New Guernica

Super fun place with really amazing staff and bartenders. The lighting and visuals are next level. Theres also a cool Melbourne vibe to it with comfy chairs and booths, carpet upstairs as well as tables and stools. They've got enough bathrooms so you're not waiting long, and have an ungendered bathroom too. They have a cloak room, smokers area which does get pretty full, and an upstairs area where you can chill out a bit but also watch the dance floor below. The bar is set back from the dance floor a bit, so you can easily get a drink without getting bumped into by people dancing. They've got a variety of different artists that play, the audio is great, there's a tobacco vending machine which is handy. It really helps encapsulate what Melbourne is about, truly an iconic place. It does seem to attract more of a younger crowd 18-30, more so towards the younger demographic, so its perhaps not somewhere to go if you want a quiet drink with friends. There is also one of those scanning machines to check ID before you come in, but there are heaters so waiting in line doesn't get too cold. Great place to party, and I'd recommend bringing any friends from overseas or interstate to check it out. Super handy location for food, public transport or to catch a ride home.

The most friendly security guys you can ever meet! Beautiful people specially the handsome boys and great music but intense.

2022: Now residing on Smith Street, the expansive, multi-leveled layout and shear sound has undergone vast improvements. With the high curved ceiling in the main stage, providing ample space for reverberation, a seated balcony area and additional second upper level room for optional tunes. You're bound to find something to like, if it invloves techno. 2018: Probably the best venue in the CBD for a boogie depending on dj lineup and if you get in. Good amount of lasers, strobe and smoke. Get in early and avoid that daunting line. Kudos to the staff who run the show.

The best techno I have heard in Melbourne, the interior is really unique with the funky lights and there’re two dance floors. The drinks are also really cheap. Would definitely recommend this place for a good night out.

Didn't realize that Thursday's were free, so I ended up spending quite a bit for entry on a Friday. Despite this, the music here was the best I have heard in a club in Melbourne so far. A super great introduction to techno for me. Almost lost my Invisalign dentures and panicked but the staff were very friendly and cooperative and kept them for me! Overall, 4/5. Cannot wait to come again!

Terrible experience. Bar tenders are not friendly nor willing to serve more than one drink. Over priced entry and music is off a Spotify playlist. Would not recommend for $25 entry. Drinks at the bar are way over priced. Save your money and go to another club on smith, much better value is available

I was with a friend and we had valid tickets and pssport but still we were denied entry for no reason. The guy at the entry point refused to talk at all and asked us to leave. What is the point of selling tickets in advance if you are going to deny entry. We deserve an explanation and a refund for our tickets.

Great club with reallyyy good DJs!! Always a great atmosphere. Security at the door are sound. They could be a bit more strict inside with the weirdos trying to pick up every girls!

Venue is a fun rabbit warren with sticky carpet from it's pub origins. Staff are professional & friendly. Lacks the oddball charm of the old venue, but things might improve with time.

Always been great. But saturdays Etb was overly packed and hard to get through any of the crowds but can deal with that. Was surprised that entry was cheaper at the door opposed to the online tickets. $35 at the door, $43.
