Gay bars, restaurants and bars

Smith street forms the boundary between Fitzroy and Collingwood and is a major nightlife and dining precinct - so much so that it topped Timeout’s Coolest Streets in the World list in 2021. The street gets quite rowdy late at night so expect to see crowds lined up to get into one of the many drinking venues or for a late night kebab. Huge rainbows painted on the sidewalks are a sign of the queer significance of the area - some of the most popular gay bars in the city are located here including Sircuit, Molly’s, UBQ and The 86.
