BEST GRUNGY DEN – Red Rattler
Hidden away behind a chipped red door in a graffiti-laden laneway, the Red Rattler, or “Rat” as it’s fondly nicknamed, is a volunteer-run bar and performance space at the meeting point between cabaret aesthetics and industrial decay. Think exposed pillars, concrete, discoloured brick walls, red velvet curtains and regal secondhand couches. The licensed warehouse space hosts a whole range of debaucherous activities: drag shows, techno raves, burlesque nights, jazz gigs, indie film screenings, you name it.
