Ly and I are following girls outside The Bedroom nightclub, being the single men that we are.
Somehow with all the walking, we ended up outside Melbas.. we were still full of energy, so here we
go!
Melbas Nightclub
Assessment Time: 02:40am-04:30am
Website:
Address:
Door Policy / Dress Code: Casual OK
Cover Charge / Entry Fee: $10. Free if a guestlist was organised
Guestlist:
Inside: Two levels. Ground has lengthy bar in the middle. Stools / tables everywhere. an outdooe
seating area. Out the back is a dancefloor. Upstairs is more cosy. VIP area at back for private
functions?, 3 large podiums at the front dance area. 2 Poles to dance with. I can’t think of any
place in Sydney that has poles! (The retro might have some but I can’t recall). Long bar on the side
wall
Bar: Short to no lines, thanks to the huge bar. Pricing unknown as we scored free drinks all night.
Music: Downstairs is Retro / Classic music, while upstairs is primarily house but the occasional
rnb/pop mashup as well.
Crowd: Dominantly White Aussie. I think me and Ly were the only asians here. No problem, everone was
friendly here. People of all ages were about. It does remind me of The Retro Bristol Arms back in
Sydney, but in a cooler manner here.

Bypassing the Entry Fee:
Girl: “$10”.
That was enough for me and Ly to not enter Melbas. It was almost 3am already.
We walked out and bumped into a man:
Man: “Hey, do you want free entry into Melbas?”
Us: “sure!”
Man: “Here, put these on”
He gave us a MELBAS wristband each, and an extra two just because he didn’t need them. Surely there
was a catch…
Man: “There’s no catch. Go upstairs and these wristbands will give you access to the bar tab all
night”
SOMETHING IS WRONG, but how could we refuse so many free things?
Walk up to the same girl, but this time we showed her our new wristbands
Girl: “Oh that’s strange…
Me: (gulps)
Girl: “… you haven’t got stamps! Let me stamp you”. Wow.
So we got stamped in for free!
Trying to get free drinks
We had our new wristbands, which gave us the power. So we marched upstairs to the bar and ordered
some drinks.
Girl: “That’ll be $20”
So we showed her our wristbands
Girl: “Ill have to check with the manager”
She walked to the manager. He looked at us, and we madly shook our wristbands. We’re just tourists!!
Girl: “Manager says ok”
Yes! We had access to the bar tab!! So we plied ourselves with free drinks all night, thanks to a
stranger on the street.
The VERY FIRST video of me dancing!
Dear Reader – you are about to witness the very first video of me dancing at a club. After 2 years
of blogging, I suppose it is about time a video was made. Watch as I pick up two girls through the
sheer power of DANCE:
Ok, ok… so that was pretty embarassing. Though, dancing with me is an HONOUR, why don’t girls
understand this?
Ly and I are visitng the Gold Coast. We just left The Bedroom nightclub, and we are following girls, being the single men that we are. Somehow, we ended up outside Melbas.. so here we go!
