This cavernous club is one of Melbourne's most enduring venues. In addition to hosting top touring acts like Blur and the Chemical Brothers in its hangar-like main hall, it packs in the punters with a variety of different theme nights. Thursdays are when you can wear your best flannel shirt and bang your head to Marilyn Manson. Fridays are host to Parliament where top DJs like Simon Digby, Jayse Knipe and Jason Prior play disco and garage, while Saturdays are a house night with Gods Bar. With a venue of this size there are lots of little nooks and sidebars to investigate- - and thousands of like-minded people to meet!
