WEEKLY
TUESDAY: POOL COMP
The Lairds’ Pool Comp is probably one of the friendliest in town, where guys can compete in a professional rules comp, with a relaxed not-too-serious vibe. The competition sized table (it’s bloody huge!) sits beautifully in our arena-style Pool Room. With classic rock & pop tunes plus cheap jugs all night, it’s a great mid-week night out.
Bar open 5pm-late. Pool comp starts at 8pm. $5 pool comp entry.
WEDNESDAY: BANNED CAMP featuring SING STUD
Oh Lordy. If there was ever a day of the week that screams for something a bit different, it’s Wednesday. Welcome to Banned Camp, where we throw caution to the wind and crank out camp and trashy music videos all night long on the big screen. Of course being reasonable lads we’re open to requests (for music anyway). Down a $2 ‘Cher Shooter’. Not only will it help to mask any camp music-related shame, it’s fruity-licious!
All homo’s welcome.
SING STUD (fourth Wednesday)
Sing Stud is Blokeoke at the Laird, hosted by the always up-beat Sunny. Pick a song and belt out a tune on the Back Bar stage. Got a song request? Shoot us an email and we’ll make sure to have it on hand. Action starts 8pm.
Bar open 5pm. Free entry.
THURSDAY: SPIT N POLISH
Spit N Polish is possibly one of the longest running weekly leather and fetish
nights in the world. Dark beats, buzz cuts & boot shine create to the cruisy
atmosphere, and the strict dress code ensures an intimate, open & comfortable
environment for those passionate about the lifestyle they have chosen. For
everyone else, Nuggets Bar and the Beer Garden are open all night with no
dress code.

FRIDAY: THE COCK PEN
Put down the phone. Pick up at the pub. The Cock Pen is for guys who want to catch up with other guys - face to face. Music matters. Papa Tom, Kam Shafaati & Courtney Marson. Music to make you tap your feet. Maybe get off your seat. Maybe put your hands up in the air. Shirts-off drink discounts. Put your shirts up in the air. Shy? Have a Cock Shot. It's 5 bucks worth of feel-good. You can do it all night. Fridays… The way it used to be… but a whole lot cruisier.
Bar open 5pm-late. The Cock Pen kicks off at 9pm.
SATURDAY: SATURDAY BEAT
Saturday nights march to the beat of a different drum. No bangin’ music (unless it’s one of our awesome special events), a kicked back vibe in a masculine and friendly atmosphere. On the second Saturday of the month, the Laird plays host to Melbourne Leather Men Pub Nights where the MLM crew present different themed fetish nights and all men are welcome to delve in to the darker side of life. The fourth Saturday of the month sees the big & friendly guys from Vic Bears take over for their long-running Den Night with BBQ’s, karaoke, games nights, competitions and more.
