Xchange Melbourne

The Xchange opened as an ALL GUYS bar on October 1, 1986. Back then there was a need, south of the Yarra river*, for a Gay bar 7 nights a week.
The venue opened with 2 Bars & a Restaurant with a sophisticated large Screen Video entertainment system with in-house Music\Video productions, controlled by our regular House DJ/VJ's, that have remained a unique feature of the Xchange right up to today. The hotel bar atmosphere has welcomed many a traveller and is always frequented from noon daily right through to close. There is a group of loyal regulars who call the Xchange home and have been coming to the bar since 1986. Kevin Attwood ( co-owner with John Nolan )says that the Bar is the heart of the Xchange."The late night crowds and entertainment may change over time, but warm & friendly bar service is our top priority every day".
