Sorry Grandma

Okay, this venue takes the cake for kookiest named club in town, but do not take your grandma, really just don’t, unless of course she’s known to cut one loose with the kids on the dance floor and looks good in slingbacks.

So there's cups of tea and little posies of flowers in vases all over the place, and big flouncy curtains and 'for best' furniture everywhere, so the Grandma-theme has been pushed right to the edge here by designer Michael Delany of Honky Tonks fame. But then you'll notice all the googly-eyed portraits lining the walls, the serious disco ballage and theatrical staging around double dance floors, where of course the main action takes place.

So, just to make it absolutely clear: Sorry Grandma is all about antics for the kids. It's strictly a club for younger people who would probably have grandmas everywhere turning in the graves or tut-tutting about the stains on, well, everything. The cocktail shenanigans can sometimes get out of control early in the morning. Warning: turkey basters are possibly not the best way to measure out shots… catching my drift here? For the less light-footed, you can fight for one of the big comfy booths with private curtains should you want to… um… retire for a quiet moment to kiss someone.

You're best to get your name on the door-list well in advance, so visit the website, and yes, that does require a little planning on your part, but you'll be thankful when you don't have to stand out on Little Bourke Street at 2am with those ridiculous hipster skinny jeans and baggy T freezing your butt off… again.
