AI Summary

Melbourne's storied gay men's bar and boutique hotel, famous for its courtyard and karaoke.

A storied, unpretentious men's bar, equal parts pub, guesthouse and queer community hub, with pool tables, a barber station and a beer garden.

Guest rooms upstairs above the bar, an on-site barber station, pool tables, and a beer garden courtyard for smokers and quieter chats.

A genuine, long-running fixture of Melbourne's queer and gay male community with a documented 40-year history, guest books, and events spanning karaoke to fetish nights.

Drinks run on the pricier side by one account, a courtyard beer queue costing $10, but reviewers say the atmosphere and inclusivity justify it.
