Located on Fitzroy’s Gertrude Street in a building that once housed an ironworks, Evie’s Disco Diner is where the nostalgic flair of 80’s New York meets Melbourne’s modern, inclusive vibes. Since throwing open its doors on Valentine’s Day 2018, Evie’s has cemented itself as one of Melbourne’s most iconic and welcoming LGBTQ+ venues, offering funky flavors and fun.
Evie’s serves up delicious vegan-friendly comfort food inspired by the classic American diners of yesteryear—but don’t worry, carnivores, there’s plenty here to sink your teeth into, too! Think all your fast food faves with a plant-based twist that’s so good, even the biggest meat-lovers will be tempted to go green. We highly recommend Disco Tots and Spicy Chicken Burger if you like some spice, their Chicken & Waffles if you are feeling breakfasty, or try their Evie's Burger for some vegan deliciousness.
But the food is just the beginning. Evie’s is home to Fitzroy’s happiest hour (from 4 pm daily), the most colorful bar energy this side of the rainbow, and a bottomless brunch that’s as boozy as it is fabulous. Whether you’re here for a drag brunch that’ll have you laughing and singing along, or a late-night party where you can let your hair down and unleash your inner diva, Evie’s Disco Diner is the place to be.
And let’s talk about events, because Evie’s has them in spades! From sassy drag shows to karaoke nights that’ll have you belting out your favorite tunes, there’s always something fun, flirty, and fabulous happening. Plus, with their commitment to being (almost) plastic-free, you can sip your cocktails guilt-free, knowing they’re served with reusable glass straws, while the rest of your takeaway goodies come in eco-friendly packaging.
So, if you’re looking for a place where the vibes are high, the food is to die for, and the fun never ends, Evie’s Disco Diner is your go-to spot. Come for the food, stay for the party, and leave with memories that’ll last a lifetime. Because at Evie’s, every night is a flashback to fabulous!
