OUR POLICY:
Beers for Queers is a small, independent event and we strive to do everything in our power to make sure that everyone feels welcome. The Fox and Beers for Queers are owned and run by queer women. Beers for Queers aims to centre people whose voices aren't amplified in other spaces.
We have a zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind.
If you need assistance with problematic behaviour on the night, please notify the producer, Keely, OR ask for Clodagh or Bridie behind the bar, OR talk to security OR send a message to the Beers for Queers on socials.
We want to keep this event free and as accessible as possible.
Please understand that keeping this event free means we have a limited budget and capacity. Thanks for your understanding!
ACCESSIBILITY:
There is a coatcheck upstairs in the cooler months.
There are gender neutral toilets.
Some wheelchair users are able to attend the event, but are unfortunately restricted by narrow doorways and random little steps around the venue. It is a heritage-listed old pub. The front bar and pool table area are accessible from the street via a ramp.
The toilets in the front bar area contain an open urinal and one standard sized cubicle. The doorway is a little narrow for some wheelchairs. For further info on accessibility for wheelchair users, please call The Fox at 03 9416 4957 and ask for Bridie or Clodagh who are more than happy to assist wheelchair or other mobility -aid users in attending the event.
The performance area and dance floor can get busy and crowded especially during performance times 8:30, 9:30 and 10:30pm.
There will be a screen showing the stage in the front bar.
There are more chilled zones such as the newly renovated upstairs area and beer gardens.
The markets are held upstairs.
For more info on the venue itself, please contact the amazing staff at The Fox.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT:
We are so grateful to be putting on this party but must remember that we are dancing on stolen land. The Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people are the traditional and true owners of the land, sovereignty was never ceded. We wholeheartedly pay respect and support to any elders of the land reading this or attending the event. A treaty is needed. Always was, always will be Aboriginal land.
