Local tip
Checking the event programme before arrival helps match the upstairs pop room with the downstairs house and underground schedule.

Cruz 101 is a two-floor gay nightclub at 101 Princess Street, with a late-night club format built around DJs, dancing, drag and themed events. Set inside a converted Victorian warehouse, the venue combines an upstairs main room with a separate downstairs space known as Sub 101.

The main club focuses on pop and chart music, with lighting, a dance floor, two bars and a stage used for drag performances, PAs and other live appearances. Its sound and presentation suit club nights that move between familiar singalong tracks, DJ-led sets and scheduled entertainment.

Sub 101 offers a different atmosphere below the main room. It has one bar, a dedicated dance space and a focus on house, tech-house and underground sounds. The room has no natural light, giving it a more enclosed club setting than the brighter and more performance-led upstairs area.

Music and entertainment change across the weekly programme, with recurring themed nights covering pop, chart, house and underground styles. The schedule also includes nights centred on drag, DJs and specialist sets, so the character of the evening depends on the event taking place.

Cruz 101 suits adults looking for a dedicated gay club environment with distinct music rooms and a choice of mainstream or underground sounds. It is designed for dancing rather than dining, with bars across both floors and a late-night atmosphere. The venue is also set up for group visits, with booths available through the club’s app.

Entry is for people aged 18 and over, and identification is required. Event tickets, the latest programme and any special arrangements are published through the club’s current channels. The app also provides access to entry information, drink offers and the venue’s loyalty scheme.
