Poof Doof

I definitely see myself coming back, or though it was a spot I decided to come to on a whim after another venue was closing I felt openly invited and felt at home.

The staff are amazing and keep the party going while being quick and friendly, the price of drinks are quite standard but pretty good for a club and overall I would encourage anyone no matter the way you identify to come to have a great time.

This is a must experience no gay man wants to miss. The toilets have a unique design where there are two entrances, one leading into the basin area and another leads straight into the cubicle area, by which there are three private cubicles. This design allows for the surprise guest to enter in the hope of securing some action.

Best Gay Nightclub if you’re wanting to dance until 6am. Main floor bar is more of a house techno vibe. Upstairs bar is where you can listen to some Cher and Carly Jepson. High cover charge but that’s what’s expected on Chapel. Conveniently located next door to Maccas. 10/10 recommend checking this spot out.

STAFF STEAL YOUR DRINKS SO YOU'LL BUY MORE.

$41 for 3 drinks; is that normal? I think NOT.
Also a $20 covercharge.

And I told them I was leaving them a bad review, when they wouldn't replace my drink, after I brought it up.

I had two drinks stolen; the first was near empty, but the second was half-full - and there's no mistake about it. If it's not in your hand, they'll take it.

I ended up standing around with my hand *over* my drink so it wouldn't get stolen, and had it nested right up against my coat and bag.
I was pretending to have a good time, because it was my friend's birthday, so I was dancing on the spot, and took my hand off my drink for 10 seconds and it was gone.

I won't ever go back; it totally killed my vibe.

Also, too many straight guys were hitting on me for a gay club; lots of leering, too.

HYPED UP FOR? NOT MUCH
A bar that does exceptional at marketing itself and has a great name for itself, so the expectations might have been a little high.but was highly let down.
Not entirely sure what all the fuss is about for this place. Drinks are fairly expensive, music is Trance/EDM ish, or it was on the evening I visited. Which left huge gaps on the dancefloor.
With the stamp coming in the door a ploy I assume stating full, to venture inside and pay a cover charge (which usually I'm totally ok with) for only to find that the place is far from full was a bit disappointing to say the least.

Seems like it could be a great bar and the spaces they have are great but very underutilized it seemed.
But for the cost to enter for disappointing music and overpriced drinks, it's safe to say I'm glad I experienced the bar and fulfilled my intrigue in what the hype is all about. But it is highly unlikely I will make a return anytime soon.

Security staff were extremely unprofessional and rude. I was told to "stand behind the Mexican border". There is no need for such racism at what should be an accepting venue.

Incredibly poorly managed and organised for a venue that charges Melbourne’s highest drink prices. ATM broken and the 60 minute queue for the cloak room is still cash only like it’s 1998.

Poor service: after having guest list confirmed with management, upon arrival was rejected. After a travel time of 2 hours (usually 30 mins) was extremely disappointed with the outcome

Piss-poor PR. "Sorry we got caught", not sorry we espoused such hideous, damaging values.

Im a gay male looking for gay venues in and close to city.im sad to only find 3 venues for gay people.odd

For a place that prides itself on equality this venue is far from it. They refused to let my partner in who has a disability because she was seen as a “liability”.

Never again will I be attending. Do not recommend to anyone
