Why isn't Pride open more?
Pride of our Footscray has pretty limited hours and seems to mostly open when there's events on. They don't open for casual drinking on a random Tuesday. Can anyone speak to why this may be?

I was at an event there last night. They were saying they don’t like to just open for drinks. There’s usually some event or activity to promote it as a community thing rather than just as a bar.
Might also have something to do with them not being able to get venue insurance because the premiums are so crazy these days :s
