FuBar (formerly known as Bar74)
It’s seems such a shame to not celebrate our diverse culture outside Pride, Carnival & Festival events. So we’re offering a place to hang out, drink & chat, or dance & party…whatever floats your boat.
What’s the vibe?? Be yourself! Gay, straight, trans, non-binary……dressed up to the nines, full on carnival/festival outfits or jeans, t-shirt & flip flops - it doesn’t matter. We want to see people express & be true to themselves, be free & have fun.
We have a chilled, relaxed & comfy front bar for socialising, a long main bar with bar stools for those who prefer to be in the midst of things, or have rocked up by themselves, & a dance floor for those who like to throw various shapes in their disco wellies!!
Come along & give us some feedback of what you would like to see happen in the future. We’re all ears!!
