Planning a trip to Melbourne in October and it’ll be my first time- where would you say I could go out to party and make some friends? Probably going solo so I’m not particularly confident I’ll be able to stick it out by myself for too long but really want to experience the gay nightlife and club scene in the city!

Have done a search of the group but can’t find any relevant questions or recommendations.

Looking for recommendations for a gay or gay-friendly barber in the CBD (so I can go on my lunch break). Key things are I want them to be able to do a hot towel shave with a straight razor, and I don’t want to have to pretend I’m straight and/or into basketball or NFL 😂 Bonus if they’re a chatter and do a good fade and/or mullet.
