Mary's Poppin

it's a good club, but not really comfortable having no 'female' only toilets. unisex and men, but not female. would also appreciate if the security didn't always come in and "check", forcing you to open the toilet when using it. I understand wanting to make sure everyone's okay. but i shouldn't have to open the door when i'm trying to use the toilet. it is a bit humiliating. but the staff are nice

$25 entry fee. Are you kidding me 🤷🏼‍♂️ We would have spent easily $80-100 each in there. Clearly the door queen didn’t want any over 50’s in the venue. No where online do they advertise the entry price. So door queen decides who pays what. It’s a real shame as this is the only place for LGBT people to get together to feel safe in Adelaide. We travelled a long while to get to the city, only to be made to feel unwelcome at the ONLY gay bar in Adelaide. The “put your arms up, empty your pockets, keys vapes, phones out”, "We have to do this to make you safe” from security. We were made to feel very unsafe and very unwelcome. We are the people you should be welcoming and making feel safe. Shame on you. Your staff and business model needs changing.

I came here for an event in June, and had a great time! Cute little venue- the drinks were yummy and playlist was great! Bartenders were really friendly too.

Had a great time, Curtis and Janya (so so sorry if that isn't right) were amazing bartenders and were very nice and fun. The drag queens were all beautiful and amazing and put on a great performance, whilst it wasn't the cheapest place, it was still a great experience that I will definitely do again.

We had a really disappointing experience at Mary’s Poppin. Our group of four gay men was refused entry by the security guard for a reason that made no sense. He claimed that the group in front of us had made a complaint about us, even though the only issue was that they had let their own friends jump the queue. It felt unfair and personal, and it is disheartening to see one of Adelaide’s only gay venues treat members of the community this way. A place that is meant to be inclusive should not be turning away the very people it exists for. I hope management takes this seriously, because experiences like this make the venue feel unwelcoming to the community it is supposed to serve. Follow up post their response: There was no ridicule, only acknowledgement that another group had jumped the queue. The reasons given at the door also changed. When an accusation of a friend who was sober being too drunk didn’t hold, it suddenly became a supposed complaint from the group ahead of us. Once again, a shame for the one gay venue in Adelaide to promote such intolerance.
