About this place DT's Hotel

DT's Hotel in Richmond represents a different register from the Commercial Road strip or the Fitzroy/Collingwood scene — a relaxed, neighbourhood pub with a gay-friendly and mixed LGBTQ+ clientele that functions as a local for inner-eastern Melbourne rather than a destination for visitors specifically seeking the gay scene. Church Street Richmond is a busy commercial and residential strip with easy public transport connections to the CBD; DT's sits in the flow of that street as a pub that happens to be particularly welcoming of LGBTQ+ patrons. The atmosphere is genuinely unpretentious: beer garden, regular clientele, the specific comfort of a pub that is neither trying too hard to be cool nor dependent on novelty to sustain itself. For LGBTQ+ visitors who are staying in the eastern suburbs, who want a low-key evening rather than a big night out, or who are looking to explore Melbourne's gay scene beyond its two main clusters, DT's offers a genuine neighbourhood experience.

Zacchary Bird's Vegan Sunday Roast at the DT's will forever remain one of the most memorable moments of my life 🤍✨️

Came for a gaming event and had a great time. The food is affordable, the space is cosy and the staff are fabulous. It was much more inclusive than I was expecting.

Very rude bartender with long hair - one of the most arrogant jerks I've ever met. We were so nice and polite - not even an acknowledgement or a smile. When there's nobody in your venue, as was true on a Saturday at 10PM, be nice to your customers. In fact be nice to your customers ALWAYS. Don't know why he/she/it has such an attitude problem.
