The stairs are rather scary! (Especially when you're wearing 5" heels) I am a changed woman after that place. I no longer wear heels out drinking, lest I fall down a flight of darkened stairs in a nightclub...like the Family!!! Also: Al Al Al, DO NOT. And I mean DO NOT waste your time with the GPO. You'll be bored and disgusted. No more need be said. Ladies: be wary! The stairs are rather scary!

Fell down @ least 3 times (of course it had nothing to do with the copious amounts of alcohol I had to drink - Ill just blame the shoes)!! And girls, if you're wearing a short skirt and a gee and walk up the stairs to the 'bongo room', you will certainly drawn a lot of attention! I'M LOVIN' FAMILY!!!

Something to look forward to every week. I used to always find my self at The Family Nightclub on Fridays and in The Sunbar on Saturdays. The Family never got boring, The Sunbar did. Times have changed, I am not at Family as much as I used to be and I am hardly ever in Sunbar since the novelty wore off. However one recent trend that has started in my life is my routine sunday breakfast in West End.

If you’ve ever been to The Family on a friday night, you would have most probably heard him play. As far as my opinion goes, I think he is one of Australia’s best DJs as he leaves the rest of them leaps and bounds behind. If you want more information, check out his website and listen to his song is it cold as it is fantastic. You can also do him a favour by voting him as the number 1 DJ in Australia! You can do that here. [...] […] Last weekend was really big, I was at The Family Nightclub on Friday night, listening to the great sounds of DJ Tydi till around 2:30am.

The upstair's balconies surround the dance floor. Glasses often get knocked or thrown from the upper level. Perhaps plasticware upstairs or a net to shield the dancers??? A night is ruined by an ambulance for a friend! The Empire had to provide nets to save vehicles as well as pedestrians...why can't Family make all dancers feel safe?

I will be starting work at the Family tonight - thought I'd better read up on it since I've never been there. I've only just moved to Bris from Toowoomba so I'm thinking the Family will be a significant change to the pub/club's we have in Woombyland. I can't say I like it or hate it yet but I can say I am definitely looking forward to 8pm tonight. xxx Thanks for all the info ppls.

I've been accepted into family without dressing up (old grey skate shoes, jeans and a boring dark red shirt) just because I was with a girl, I think. I have been refused while dressing much better. When I've been to Family with my mates, we've usually got in wearing the standard valley outfit: - white leather shoes (work like magic in the valley) - jeans - nice, funky bright T shirt For girls, I'd say try to look sexy, it doesn't matter how provocative or modest you are. If you look like you've lifted a finger to dress up you'll do well getting into clubs. Joanna,
