First Floor 393

This place is one dirty, grungey, seedy hellhole. It isn’t my cup of tea. The fact that I’ve used the term ‘cup of tea’ should drive that point home.
What I do appreciate about First Floor though is that they stay open till 5am, because I like living in a town that caters to people who are too off their faces to go home. First Floor will basically take the filthiest alcos and keep them off the streets until they’re a stomach-​pump away from bedtime.
That’s what I call social services.

First Floor is a guilty pleasure of mine… Sure, it has a slightly sleazy crowd, is open ridiculously late, and is dark and dingy but it’s just so much freakin’ fun.
First Floor only really gets going at 3am — it’s the only bar on all of Brunswick Street that is open past that time, so expect a line if you’re heading there late. Also boys, expect a wait unless you’re accompanied by a lady.
As mentioned previously, the crowd is sleazy but completely harmless. I have competed in dance-off’s at First Floor with some seriously creepy people and had the time of my life.
The drinks are reasonably priced — the same you’d expect anywhere, and the music varies from night to night. Friday’s is a retro night with a mix of the best from the 80’s and 90’s, and Saturday’s have a rotating list of DJ’s.
Occasionally, on public holidays, an 80’s hair metal band will play. GO SEE THEM. You’ll have the night of your life.
