The Laird is Melbourne's most established leather bar. This is the place to come if you want to cruise for a big daddy to cuddle up to, or if you just want to relax in front of the open fire. Alternatively, on warmer nights you can sit outside in the beer garden. Regular theme nights (e.g. combat-wear, leather, denim) draw an enthusiastic crowd of regulars. The Laird also offers backpackers' accommodation and a shop for those essential leather accessories. There is also a kitchen serving basic pub fare before 9pm. Please note--the Laird Hotel is strictly men-only.
