Pussy Cat
Don't rush in without looking up the entry fee beforehand... Some nights can get pricey, so it's good to be mentally prepared... I wish I had checked this out before my visit
I think it's better to visit on a weekday if you want a more relaxed atmosphere. Weekends can get really crowded and a bit overwhelming, trust me!
I recommend checking out the happy hour specials if you want to save some cash. Drinks are way better priced early in the evening usually around 7 PM.
The Imperial Erskineville
The Beresford
I think grabbing a booth with friends is the way to go, but if you're solo, don’t be shy to chat with people at the bar—everyone is super friendly.
Pink Flamingo
Gotham City
I recommend trying to arrive around 9 PM. That’s when the vibe starts picking up and you can catch some fun performances with less of a crowd.
If you’re on a budget, go on a weeknight for discounted entry. I discovered that Thursdays are a great time to enjoy the scene without breaking the bank
Cleos on Nile
I think it's best to ask the staff for recommendations on which performers to watch. They can point you to some real standouts that might not be on your radar.
88mph
Be prepared for a bit of a wait at the bar, especially when it’s busy. I suggest grabbing drinks during off-peak times, like before 10 PM, to save time
If you're into cocktails, don't miss out on their delicious slushies. Just make sure to check the menu early, because I found it a bit hard to find on the night I went.
Cleopatra's
I suggest checking their social media for special events or promotions before you go, because some nights have lower cover charges or unique shows. My friend and I saved a decent amount this way!
If you're planning to tip, I recommend bringing small bills. It makes things easier when you want to show appreciation without making a big deal out of it.
