Bananas

Overview

If there’s anything that the people behind all these refurbished pubs popping up everywhere want you to know, it’s that they’re not trying to do anything fancy-schmancy. The Flinders Hotel is the latest super-dive to launch a weekly party, and this one’s called BANANAS. It probably will be quite bananas, because this is a pub where you go to do bananas things like chase your whiskey with shots of pickle juice and carve naughty pictures into the woodwork.

If you’ve been spending all your hard-earned cash on actual bananas, which are really expensive right now, then you can find comfort in the news that BANANAS is totally free. And with a music policy ranging from Ace of Bass to the Zombies, regular DJs including Jono Ma and Jack Shit plus their very own Autopop DJs curating the sound system, it will sound quite bananas indeed. Drinks were only free for the launch so you’ll have to pay for those, but it’s not unheard of for The Flinders’ bartenders to get up on the floor and start pouring Jameson down people’s throats. Bananas, right?
