“Two ‘cocktail glasses’? That’s like winning an Oscar for bartenders!” The Butterfly Club, tucked away on Carson Place, is more than just a pretty face with a quirky name. This place is a Melbourne institution. Since 1999, it’s been a haven for cabaret, comedy, live music, and everything in between. Imagine a stage adorned with fairy lights, old-school dolls, and enough mismatched furniture to make a grandma blush. That’s the charm of The Butterfly Club. It’s a glorious explosion of kitsch where the weird and wonderful collide. This isn’t your average theatre, folks. The Butterfly Club has seen it all, from the early days of Tim Minchin and Eddie Perfect to the raucous laughter of Big HOO-HAA! every Friday night. And speaking of laughter, they take their cocktails as seriously as their comedy, having earned the coveted “two cocktail glasses” award from The Age Good Bars Guide. But beyond the glitter and the laughs, The Butterfly Club is a champion of inclusivity, a safe space where everyone is welcome to express themselves. So, next time you’re wandering the streets of Melbourne, take a detour to Carson Place and experience the magic of The Butterfly Club. You might just discover your new favourite artist or witness a comedy legend in the making. Just be sure to arrive thirsty.
