You've walked every aisle, collected a bag full of brochures and had the same conversation forty times. A big day at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, or any Melbourne expo, deserves a better ending than a hotel room and a phone screen.
That's where we come in. The Men's Gallery is Melbourne's longest running strip club, an award winning venue at 601 Lonsdale Street in the CBD, a short hop from South Wharf.
Getting here from MCEC
The Men's Gallery is about 1.2 kilometres from the Exhibition Centre's Clarendon Street entrance, so you've got options.
By tram. Trams on routes 96, 109 and 12 stop at Stop 124A Casino/MCEC, right outside the Clarendon Street entrance. Route 96 runs straight up Spencer Street to Stop 1, Spencer Street and Bourke Street, which leaves you a short walk up to Lonsdale Street.
On foot. If your legs have anything left, it's roughly a 15 to 20 minute walk. Head north over the Yarra and up through the western end of the CBD.
By taxi or rideshare. MCEC has a taxi rank and rideshare pick-up point just outside the Convention Centre Place entrance. It's only a few minutes' drive to our door, traffic willing.
Not at MCEC? No worries
Whichever Melbourne venue your expo or conference is at, we're right in the CBD and easy to reach. Tram route 57 links Melbourne Showgrounds and Flemington Racecourse with the city, and from the CBD it's a short walk, taxi or rideshare to Lonsdale Street. Coming from somewhere else? Give a driver our address and you'll be here in no time.
Change out of the expo gear
Spent the day in hi-vis and boots on a demo stand? Swing past the hotel first, because workwear and steel-capped boots won't get past the door. Smart casual is the go, and our FAQ has the full dress code.
Planning the rest of the night
Live stage shows, private dances in discreet spaces and karaoke are all on, 7 nights a week. For what to expect inside, entry and ID, and bringing the team or clients along, see our guide to a conference night out in Melbourne. It covers the lot, from getting in the door to booking a private space for your crew.

Make a night of it
The expo might wrap up in the afternoon, but in the CBD the night is only getting started. Swap the name badge for a fresh shirt, jump on a tram and come and see how Melbourne does it after dark.
We're at 601 Lonsdale Street, open 7 nights and running til late. See you after the show.
