What we’re about

Pride of Our Footscray – Queer Socials, Laughs & Love 🌈

Welcome to the official Meetup group for Pride of Our Footscray Community Bar — your go-to space for queer connection in the west!

We're here to bring LGBTQIA+ folks and allies together through fun, friendly, and fabulous events — from speed dating and social mixers 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 💘).

All identities and orientations welcome. Let's build queer joy!
