Ratz Melville


Under new management since August 2025, Ratz is back doing what it does best – keeping Melville late, loud, and proudly queer-forward. One of Melville’s longest-running nightlife staples, this quirky bar blends alternative sounds, retro R&B Sundays, and soulful House Wednesdays, all played through Martin Audio speakers salvaged from the old Kitchener’s Bar. Fuel up with peri-peri wings and crispy chips, sip on their signature Coco’s Sour Margarita, and don’t miss their daily R20 tequila happy hour from 23:00 – 00:00. Inclusive, unpretentious, and always ready for a dance,  all are welcome, except bigots.
