    Very friendly place, particularly bar staff who look after girls, mind you I was the only girl there on a Saturday night (except for the Drag Show!) Were quite a few girls in the night before though.

    The staff and patrons of DT’s have found out by reading newspapers that DT’s is up for sale.. the site, the building etc type sold…
    I have been told by staff they will continue to trade until they are told to stop.

    from MCV Magazine and comfirmed by DT’s staff
    the following is a quote from the MCV website dated 7 July 2011

    Quote:
    DT’s Hotel to remain a gay pub
    WRITTEN BY ANDREW SHAW | 06 JULY 2011

    Melbourne’s north side breathed a sigh of relief today following the announcement after weeks of speculation that DT’s Hotel in Richmond will continue operating as a pub for the LGBTI community.

    In an exclusive interview with MCV, DT’s manager Bruce McKenzie said he has been informed by the new owner there will be no changes to the pub’s atmosphere and operation.

    “I had a meeting with the new owner today and he wants to keep the place going as it is, I’ll be running it and all that sort of thing,” McKenzie said.

    “After about 12 months’ time [the owner] says he might start renovating, maybe making the garden bigger, but it’s basically going to stay the same, he wants to make it bigger and better.

    “It’s still the DT’s that everyone knows and loves.”

    The news comes after two major gay venues in Melbourne closed recently – The Market and the Xchange hotels, both on the south side.
