Indestructible Victorian pub with a relentless party spirit, known to its own as the RVT. Themed nights include comedy and alternative cabaret, most famously Saturday regular Duckie hosted by New Jersey-born handbag-wielding lipstick-lipped lesbian Amy Lam, welcoming lovers of the Smiths, Kate Bush, the Mamas & the Papas. From late Sunday afternoons expect stimulated shirtless men keeping Saturday night alive in tea-dance style, crowding the pavement out front while oblivious to the cars rolling past while clever-trashy tribute stand-up the Dame Edna Experience entertains indoors. Regular Tuesday tenant is Club Wotever, which provides an "open stage for up and coming queer talents to show off". Every second Friday of the month = Kimono Krush ("alternative gay disco with a tranny edge"}.
