91 Oxford

Probably the best open mind/gay bar in Sydney. Always feel safe and welcome, downstairs is a proper bar, good drinks and fun drags shows, always fun... upstairs more full on, a proper party, dance music and amazing laser lights, and the music is always on point. This photo was taken a while ago on a Friday drag show (upstairs) called "Premier" a truly amazing show!

I used to spend time here when it was the Midnight Shift, and it’s great to see it revitalised as Universal under new owners. Friendly staff, good vibes, entertainment, and drink prices that won’t leave you broke for the next week. The upstairs nightclub has amazing lights and lasers and the downstairs drag shows are always fun.

Last night my friend was assaulted by one of the security team and asked to leave after buying $150 of drinks. We were all shocked because he had done absolutely nothing wrong and was minding his own businesses. The only thing we could think of is he accidentally tripped over someone in the bathroom. Bouncer was incredibly rude and forcefully pushed him into the bar. Avoid this place.

Bouncer extremely uncooperative. Live around the corner and came by to pick my partner up because he was a bit drunk and lost his wallet. Not sure if the bouncer is homophobic or just racist but refused me entry based on bar policy (without telling me what the policy was). Let in a group of 3 drunk girls right after me without questioning them at all. I don’t mind that straight people are coming to share gay bars to hang out and learn about the gay community but when you’re giving priority to straight white girls because they’re attractive it seems like there’s a conflict of interest with running a gay bar.

Spend nearly $800 on the premiere: oz with my friends. This was a great show however within the hour afterwards the staff quickly told my friend she was “to drunk” for the way she was dancing despite not actually being & escorted her out. Following excorting her out he actually thanked her for coming out & said she’s not drunk but because it was over the radio she couldn’t get back in: We went with our friend to get her a taxi home & went to come back to be told we were not allowed back in. We were called abusive things by the bouncers and told “your kind is not welcome” following this despite explaining the situation. Extremely rude staff. Would not recommend.

Very disappointed that I was not allowed to buy drinks for my friends and myself because I was moving too much and being an extrovert they immediately think you are drunk. I understand you have to stick to regulations and keep the place safe, but even after a chat she would not change her mind. Ok, If that’s what you want, congratulations, I’m not coming back, plenty of other options.
