, Nick and Matt for an amazing evening, the spicy margaritas with chilli salt and jalapeños a winner.

Great place to have a night out at the weekend. Fun drag shows on Saturdays in a friendly and welcoming bar.

Great community bar, no frills, just good drinks, great bar staff and a real sense of community. Drag bingo on a Wednesday night 7-10pm is a lot of fun!

Great place. Fun Crowd. Excellent drinks. What more do you want? Great mix of straight and gay crowd. Highly recommend. Shows good too.

Unbelievable. So much fun and such a warm welcoming place. Love it.

Really loved this venue..only dislike was the smoke machine & way to many straight couples for a gay venue!!... Attended a lovely birthday, the front room was roomy & the staff were beyond hospitable. The shows were terrific 😃

Great venue and staff. Fun shows. Drinks and cocktails need A LOT OF WORK. Taste awful!

My favourite bar in all of Footscray, and probably all of the Western suburbs. Always a good time, always a friendly environment. Highly recommend! Drinks are good, especially in the cocktail bar Superbia. Also just a very good-lookng venue, close to the Footscray train station as a bonus.

Easily one of the best gay bars to go to esp if you are an introvert. It is low-key and not as packed before midnight so u can have the dancefloor for urself or have a decent audible chat with someone. I came here with a straight male friend who enjoys the place as much as I do (non-scene here, also mate doesnt know im gay). Its a plus that they throw in some recent tunes like B.O.T.A, drinks are reasonably priced and I like the drag queens here, theyre not extreme. Enough said, just come

This place is seriously amazing! The drag queens here are so down to earth and oh so funny. We first went on a Friday night and the drag hostess asked if we had been before. We hadn’t, so she showed us around the place and made us feel so welcome. In between her performances she came over and chatted to our table. It was great to see a queen so ready to mingle with the crowd. Although the bands for “Live Music Fridays” weren’t our thing we hung out in the pool room and had a great time. We went back for Wednesday night Drag Bingo and boy oh boy am I glad we did! Being a gay man I’ve been to MANY drag bingo nights, but this one hands down takes the cake for comedy factor. We had a group of 8 and all of us laughed so much our cheeks hurt. The crowd here on both nights was very mixed but a friendly bunch all the same. There’s none of that snobbery you can experience at some other venues and it’s a safe environment for all. Great little bar in the west and one I can’t wait to visit again.

Love the vibe, love the variety, love the performances, love the performers, love the smiles, love the people I've met. Love not being judged. I feel so much at home. All ages, all sizes. Truly LGBTQIA+ friendly. Nobody cares in a healthy way. Truly friendly. Well priced with deals available. Please come along if you've manners and a smile. I was not asked for this review and I'm not a shareholder.

Used to be good but it’s a like a bad frat party - doesn’t seem clean and feels like an underground hideout. Lots of over intoxicated teenager’s

Came from a long distance to attend Taylor’s night on 17th Feb, came at 7 pm and waited half an hour outside with a locked door and I left, I don’t think I’ll come back again because there are many drag bars with fabulous shows in Melb that respects opening hours

"Absolutely love the Pride of Footscray! Mon and Nick serve up the most fantastic cocktails, adding a special touch to the vibrant atmosphere. The friendly ambiance makes it a go-to spot for a delightful evening. Cheers to a great place and even better drinks!"

Bouncer. So attentive to detail and really helpful, helped my mate find a place for cigs and when I couldn’t find, he later was able to let me know that he was already. Just wanted to shout out that I appreciated the good service and friendliness - it goes a long way to making us feel good and enjoy our night

So this place wouldn’t let me in with Birkenstocks on but would my sister in law in who also had Birkenstocks on. When questioning the door men they advised it’s because I’m not female however they did advise if I had women’s clothes on it would be ok so… we swapped bottoms got in then swapped back! Is it 2023? Out of all the places you’d expect to be inclusive!

Deng and Isaac were absolutely amazing on del barrios night Will be coming back to try the Friday & Saturday night here Lovvely staff & it was trans friendly 💞 Loved the venue! Thanks again to Connor, Simon Mia & everyone there

Lways a great night to be had!

Went here the other night with friends and for my first time they where super welcoming and friendly. Had a really great time and had a blast. If I lived a little closer this would be my new hang out spot. Much love...

Great chilled out environment

Great new community bar with support for Bitcoin!

We recently went to the bar for a Hen's night. We all had an absolute blast. Mat was wonderful to deal with and very accommodating. The night was awesome from the beginning to end. Bingo was a laugh with Abril and the entire staff team were all just brilliant. I would highly recommend this place for a function.

Awesome place, amazing vibe, the people were soo very friendly... the securiy man and the bar staff were all wonderful.. Been living here for almost 2 years and I can't believe its only my first time here, man I've been missing out.. it's the best of the night Footscray has to offer for sure... soo highly recommended..

Love!!! This!!! Place!!! BUT drag bingo night with amanduh wasn’t it. She wasn’t very funny, had quite repetitive jokes and also came across as quite abrupt when addressing our group in the crowd for “being late” and when we weren’t sure how to respond to her abruptness she said “it’s a 4d interaction you need to respond.” As a queer venue, they should be accomodating of neurodivergent patrons. This left a bad taste in my mouth and did not enjoy the rest of her show. I will continue going to this venue on Fridays and Saturdays when they have sickening queens performing but I will not be attending drag bingo again.

Recently came to this fabulous place for my sister's hens night for the first time and let me tell you, we all left with our cheeks and jaws so sore.... from laughing of course (you dirty minded people lol) with having the pleasure of being in Xena's company and participating in Drag Bingo my gosh you really made this an enjoyable fantastic experience. Matt was fabulously organised, accommodating and extremely helpful in assisting me with ensuring my sister's hens party went exactly to plan. The bar staff were also friendly, helpful and accommodating. Overall best night out in a long time and if you haven't been here then get your cheeks (yes this time I meant your butt lol) over at Prides asap. Cheers everyone 😁🎉🍻 Alicia

as a performer Pride holds a very special place in my heart. All the Staff (Especially Matt & Emily) have opened me with welcome arms, and I see how special this place is to me and my friends. It's well worth the trip if you're after a unique time exploring the west, and some great entertainment from some of Melbourne's most talented performers.... (like myself tehe)

Great and cosy place for Drag Bingo or a weekend sesh! Thanks for running one of the best queer venues in the West and creating a safe space for the community. Talented performers with different, inclusive events and themed nights. On top of that, the cocktails are to die for!

It has been amazing night at Pride of our Footscray nightclub for drag bingo for their 5th birthday celebration. Everyone is so kind and the atmosphere is amazing for your private functions & drag shows.

Have always previously had a fun night out. This particular night all I wanted to drink was water... the bar staff seemed like it was such an ordeal to ask for. Refused to serve a jug of water to leave at the end of the bar. The drag show was boring & time consuming - all I wanted was to dance but the drag queens 'stole' the show, & distracted the night making it boring & lack lustre. I slipped on the dance floor where someone had spilt their drink & broke my wrist. Didn't tell the staff... just left as I felt their help would be of no use since they couldn't even serve me a glass of water?! My partner says the staff were aware of this as they saw me walk other holding my wrist- smirking. Disappointing to say the least. For a supposed 'inclusive' bar I didn't get that vibe.

First time drag bingo attendee and I can’t wait to go back! I highly recommend this fab little venue! Best fun ever 😁

My partner and I attended the Wednesday Night Drag bingo and had a fantastic time! Holly Pop (@iamhollypop on insta 😉) was an amazing host, all the staff were kind and attentive, and over all had an absolute blast at our very first drag bingo! Would wholeheartedly recommend attending this bar for all/any of their events or otherwise, a very inclusive queer hangout! 😊❤️
