About us
Welcome to the official Meetup group for Pride of Our Footscray Community Bar - your go-to space for queer connection in the west!
We bring LGBTQIA+ folks and allies together through fun, friendly, and fabulous events - from drag bingo and speed dating to movie nights, comedy shows, and everything in between. Whether you're new to the community, new to Melbourne, or just looking to meet more queer legends, this is the place for you.
Come for the laughs, stay for the vibes, and leave with new friends (or maybe something more 💘).
Important note: Our Meetup hosts may not always be physically present at the event. When you arrive, please head upstairs and speak to our bar staff - they’ll be happy to help you get settled. If you need assistance, feel free to call the venue using the number listed on our website or Google Maps.
All identities and orientations welcome. Let’s build queer joy! 🌈
