Chaser's Nightclub
386 Chapel St, South Yarra VIC 3141, AustraliaUpcoming Events
Chaser's is an iconic nightclub on Chapel St. Operating since November 1978, Chaser's has adapted over time to accomodate to the needs of the communities of Melbourne, which is one of the reasons for their long-lasting success. Chaser's is deceptively huge. Most people haven't seen the hidden rooms and other areas. For instance, the Moser Room was designed by Ralph Moser, an Australian art and production designer that has worked on a number of Hollywood Movies. The Moser Room looks like a room in a Medieval European Castle meant for royalty that wanted a 1980's light up dance floor in the middle of it. Another 'event' space is the Crystal Room. Not as lavish as the room above but still interesting that there is so much to the venue. With chandeliers and a smoking balcony, this is a phenomenal hidden gem. The Mezzanine is another not so little area situated within the the venue. Used for VIP areas, function spaces and another level of partying. And of course, the main club area, the area that most people are familiar with. ## Poof Doof and Other Gay Events Poof Doof is a gay-friendly event organiser and promoter, that runs huge gay events across Australia.

Poof Doof is wildly popular and consistently gets big crowd and is open till 6am. ## Miscellaneous Events When Poof Doof and other gay events aren't filling out Chaser's, the venue often hosts one-off or irregular events for a wide range of music stylings.
