UBQ

Absolutely love coming here every Thursday for Trivia with Strewth! Noticed my favourite friendly bartender James has been missing tho :( everything 5 stars, just wish James was still on Thursday’s nights - so friendly and efficient always willing to answer my silly questions about food and drink and just a good atmosphere - James and Street bring really good vibes and miss them both together

FLASH is leading the way with nightlife in Melbourne every Saturday at UBQ. We were visiting from London and the whole night blew us away. Friendly crowd, incredible DJ's and a great venue. It made me fall in love with the city.

HOSTILE KARAOKE!!!! my friend and i went here and were nothing but supportive of everyone who was on stage, cheering and dancing for EVERYONE. When it was our turn to sing, we got kicked off stage and our songs skipped because our songs “were killing the vibe”. the host only wanted to play songs they wanted to sing along to. we got kicked out for standing our ground as a man physically intimidated me off the stage, just for trying to sing SUPER GRAPHIC ULTRA MODERN GIRL!!! i expected this place to be a safe space for queer women, but i am disappointed to be shown this is just another misogynistic place where gay men are catered to, and gay women are silenced.

DO NOT GO HERE. A friend and I went for some karaoke, danced, sung along, supported everyone before us - but had every single one of our songs skipped. When I finally was able to get up to the stage, the host skipped halfway through, proceeded to question me every time I had a song on and skip songs I had requested. The host was hostile and unwelcoming, obviously having ‘favourites’ and playing songs only they wanted to sing. Left feeling unsafe, and as though this space did not support queer women who simply wanted a fun night out, NOT a theatrical performance. Very disappointed.

Turned up for an Alternative 80's night and had the bonus of a drag show. Great venue with lots of seating. Lovely outdoor balcony area (minus the smoke). Friendly staff.

Amazing night. Great staff.
