Beans Bar is Melbourne's premier destination for the LGBTQ+ community! This hidden gem is bringing new energy to the Melbourne scene and is the brainchild of Beca, a passionate and visionary owner who knows what it's like to feel like she doesn't quite fit in.
Inspiration for Beans Bar struck Beca unexpectedly, sparked by a humorous TikTok video she made about opening a lesbian bar. Little did she know that her joke would turn into a reality, driven by her determination and unyielding spirit. Beca's vision expanded to embrace the diversity of the queer community, recognizing the need to include trans, non-binary, and neurodivergent individuals who often feel excluded from mainstream spaces. In her pursuit of inclusivity, equality, and equity, Beca has created an extraordinary sanctuary that ticks all the right boxes.
