Been to this place twice and walked in and straight back out again both times. Luckily the first time myself and a group of friends only had to wait in line for 10 minutes before we got in but once up the stairs you are greeted with a tiny room crammed full of people standing elbow to elbow. There was no way we were even going to attempt to fight our way through to get to the bar. I have never seen a place so chaotic in all my life. I mean seriously if one was able to get to the bar I can't even imagine being able to take a drink from the glass without the risk of someone elbowing the glass into ones teeth. That and the fact that so many people are crammed into such a small room makes it an extremely dangerous venue to visit in my opinion. If there was a fire or even a brawl I shudder to think what could happen. I just hope there are measures in place so people can escape to safety if need be rather than the same way they came in. I am really at a loss to understand how the venue got passed by law to operate in such a way. The venue was no different the second time my friends and I decided to visit hoping that some kind of order had been implimented so that people could get to the bar at least. No such luck. Although there was no line up so we got straight in. It was also a Saturday night too so perhaps people are realising that there are much better and safer venues to visit. I also agree with another reviewer in that the decor is quite hideous in the extreme. I believe the reviewer said it looked like some seedy gay bar from the 1980s and whilst I do agree with him I have to say my first impression was of a brothel from the 1980s era. The establishment is still relatively new but the trouble is it's decor will always look outdated unless they actually hire someone that has some understanding of interior design. The interior of my dog's kennel looks more inviting. We will never return. it's to Oz we go where patrons have respect for others and keep the bar area clear and there is plenty of room without the risk of one having their teeth damaged by wandering elbows and wigs ruined by beer swigging bogan's.

So on Saturday night after a friends 30th birthday party, a group of us (18 roughly), went to Mary Poppins to continue our night and further celebrate. We were all dressed in pink, as that was the theme and we lined up around 11:30pm. We were maybe in the line for 5mins when security came and approached us. They asked us what our large group were doing in the line and if we were a hens night group (because those are banned given it’s a queer space). We explained that we just came from a birthday party and we're all wearing pink because the theme was Barbie/Pink. Security then go back inside Mary Poppins, then not long after come out and tell us that management have decided to refuse us entry because our group was “too large”. We questioned the decision, asked them what they define as a large group, and basically were told not tonight and if we disagree with the decision that we should email management to complain. Mind you just as we lined up, another group of people (roughly 15 people) lined up also, and after we were refused entry, we watched that exact same group of 15 people gain entry. Not to mention the multiple other groups who were in line but fortunately for them didn’t have black skin or “wore pink”, that was the excuse we recieved. We were all Aboriginal people and as you can imagine, it was a pretty horrible scenario. I don't want to make assumptions, but management obviously were monitoring us via security cameras and made a decision within 5 minutes. Mary Poppins have been problematic in the past, yet we still go there because it is supposedly a safe space for 'all' LGBTQIA+ people, but Saturday was literally the final straw. It is also Feast Festival at the moment, basically Pride Month for South Australia, and Mary Poppins is really practising inclusion by excluding a group of POC and using the guise of “you’re all wearing pink” as the excuse. If you can let in other groups of people but not the group who happen to be POC then you’re racist and you’re establishment is implicit in excluding POC and First Nations peoples. Disgusting.

FIVE stars go to the drag performers, who were AMAZING. Zero stars to the way this place is run, thanks to their polished (i'm being very sarcastic) barman, Scott, for his behaviour behind the bar. If you would like to go out and have a lovely night with your friends, meet new people and be served by REAL bartenders, please save your time and hard earned money, and avoid this establishment, which actually charges you for the honour of lining up only to stand at a noisy, overcrowded bar, where all the staff are mucking around, not serving the customers. I'd go to Oz any day after my experience here. My opinion? Avoid this place, you'll have a better time at home or at ANY other bar on rundle street. *edit* Not a fake review sadly, very real experience and a very disappointing (passive aggressive) response from this establishment. Good luck with this approach. VERY off putting!!!

  • Cringeworthy Simmer

Amazing club with multiple rooms, and wonderful performers, sometimes from interstate and overseas. Well staffed with good service, mary’s is a solid place for a night out. The DJ’s even take requests at times. My only qualm with this venue is that i have found some of the other patrons can be standoffish and rude.(typical for a gay club) Sometimes there is straight people who treat it like it’s a zoo, so it’s best to go with a big group for a great night out! You can tell the owners are doing the best to reduce these kinds of experiences though. But sometimes it’s out of their control as society still has a long way to go. If you’re straight/cis and considering going here, please don’t stare and treat visibly queer and trans people as if they’re some commodity. It’s quiet alienating! Respect the space before you come and visit, it’s for everyone under the queer umbrella.

  • Hayley Paige

4 stars because of the brilliant performance of the drag queens but not 5 stars because there where people having sex on the couches in front of everyone and nothing was done about it. The toilets also where packed full of people having sex so you couldn’t use the bathroom until they where done :’(. Loved the music, performances, costumes and the vibe though (although be warned, the floor is super sticky which is common in clubs). The bouncers where absolutely brilliant at their job, myself and my sister where groped by a male (also common at clubs, not just this one) and when we told the bouncers they removed him from the venue which is highly appreciated! Will definitely be coming back if they’ll have us again. Absolutely brilliant! Thank you so much!

  • Laura Patino

NOT A GREAT EXPERIENCE... we entered about an hour to close and they dindt tell us that they we going t o decide to close earlier than what they normally do.... but made sure we paid the 20 bucks entry each in cash... and then the manager mentioned that it was hard times because of covid and closing times were unplanned.. Also one of the waiters literally wanted to kick us out of the pace for trying to. Reach out to the dj to ask for a son (we didn't even got any close... The dj probably didn't realised what we were up to...) but this guy seemed infuriated and firely telling us off. Still haven't understand why as the bar was completely empty ‍♀️... . Anyway the manager did apologise for this but still... Was a

  • Brooklyn Morcom

Love this place! Music, drag performers, staff, drinks and vibes are always on point. Drinks are great and inventive. Love the new renovations as well. Only thing I think needs improving is letting patrons know when there will be an entry cost for the night on social media. I've been here many times when entry is free before 10 but sometimes there's a fee at the door before 10 (which is fine) when queens aren't performing/ and when there isn't a major event happening which would otherwise state the entry cost. Just some more clarification on Facebook events about entry costs would be appreciated. Love the Mary's team so much, you're the only club I visit on nights out <3

  • Sally Hron

This was the first time coming. I won't come back. Pros: the Queens were beautiful and the host was lovely to talk to. It was nice to get out and dance and let loose. Cons: The vibe was OK. The music took about an hour to fit the 90's theme. The floor was so sticky, my shoe kept falling off. I think what was the worst, was it took 2 hours after the doors were opened to have the drag show. When the show began, it only lasted 3 songs before they wrapped up (with more shows to follow at 12 and 1). The songs selected during the show were all slow, sad, and melancholy. So many good, upbeat songs that would have been so much better.

  • Alec Leahne (Satans Cat)

Went with my boyfriend. Asked how much the door entry was to the bouncer and my boyfriend and I politely declined after being told $15. Your ignorant bouncer had the audacity to call us "cheap". To be blunt I'm a clinician, no offence to your bouncer but I earn more than him. My boyfriend and I decided that Mary's wasn't worth $15 tonight given that cost didn't even include drinks and the club vibe was uneventful/empty. To reiterate this was not your door staff that actually handle the transactions, this was the bouncer out front of the club. I'm a regular at Mary's but this has definitely lowered my chances of coming back.

  • BillyJoe Smart

Waited 40 min in line (lucky we got there when we did because while waiting the line accumulated and went to the end of the street), then got inside and waited another 15 min in the next line. This club has ticked every box of what not to do when running a club. Finally got upstairs and the music was average two shotty drag queens preformed. Spent maybe 15min upstairs and my friends and I knew as the drag queens were doing their thing we had to get out and go. Spend your $10 to get in at Brunellis across the road. Less hassle and you’re treated with respect

  • Cody Scholes

Normally we love this place! It's the only club I go to when in Adelaide.. haven't even been to many others because this is a go-to! But last night they asked us for $5 to store our coats while we danced... It was the first time they've ever asked for money for that, and to be really honest it is a big turn off... We pay our entry fee and for our drinks and now they want to charge us to store our coats? Like I said, it must be new because I've never paid for that before. I really want them to know that our group didn't appreciate that aspect.

  • A.R. Wilkenfeld

Just wanted to give a shoutout to the staff at Mary’s after my visit tonight. My dad had his bar mitzvah in this building back when it was a synagogue in the ‘60s, so he asked me to take some photos while I was visiting Adelaide. A very kind staff member allowed me to take some photos of the main hall in spite of it being closed on the evening I visited, and as I was leaving I had a wonderful chat with Tom the bouncer about the building’s history. Caught an excellent drag show as well. Thanks Mary’s!

  • Kaitlyn

Adore this place, its my go to club/bar option and I don't think it can be beat for me. Gorgeous club, fits both a chill and dance vibe with all the different areas around the place. Personally I go there to dance mostly with plenty of chill drinking breaks in the balcony/seated areas without being too far from the dance floors. Obviously very LGBTQIA+ friendly (I met my fiance there so very personally can speak to that haha ). Love the cocktail and drink selection, they always have my go to bourbon or long Island options

  • Melissa Dougherty

I went for the first time on Friday night. I had an absolute ball. I Honestly don't go ever go out much these days as a single mum and was pushed to come out. So glad I did and that it was Mary's. I'll definitely be back. I felt safe to dance and sing my night away. I danced with beautiful strangers and watched the stunning ladies do Thier thing on the stage. All stunning and so talented. Only negative was that my gin and tonic didn't taste like gin...just tonic. But hey I still had a ball.

  • Jasmine Vine

Honestly so disappointed with Mary's. They've consistently demonstrated that they don't care at all about the LGBTIQ community, all they care about is money. Instead of supporting, working with and uplifting their community, all they do is try to "one up" anyone else trying to make a positive difference by using the money they have to try and crush the competition. They REEK of desperation, and will step on anyone if it means they get an extra buck in their account. Absolutely disgusting.

  • TheTynManFromOz 68

Astounding night out. The drag show (Dragapalozza) was entertaining, the drinks were flowing, and the crowd was amazing. Met a lot of really great people, and I will definitely be returning... Hell, I hate people, but this place was so comfortable I want to return and make it a regular spot. No drama, no judgement, no problem... Thank you to the entertainers and staff for making it a truly memorable experience. I plan on coming back regularly.

  • Chloe Cameron

Thank you Mary's for helping me celebrate a very exciting milestone. I honestly get one drink in me and instantly want to go to Mary's, it never disappoints. Even with COVID restrictions on dancing, mingling, etc, the atmosphere is fantastic. It's the only place in town I'd still pay entry for without being able to dance - because it's still so much fun! The cocktails are delicious, the drag shows are entertaining, and we had a blast

  • Misia Julia

I was there on a Friday night and it was ever so quiet. Not the music obviously.. But it seemed a quieter than usual space. This could have been due to the holidays. Service ppl always seem friendly and there are lots of places to sit or stand. It is still disgusting to me that the carpet and floor are always sticky and gluey. Which is understandable in a club however, why not change flooring so that it can be cleaned sometimes.

  • Carlos Messina

Drags, playlist a d staff amazing BUT the sound was absolutely horrible, not the music but the settings. The person responsible to ajust bass needs to recalibrate the acoustic. Also the carpet is disgusting, definitely needs a deep cleaning or be replaced. Wasted money for the entry as 30min of that was enough. Upstairs smelled like dog wet after raining When I come back next time will change the review if gets better

  • Jimmy Burnett

Decent vibe at this place. But they’re in Adelaide and charging $15 to get in and then $10 for basic spirits. Please get with the program. The drag performances are fairly static miming shows from the queens. They don’t dance; they sway and mime. I mean, if you live in Elizabeth then this place will probably help you discover you’re gay. Otherwise you’re better off saving up and spending the weekend in Melbourne or Sydney.

  • S S

LOVE this place!!! :D I'd get there early if you want to enjoy the cocktail bar/lounge vibe. The decor is D'LUXXX and OTT in all the right ways. Fun and definitely unpretentious. There really isn't a comparison in Adelaide. Once the show's start the place definitely starts poppin'... right up til 3AM. Try the Der Prinz or the Schlong, and of course swing around the stripper pole so us other patrons can enjoy the view ;D

  • David Sin

As the only LGBTQI night club in town be prepared for long waits to get in, at the bar and to use the toilets on a Saturday night. Over priced drinks all round. The drag shows are mediocre with each Queen lip-syncing their own thing, rather than producing a thought-out choreographed routine. The fact that so many people are squashed into such a confined space scares me! Would be a total nightmare if a fire broke out!

  • Frankie Tseu

We had a great time, it was crowded and lively. The only downside was that the entrance fee was "CASH ONLY" and not many people were aware of this. Although there was an ATM right in front of the entrance, it did not work with all cards. We had to go to the nearest bank to withdraw cash and then come back and line up again. Despite this inconvenience, it was still a great entertainment to visit while in Adelaide.

  • Jahmayne Alderson

My friend and I asked the DJ to play “Roulette” by Katy Perry (one of her best songs) and he says “I don’t play random songs,” yet he’s played “jewels and drugs” before by lady Gaga (Her literal worst song)! He’s so biased and had played almost the entire Artpop album? Yet barely plays Katy Perry (who has way more #1 hits than Gaga ) and it’s quite childish and pathetic. It’s all effect minus this current DJ.

  • Steve Leib

They only take cash for their cover charge of $20, with a conveniently placed ATM next to the front counter (with a $2+ fee). Businesses are all moving away from cash as a health and safety precaution for covid-19. Taking credit cards at the door would be a great way for this business to show that their customers' wellbeing is worth more than ATM commissions/credit card fee processing savings.

  • Erivan

This eccentric spot in the heart of the East End of Adelaide is a push against the trend of hip small bars. Cocktails are twists on once-cool classics like the Pina Colada and dancing is encouraged. Insisted on, even. You won’t find any Tiesto or Darude here, just sweet-like-candy ’80s pop hits to have you boppin’ into the wee hours. Mary’s is open every Friday & Saturday nights from 8pm.

  • Andrew

Mary's was definitely a poppin when we graced the floor last Friday and Saturday nights. Given that Adelaide's LGBTQI+ scene has dwindled in recent years, it was great to see such a brilliant investment in the sole remaining venue in this city. With its chilled bar downstairs and upstairs with its DJ's and Drag Queens, it made two of our nights out in Adelaide extremely enjoyable.

  • Brett Westbury

Came here from sydney for the Trixie Mattel show… I know its not Sydney… but the earlier DJ needs to pick his crowd… it is literally 85%females… and he has music That should be playing at 3 am in The morning when people don’t care. 90%of the people are not dancing before the show. He needs to warm them up… His music has the words, it’s just to heavy and basey. It’s 10pm dude

  • Sasha Diacono

It was my first time ever at Mary's Poppin and It was amazing ! That blow my mind! Everything was perfect : people, drinks,music, the show of the drag queen, the staff! What a feeling of dancing without fear that someone bother you, mostly for a girl ! Everyone is very nice, only here for fun! Thank you Mary's poppin for that amazing moment ! I LOVE YOU !

  • Tim Kindlen

was my first time going to a night club, and I loved it. the staff were great and friendly, the vibes and music was amazing, and the drag performers were incredible. I also loved that even though I was dressed up in cosplay, no one was giving me weird looks or anything-

Denied entry because we had a bride sash on. Told them we'd remove the sash, and that we just wanted to come in for a few drinks and a dance. And was told to leave. This is discrimination for a place that is meant to be welcoming. We didn't want any special treatment, and offered to remove all aspects of a hens party. I'm absolutely disgusted with this.

  • Fran Rauseo

I had my purse stolen from my bag and now the thief is trying to steal my identity by opening accounts and credit cards in my name. Beware of theft at this club I also know of someone else who had their wallet stolen here also, it seems to be a common occurrence at this venue which is a shame because it has great reviews and and has potential otherwise.

  • Joey R

I love Mary’s but it seems like this place has attracted more straight people than queer after the past few months. Not that it’s Mary’s fault but I’ve been caught in situations where groups of them would push into you and give dirty looks. Very dehumanizing experiences.

Denied entry without reason. Upon asking the reason they said “just no”. Spoke to multiple staff all of which were extremely rude. Do not suggest this place. Not inclusive or friendly. Edit: the “pretty awful things” the owner stated I said is referring to what I said post being discriminated against in a supposedly inclusive nightclub.

  • Scott w

Great music, and performers, but there was this loser behind the bar named Scott, he thought he was the star poured me a a drink after I paid then drunk it. Then proceeded to sing and dance. If he done his job more people would have had drinks and the place would have been better. If i see this unit in public.....

  • Chris Tatlonghari

The security doesnt know how to determine a 33 year old guy vs. an 18 year old. They needed an ID apparently coz “asians” look young. Freaking racists. i have been in the club 3 times and this was the first time ive been asked an ID. What a waste of saturday night. I hope other clubs in Adelaide actually open.

  • Diane Sinclair

  • Ayesha Telfer

99% of the time I absolutely love this place, feel so free and safe here but tonight my friend was pushed over and then she was kicked out for being “drunk” by security as they didn’t see her get pushed but we hadn’t ordered a drink within hours so I’m a little disappointed in tonight’s experience

  • Cluless Valkyrie

Great place & amazing people. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience & I'd definitely go back again. My one negative/piece of advice is DO NOT wear nice shoes to this venue. The floor is so filthy you literally stick to it. My brand new sparkly pink shoes got absolutely trashed on the bottom. …

  • S

Great service, great staff, great venue, tried to have a night off on the first night of my holiday with my mum, we were there all of half an hour and instead I ended up clearing heaps of cups, glasses and empty bottles of tables and around the venue to try make something of the night.

  • Daryle Collins

Twinks Bar, allways go with freinds if your a little older. I don't understand the entertainment. As it's the only so called Gay dancing venue it's better than nothing. At least you can song your mate in safe surrounding... And we did, it was fabulous. Thanks Mary's for being there

  • Owen

Fantastic place with really lovely staff, the best cocktails in Adelaide. Quality drag queens who can put on a show. All the DJ's are really good at what they do and they all play great music and there's hardly a dull moment with the music. Plenty of unreserved places to sit as well.

  • Olivia M

I like this place. I love the queens, the music is fantastic, the drinks are decently priced and bar staff are attentive. I feel really safe there, it's probably the only place I feel I can kiss my gf in public lol. The place itself to me is really groovy looking. I love it!

  • Damian Vermilion

Was the designated driver, doesn't have any alcohol in system and was turned away at the door for being intoxicated? Sense made? None! Might want to rethink who you have on door security, he cost you quite a large group of the community and allies on Saturday. Well done :)

Tacky and overpriced. The decor and vibe perpetuates a stale homosexual persona thats stuck in the 80s. If you are looking for a relaxed venue to meet and talk and to people.. this isn't it. The venue needs an overhaul and so do the staff.

I found the wait times to get into this venue are not amazing. Additionally, there is no EFTPOS at entry, and finally the music isnt great. If youre a gay guy, you will mainly find young girls there and its disappointing.

Friendly and welcoming staff and clientele and atmosphere in general. A fun place for gender-bending entertainment and acceptance, although overwhelmingly a 'millennial' generation venue.

Because I was a hens party I was rejected. They tried to justify that because I had a few people I wouldn’t be allowed. HOWEVER! Had I been a 21st or other I would have been allowed.

This place is great. It's got a nice warm vibe and everyone here just wants to relax and enjoy themselves. It's such a welcoming nightclub. To get upstairs you need to grab a ticket.

The venue itself is fine - but don't understand why they don't take EFTPOS for entry. Also free entry before a certain time (consistent with other clubs) would be nice.

It is supposed to be an LGBT+ club. You can find more straight people than any club in Adelaide. sadly the only option in town. Entry is overpriced.

Fabulous atmosphere and music choices, good drinks - poor ATM machine quality. Great place to bring friends, dates and dance!!

  • Sammy Annie

So much fun. A place where all ages and all types are accepted. Im 37vand feel out of place at alot of clubs but not this one.

It’s changed since I was there a few years ago but entry is $20, they only take cash at the door and it is a lot of fun

Pay $10 to wait in some crummy bar until your “ticket” gets called.... Dishonest, Vibe killer - there’s better around.

  • James Umpherston

Every time, I meet the best people, dancing to the best music! Up market vibes, but all welcome. Feels like home!

  • Andrew Clarke

Cool venue, great crowd, security team are lovely but please work on the audio quality, too loud and crackly.

The newly renovated main stage is actually amazing. Far and away one of the best clubs in Adelaide.

  • Jason Kirby

As a Londoner I'm used to great gay bars... Sydney was lacking... Adelaide isn't... such a fun bar.

  • Joshua Mullins

Loosing it's vibe. There is a really small non- happening place to dance. Place is very run down.
