ChiChiz brings a new queer glittery nightlife space to Canberra

Founded by three friends, this new bar pays tribute to queer nightlife, drawing inspiration from the famous and iconic ChiChiz on Christopher Street in New York City. ChiChiz is a much-needed new home for Canberra’s queer community to come together and celebrate.

Their calendar is packed with DJs, drag shows, cabaret, art pop-ups and community takeovers — each event promising to be louder, prouder and more fabulous than the last.

Whether you’re dancing the night away or soaking up the atmosphere, ChiChiz is designed to help you celebrate your shade of queer joy.

The ChiChiz team describes the new venue as a “come as you are” space, built on inclusion, celebration of queer culture, creativity and genuine connection.

If you have not yet found yourself at ChiChiz, they’re located at 32 Northbourne Avenue, Canberra. Check out their gig guide at chichizbar.com.au
