Dean is back hosting SING STUD: The ultimate blokeoke tonight.
What will you sing?

Gather ye of leather and fur,
of lycra, denim, chaps and spurs,
to a place where men were born this way,
where karaoke meets the gay.

Where heart-felt ballads reign supreme,
and disco hits are sung by queens,
of course, the vibe is always blokey,
sometimes there’s even stripper-oke.

So if exhibition's in your blood,
or voyeurism - come support a bud,
the beer is cheap, the men are too,
so come along, sing a tune or two.​

Free every Friday
Doors open at 6pm
Song Rego from 7:30pm
SING STUD from 8pm

Fun all night long.
See you there!
