Pride of our Footscray Bar & Nightclub
Level 1, Hopkins St, Footscray VIC
Located opposite Footscray Market.
Walking into Beans Bar in Melbourne’s Fitzroy neighborhood, guests will detect its cozy décor of leaves and mirrors that give the space a calm and natural atmosphere–a safe haven in the middle of a bustling city. And just above the bar is a painting of the bar’s namesake, Beans, the beloved cat of founder Beca Pressing.
Beans Bar is the first bar in Melbourne that’s solely dedicated to lesbian, trans, and neurodivergent patrons. In case you didn’t know, neurodivergent usually refers to people with autism and ADHD, and the bar caters to this marginalized group in a variety of ways such as providing patrons with bubble poppers at the entrance. The colorful tools help neurodivergent people self-regulate when they are in a chaotic environment, like a bar, by making it easier for them to concentrate or focus. The bar also turns down the lights and music to produce the space calm and sensory-friendly during its weekly Spicy Sunday events.
When Beca Pressing first announced her plans to open a designated space for womxn loving womxn and trans people, the bar quickly gained an online following. “It has been really heartwarming to see how much the community has embraced Beans Bar,”
