So come, join the colorful atmosphere of Melbourne, and immerse yourself in a city where love knows no bounds and every step is an affirmation of who you are.

Melbourne is an easy city to do queer travel in.

People dress how they want and move in groups without much fuss, and public transport gets you home after a night out. Then catch some rays and waves at Brighton Beach for the sun lovers. This is the event of the year in Melbourne and Melbourne's gay Pride! The Laird is a men-only leather/bear hub with themed parties and a strong community feel.

Sircuit is a popular gay and bisexual hangout that throws the popular gay party event ADAM, And for those craving a steamier experience, the Wet on Wellington gay sauna in Collingwood promises a unique kind of heat!

Fitzroy, in particular, emerges as a thriving hub of nocturnal delights boasting some of the best Melbourne gay bars.

Enjoy cheap pints and RDTs while dancing the night away with award-winning DJs, and keep an eye out for ticketed parties and events that often sell out. ADAM takes over Sircuit on Mondays, hosting a ticketed nude social night with men comfortably having a drink and playing pool in the buff.

Alright, so this is technically a gay pool and sauna centre that also happens to have a bar, but if you're keen to pair your bev with a soak, then make your way to Collingwood.

Strolling down the streets adorned with mesmerizing street art, one can hold their beloved's hand with confidence or exchange a flirtatious smile with that attractive passerby. If you want fewer crowds and lower prices, aim for March after the peak events but while nights are still busy. A super friendly, cooperative and colourful bar that hosts a fabulous array of entertainment for people from all backgrounds.

Make sure to try fairy bread (white bread spread with butter and covered with multi-colored round "hundreds and thousands," the Australian term for sprinkles), the famous salt and pepper calamari plate, and Anzac biscuits that are a sweet treat for the tastebuds. Swing by for drag bingo, dance parties, drag performances, comedy shows and more, and be sure to check out the cocktail bar for a spicy Margarita or a Pornstar Martini.

Beans Bar describes itself as Melbourne's first dedicated lesbian, trans, non-binary and neurodivergent bar.
