Mary's Poppin

Inclusive environment everyone looks out for each other the staff and security are friendly.

The queens are really lovely to talk to and the numbers are exciting to watch. The only down side is the floor is sticky but you would expect that for a club.

The security doesnt know how to determine a 33 year old guy vs.an 18 year old. They needed an ID apparently coz “asians” look young. Freaking racists.i have been in the club 3 times and this was the first time ive been asked an ID. What a waste of saturday night. I hope other clubs in Adelaide actually open.

4 stars because of the brilliant performance of the drag queens but not 5 stars because there where people having sex on the couches in front of everyone and nothing was done about it. The toilets also where packed full of people having sex so you couldn’t use the bathroom until they where done: ’ (.

Loved the music, performances, costumes and the vibe though (although be warned, the floor is super sticky which is common in clubs).

The bouncers where absolutely brilliant at their job, myself and my sister where groped by a male (also common at clubs, not just this one) and when we told the bouncers they removed him from the venue which is highly appreciated! Will definitely be coming back if they’ll have us again.

Absolutely brilliant! Thank you so much!

First time there. Knowing the place from Drag Shows always being curious to visit it. Nice spot with a threatrical atmosphere. Probably not the best weekend to visit it since it was pretty quiet. Definitely a nice venue

Denied entry without reason. Upon asking the reason they said “just no”.

Spoke to multiple staff all of which were extremely rude.

Do not suggest this place.

Not inclusive or friendly.

Edit: the “pretty awful things” the owner stated I said is referring to what I said post being discriminated against in a supposedly inclusive nightclub.

Came here from sydney for the Trixie Mattel show… I know its not Sydney… but the earlier DJ needs to pick his crowd… it is literally 85%females… and he has music That should be playing at 3 am in The morning when people don’t care. 90%of the people are not dancing before the show. He needs to warm them up…

His music has the words, it’s just to heavy and basey.

It’s 10pm dude

We had a great time, it was crowded and lively. The only downside was that the entrance fee was "CASH ONLY" and not many people were aware of this. Although there was an ATM right in front of the entrance, it did not work with all cards. We had to go to the nearest bank to withdraw cash and then come back and line up again. Despite this inconvenience, it was still a great entertainment to visit while in Adelaide.

I went to the NYE party (with Vanjie and Kane Enable, Alison Xpress and Ms Furr), it was amazing! The DJ Stacy Queen was sliving, the songs were so well selected! Loved it! We will definitely be back!

This is a safe space for me. I really like going. I thought at 32 I was too old to kinda get back out there but this place is so accepting. Thanks guys!

Normally we love this place! It's the only club I go to when in Adelaide.haven't even been to many others because this is a go-to! But last night they asked us for $5 to store our coats while we danced. It was the first time they've ever asked for money for that, and to be really honest it is a big turn off. We pay our entry fee and for our drinks and now they want to charge us to store our coats? Like I said, it must be new because I've never paid for that before. I really want them to know that our group didn't appreciate that aspect.

Very nice club drag queens are great one of the only places I feel comfortable being myself.

99% of the time I absolutely love this place, feel so free and safe here but tonight my friend was pushed over and then she was kicked out for being “drunk” by security as they didn’t see her get pushed but we hadn’t ordered a drink within hours so I’m a little disappointed in tonight’s experience

This was the first time coming. I won't come back. Pros: the Queens were beautiful and the host was lovely to talk to. It was nice to get out and dance and let loose. Cons: The vibe was OK. The music took about an hour to fit the 90's theme. The floor was so sticky, my shoe kept falling off. I think what was the worst, was it took 2 hours after the doors were opened to have the drag show. When the show began, it only lasted 3 songs before they wrapped up (with more shows to follow at 12 and 1). The songs selected during the show were all slow, sad, and melancholy. So many good, upbeat songs that would have been so much better.

Because I was a hens party I was rejected. They tried to justify that because I had a few people I wouldn’t be allowed. HOWEVER! Had I been a 21st or other I would have been allowed.

Didn't enjoy the quality of the drinks, nor the music. $20 entry charge and only taking cash. But a fun place if your a young female.

Great service, great staff, great venue, tried to have a night off on the first night of my holiday with my mum, we were there all of half an hour and instead I ended up clearing heaps of cups, glasses and empty bottles of tables and around the venue to try make something of the night.

Venue policy about ankle straps on shoes needs to be changed. It was extremely disappointing to have lined up for ages only to be rudely denied at the door because of the shoes my friend was wearing. I have been to plenty of bars and clubs around Adelaide (some of them having more than one level too) and none of them had the same requirement. We drank and had fun elsewhere. Not an issue so much for myself but as an ‘inclusive’ place, people should be able to wear what they like.

Edit: If you cared at all about the safety and well-being of people, your staff would politely deny entry instead of being extremely rude and unpleasant towards people who have done nothing wrong. As one of the very few LGBTQIA+ friendly venues in Adelaide, maybe you should make some changes (judging by a lot of the other 1 star reviews too). X

NOT A GREAT EXPERIENCE.we entered about an hour to close and they dindt tell us that they we going t o decide to close earlier than what they normally do.but made sure we paid the 20 bucks entry each in cash.and then the manager mentioned that it was hard times because of covid and closing times were unplanned.

Also one of the waiters literally wanted to kick us out of the pace for trying to. Reach out to the dj to ask for a son (we didn't even got any close. The dj probably didn't realised what we were up to.) but this guy seemed infuriated and firely telling us off. Still haven't understand why as the bar was completely empty ‍️. Anyway the manager did apologise for this but still. Was a

Always a great night out with fabulous shows and very cool music. We always feel so welcome at Mary’s

I am vaccinated and like your venue, but unfortunately I will not be returning due to your new policy in banning the unvaxed. Please stop encouraging discrimination and segregation, there is no place for it in Australia.

Reply to the owners comment below: There is no rule that bans certain members of society from attending venues and there hasn't been since the 40s - Where are you getting this information from? This is a mandate that YOUR business has CHOSEN to implement - but that is your choice. Please don't try to justify your decision by spreading misinformation - there are PLENTY of other venues in SA which are not discriminatory and welcome everyone. Enjoy your decline:)
