Although one of the only pubs to open as soon as Covid restrictions lifted, this place is one of…read morethe most disappointing. For a venue with a menu containing a porterhouse steak for $38 and a chicken parma for $26, you would at least expect a warm welcome and table service. Neither of these hospitality basics are on offer at The Grand Hotel in Frankston. The staff's presentation was all over the place. The uniform brief seems to be cardigans, opaque stockings and random colours are expected! Also, after half way through my meal I was told "the session is over" by one of the waitresses. She clarified that they only operate with 2 hour windows for seated meals before the next bookings will be arriving. I was not told this when I was seated so had to rush to eat my over-cooked and over-priced steak to be ushered out of the venue. Very disappointing. I will be protesting silently against this venue by never returning again. #jadereviewsall

I normally tend to stay away from the kind of place where the average age is 18 and a half and they…read morescan your drivers license upon entry - you know just in case you knife someone inside the club or change out of the unfashionable collared shirt they probably require you to wear to gain entry. But I have to say the Night Cat is slightly different. The first and major big difference is that they have live bands playing on a circular stage, usually surrounded by enthusiastic dancers. And the bands they have playing are often pretty good. When there is no live music ,they tend to have a DJ playing some pretty cheesy music - but in my view, cheesy in a good way. They often can be found spinning some old school classics that you jump up on the dance floor to have a bit of a laugh, only to realise you are having a lot of fun. So if you are looking for a boogie and prepared to admit to yourself that having fun is way better than hanging with hipsters and jazz musicians then give the Night Cat a go. What's the worst that could happen (sans Interpol being notified of the details on your drivers license)?

But when the music and band kicks in, it doesn't really matter. Everyone is dancing. It's the opposite to most places where the odd few are dancing whilst the majority remain as stone human statues. There's good areas to sit and relax as well. very interesting place to sit watch and observe people too.

Ahh there are many fond memories from nights at Circus with the crew, following in true Melbourne…read morestyle the underground club plays a very good selection of dirty electro, techno and house music. They host regular Melbourne dj's as well as bringing in some internationals from time to time for their in house events. Circus Bar has recently undergone a hige refurbishment and the results are nothing short of impressive, spread across two levels Circus has the main room downstairs complete with rich red walls, chic circular booths and of course a decent dance floor. Upstairs is the balcony that has been fitted out in a way that resembles the beach bars in Miami. The balcony has a second bar as well as another dj booth and looks out over the top of Chapel Street and Commercial Road. Circus is open Thursday through Sunday and is available for both birthdays and private functions.

Circus is where I've ended up at 4am on a Monday morning after getting knocked back from revolver…read more They are very generous on who they let in but I've only been here on there Sunday Night. Has a very weird mixed crowd of people which you never would of thought existed. The venue is very nice looking and plays the exact same music as revolver as they both have the same resident DJs. The rooftop is beautiful but they do close some of it off for functions. The only negative points of the venue are the crowd (essentially the revolver rejects, me being one of them at the time ) and gets very overcrowded being a small venue. Only time I would visit is when everything else is shut as it closes around midday Monday. On the positive super friendly staff and security, great music and nice looking venue.

Aaaahhh Mynt.

Notoriously know to be one the 'best' clubs on this side of town, it cops as much flack as it receives love. They hold a lot of events and they have improved over the years, really catering to the younger clubbing crowd. If you like house music, singlet dresses, skater bois and impossible heels then you'll love Mynt.

Please note this is for the Fridays at Mynt called POW! Fridays…read more I've been going to this place since 2008ish nearly every week and I love it. I'm not really much of a nightclub guy, but the beer garden is great and is a key feature for me. The majority of people who go there are regulars, so once you start going, you'll always see familiar faces and have lots of nice people to mix with. They have live bands every week and they play a big mix of music there, it's more of a party vibe than a nightclub vibe, so if you're really keen on typical nightclubs, the Thursday or Saturday might be better for you. Also be aware that the average age there seems to be about 19 years old. If you're significantly older than that, you may not get let in. But if that's the case, there's always Volt in Hoppers Crossing or the Park Hotel nearby.
