Mary's Poppin

I love this place. Went there to celebrate a joint birthday with two of my friends and absolutely loved it. It was my second time there and my best friend’s first time (she loved it). Left the early morning and got to start of my 31st, I felt safe there and that is saying something since I have anxiety and trust issues. The atmosphere is wonderful especially the dancers and DJ. So worth going here!

Amazing venue with an atmosphere to impress any taste. From the selection of drinks to the entertainment to the staff to, well, everything. Always somewhere for a good time when I visit Adelaide from Perth.

$25 per person for an average kind of night, is wild. Atmosphere feeling disengaged, try to make a better show for the DJs at least. Give a focal point and/or performance, everyone is just facing an empty stage?? Give us our moneys worth !! The people of Adelaide deserve better than this

I usually love this place as it's the one place I feel safe when I go out, but security guard number 20 let in half the group I was with until he found out it was a hens party. The group of us that didn't get let in, left and went somewhere else. When the bride to be left, we tried again as it was no longer a hens party but just a group of friends who wanted to go to their favourite club, after a hens. He let all of my friends in except me because I initially said I disagreed with the hens rule, but I understood it wasn't his decision. I was left alone on the street. I would have thought that making people from the LGBTQIA community feel safe would be their priority but I guess not. Will not be coming to this club again with security guards like this. It's actually disgusting and so upsetting to separate a group of people like that. I am so deeply disappointed.
Edit: owner completely disregarded the fact that everyone else in this supposed hens party was let in, but I was not. It was no longer a hens party, get that through your head. Also if it was still treated as such, why was the rest of the group allowed in? No accountability or repercussion for the problematic security guards you have at the door, where they have been badly reviewed multiple times. The security guards pick and choose who they allow in, for somewhere that is meant to be so inclusive, this club is the only club that I have ever been denied entry to. Not inclusive AT ALL.

This place could be so much more, but unfortunately it feels less like an open, accepting and diverse space to cultivate queer joy, and more like you've walked into someone's sweet 16th party truthfully. Can you please play some house music and dance pop from the 80s and the 90s, because why - why are you a queer club and you're playing Taylor Swift on the dance floor, if only to capitulate to the taste of basic white people in their 20s and to alienate everyone else?
