Before I start, let's just say the reviews speak for itself as I myself, completely agree with all the negative reviews! I have visited Ms Collins over a long period gap of time and I have been treated exactly the same way! I went there before covid 19 where I went with my mates along with a some girlfriends from work. There were 7 people all together (4 girls & 3 guys) including myself, yet I was the only brown guy in the group. We waited in line for about 25 minutes, my mates were able to get in, including the girls as well yet they extended the procedure of my verification. My mates were waiting at the door for 15 minutes and all they said was that they have run out of space when my mate literally said there aren't that many people! Even though I was with the group. They finally let me in after the bouncer that has clearly have had no training regarding racial profiling as that's what they were doing. All muscle and literally no brains. I came to the venue last week and and surprise surprise, I was treated the exact way. Lined up like everyone else for my girl friends party in a booth inside. They let the white guys and Asian women inside who were behind me. I have my ID and my Covid pass. They held me there until my mates came out from the venue to tell that I was with them cause they didn't believe me when I told them that I was with them. I had to show them pictures, names and IG stories to as proof until my mates came. The venue has an amazing architecture and atmosphere but that's the only pro among a landslide of cons. In conclusion, this is one of the most racist and discriminating clubs in Melbourne! You'll have to have more girls and be white to get in with out a second glance. The bouncers were black or european and they look at me as if they are a superior. You can see the disgust in their eyes. Will never ever go there again.

I used to go to Miss Collins with my friends, unfortunately lately our experience there were disappointing and embarrassing. On Friday (16/12) around 11pm I went with all my friends there, the bodyguard told us that our male friends didn’t fit the dress code, they supposed to wear shirts. Everything was fine until literally 2 seconds later, he did let go a large group of guys wearing just T-shirt. So I approched the bodyguard and I said to him “I’m sorry but you told me that men supposed to wear shirts, why all these guys wearing T-shirt are going inside?” He was rude and he didn’t give me a reasonable answer. I said that I would complain about that and he answered “Do whatever you want”. As a customer you should train better your employees. You lost that night 15 potential customers! Also this is not the first time that one of your bodyguard chose with apparently no reason to not let go people inside. They denied the entrance three time to one of my friend. One time because he wore shoes “too casual”, another one because inside was too full (and later they let go inside other people), another one with another excuse. One of that nights, my friend’s girlfriend was already inside before him, she went outside to wait him and the bodyguard didn’t let her go back because he saw her outside waiting and chatting with him. We just thinking that your employees are racists and misogynists and you should investigate on that. You should check your cameras. We will never go back there! And we suggest to other people to do the same. Customer service should reflect the image of Miss Collins and if this is the image that you want to give, you will lose a lot of potential customers just for your employees’ behaviour. Embarrassing and disgusting.

I am appalled by how unreasonable the security are at this club. Firstly, we had a table booked at this club and while we were going back upstairs from the dance floor, security stopped my friend although he had a wristband. He wasn’t drunk or being a nuisance just literally showed his wristband and was stopped for a bit. However, they did let him through, only to pull him back downstairs because he was apparently giving them “attitude” earlier. If showing security your wristband is giving attitude then you guys should consider hiring someone else because the security shouldn’t be that sensitive. Secondly, our friend who was on the guest list was not let in because she was “intoxicated” and “stumbling” when she wasn’t. Thirdly, when I tried to go back into the club after meeting with my friend who couldn’t get in. Security briefly stopped me and rolled his eyes before letting me back in even though he was the same guy that let me out??? Anyways, never coming back. I have a feeling all these things that happened may have been racially motivated after looking at other reviews. If your caucasian your experience should be fine lmao.

i went there last night for the special performances from artists and DJ from friday livez concert. I was waiting for jason derulo to play. i went there about 10.30, i got to see travie mccoy and it was fine at first. But then around midnight the crowd was getting out of control, lots of fights in front of stage, i got in the middle almost out of breath and couldnt stand. me and my bf tried to call security to de-escalate the fights situation. but then nothing happened, they don't care about fights whatsoever, they don't care about the convinience of guests, no crowd control, i paid 50 bucks just to see people fight, get in the middle of them, almost out of breath, couldn't stand, and got my feet hurt people keep stepping on my toes and tried to get my space in front of stage. they should've have control inside not only outside on the entrace, they had bunch of securities outside the door, and no one was inside, people were trying to de-escalate the situations and the fights themselves, some of them gave up and just left the place horrible experience

We saw this place through Tik Toks that showed a nice place where the good vibe was promoted. Once there, only cash was accepted which is a little bit tricky but ok? Globally, the party was nice, the songs not that bad and the space equally spread with the bar in the middle. But here's why I put 1 star for this review. My friend was wearing a blazer and was one of the most elegant clothed from our entire group. I think that this place should really think about another policy concerning lgbtq+ people. Do you really think that is normal hearing 2 security guards ask him to STRICTLY NOT take off his jacket just because he is gay? Is it normal that they come across us to ask him to calm down while I was more shaking my body than him? Is it normal to permit yourself to make discriminatory comments like that? I think that these guard should be trained to stay open-minded or are they maybe simply following the house policy? In any case, I think that's not normal and that you should definetely change that state of mind that is just disgusting.

Don’t go here. I pre purchased tickets to the Kehlani after party. You would think having reserved attendance you’d be in the club in no time. That was far from the case. The line for ticket holders was 2 blocks. If you have tickets for an event you should not need to line up at all. I spoke to people ahead of us and they’d already been waiting 45 minutes. I did not pay money to spend my night lined up outside. Many people (me included) ended up leaving as we probably wouldn’t get inside in time for the main act. We looked at the clubs Insta stories and realised very quickly it was already at capacity and if we did ever get in, it would not be enjoyable as it would be well over capacity. I’m glad I made this decision as from the other reviews regarding this event, it sounds like chaos. I for sure won’t be going back ever again. Any artists approached to do an appearance here, don’t do it. They’re just scamming all your loyal fans and in breach of their venue/liquor license by overcrowding the venue which should be reported.

Brought a bunch of friends there on a Saturday night and was hoping to have a good night to spend on the dance floor. Had high hopes before entering due to the extended queue (thought it must be its popularity). Absolutely trashiest place if you would like to spend your night to some good vibe and music. Good try in sticking with the Barbie theme however need to do better on inviting a better quality of DJ - 95% of the time in the club they are not cooking at all, just simply playing youtube music louder only... I do not know what is the point of paying $40 bucks per head and overpriced alcohol to enjoy loud music in low bpm. Drink-wise: Quality was bad as their DJs - One of us asked for cocktails and got told that "you'll have to order with someone who can make cocktails". (How am I supposed to know right away who makes cocktail???) Conclusion: Thank you for reading all the way to the end, unfortunately I cannot recommend this place to those who loves a bit of dancing time in the club since their bpm was always 80-100.

I thought outright racism was a thing of the past in multicultural cities like Melbourne and sydney, but Ms. Collins proved me wrong... Went here on a Friday night with my wife and a friend (I am Indian origin), the que was short and there were a few people ahead of us , a few without ids (I heard the conversation) were showed in swiftly. However as we approached the front of the que the bouncer directly told us "sorry we are full you should have booked in advance" ... I told him that I tried to make the booking and was suggested I should walk in.. at this point he suggested sorry there is a function going on, he was not even willing to have a conversation with us. I told him that you just let (white) people in front of us in without a problem, at this point he just asked us to step to the side and leave... Its hard to believe that in this day and age venues like these still exist in cosmopolitan cities like Melbourne. Shame on the management and the venue!

Literally the worst ticketed event I have ever attended. From the extremely long line that was poorly managed for ticket holding patrons and non ticketed. The management completely overpacked the venue. We couldn’t walk through any space of the venue and had people pushing us, stepping on our feet, being agitated and on edge the entire time we were inside. Meanwhile security kept pushing more people through the door. Even when concerns for people’s safety was expressed to workers and security they shrugged it off and kept taking more people in. Absolutely disgusting ethics. Any Artist approached by this venue for their after parties should 100% decline if they care about their loyal fans. I lost complete respect for the artist we went to see also as they looked out and saw no problem with the situation in front of them. If I could give a negative star review I would.

so tonight we went to ms collin’s and we’re immediately intimidated with many men and skimpy women at the door. we were then told it was $30 entry CASH only once we were in the vibes were sketchy. a lady sat there flicking notes and inside looked dead. was not vibey at all. we decided maybe we didn’t really want to spend the $30 for entry and when we tried to leave we had the door closed on our faces then the security decided to bring an eftpos machine. like sorry but where was the eftpos option in the beginning. once we said we weren’t interested and just wanted to leave they all looked at eachother and one said “do we let them leave?” we pushed through and left. if this place isn’t a drug den it’s human trafficking. don’t recommend at all. i didn’t feel safe what so ever

went to this club for Kehlani’s event. You could not move, dance or walk & people were struggling due to overcapacity. When myself & my friends had enough, it took us so long to get to the door when the security did not let us out as it was only a entrance door & we were struggling really bad (also told him) & the security made us walk to the exit door through the crowd… again. When we left, they were still letting people in after numerous complaints to staff/security about the overcapacity. When the staff were told about how nobody couldn’t breath in that club, couldn’t move, they shrugged their shoulders & did not care. Very very poor & will not be returning as we did not feel safe & was so dangerous.

If you have a beard and look like from a different country don’t go here. Came to Melbourne for holidays, the racist on the door properly ruined it for us. Said the club was closed and did not let us in. Requested multiple times explaining that we walked a long way there and if we could go in just for a drink. Got denied. The guy on the gate did not even bother to speak, just shook his head side ways saying no. While we were waiting for our uber, several people were allowed to go in. Then some other people who looked like us came to the line and were denied entry just like us. Don’t ever go to this club No one deserves to be treated like this!!!!!!

Ms. Collins brings to life the Studio 54 vibes of yesteryear, with a fresh coat of the contemporary. Great venue choice for after work drinks, private functions/booths and everything in between. Thursday’s you’ll feel the Latin and samba vibes (free entry and dance classes)! Friday’s are the perfect combination of luxury and comfortably, highly recommended the booth treatment. And on Saturday nights you’ll find Melbourne’s finest asian night by the amazing Tang events team, early arrival is an absolute must. Amazing patrons and incredibly friendly management, plenty of bars, dance floors, bathrooms and anything else you’d need to enjoy your night!

Very unfair and inhuman business practice. They have a policy a policy of no food or drink to be taken inside. All good. Fair business policy. But what they don't allow is to cloak your bags or keep your food/water somewhere and take it back.. they ask you to throw your drink away. Why should we throw it away. We need it after we are done there... They should provide an alternative option to asking visitors to throw away their food & water. Even after trying to explain for 15 mins that I don't need them while I am inside, but I have to go a long way back home and need it afterwards, the manager refused to understand or provide alternate options.

We had a wonderful end to our EOFY celebrations thanks to Ms Collins. They were easy to deal with and personalised our event space with a photobooth and even putting our company graphics on their big screens before the club opened to the public. The food and drinks were great and the staff were accommodating. The only downside was having to wait outside for half an hour as we were not allowed in until after 6pm (our confirmed arrival time was 5:45pm and we were early) and the bouncer was quite standoffish and rude which felt unncessary. This was a small blip though on an otherwise great event though. Thanks Ms Collins!

If I could give less than 1 star then I seriously would. I spent $1000 on a booth for my birthday and also had a birthday list. Naturally my friends didn’t all arrive at the same time and naturally the girls arrived together and the guys arrived together. They wouldn’t let any of my male friends in because they weren’t walking in with women although 75% of my guests were women. I visibly had a clear majority of women at my table and with my group but because they arrived at different times I was left celebrating my birthday without majority of my male friends. Very poor and amateur tbh

if only I could rate this place with less than 1 star i 100% would. went there for the latin night but they denied the entry to a latina woman in my group just because she was wearing trackies. the bouncers and managers were particularly aggressive with no reason and the overall managing of the situation showed the poorest customer service i’ve ever seen in Australia. I don’t know what kind of nose powder the staff was on tonight, but it definitely wasn’t the good kind i also wanna ask the person down in the comments who said that Ms Collins gives massive Studio 54 vibes: are you ok?

It should be called ms rude and poor Quality stuff! I got Uber me and my girlfriend to invite her there for bday and went there and asked us if we know someone inside! Is that place for party or dealers! And they took for boys inside because they were talking to security by ears so no one hear!such a time waster, I know the Manager and one of the security guard or the bartender… but I didn’t mention because I don’t like to go in like this way they have to treat us nice because we all human being , never there again I end up at spice market much better Quality service.

Had a table booked last night, we were on the dance floor heading back up to our booth when security stopped my friend. He showed him his wristband and they let him follow us through. Later however, they come up and pull my friend away to take him outside to have a “talk” where the security guard just says my friend was giving attitude and needed to show respect. Horrible experience I definitely agree with other comments saying the bouncers are racist. There was absolutely no reason for that to happen and ms collins needs to find more professional security.

I thinks is the best place for latin party, you don’t have to pay cover every Thursday, the line is huge but if you arrived on time you will be inside soon, the environment is amazing full of latin people which is amazing, if you wanna learn hot to dance salsa or bachata or reggaeton that’s the place to be! Also the drinks are quite cheap though (Corona just for 6 AUD) and some Colombian shots as well. It’s true that is crowded but you get used too. The party on the Friday night is also amazing! Can’t wait to come back!

Thursday 20 April I went like every Thursday, I paid for The wardrobe (not for the first time), I paid to make me disappear the leather Jacket I had. The girl who worked from 23.30 to 2.40 in the morning is the meanest person I have ever seen work, rude, obnoxious. Ridiculous that you hire people like that. Not only was she bad to us, but she didn't give me my jacket back and honestly I think she did it on purpose. Needless to say, I will never set foot in your place where I generally spend a lot of money. Never again

Friday night. A very hip place. Lot's of people all in fancy dress and costume, but still feels pretentious sometimes. Somewhat decadent, most of the time very loud and crowded. Can't really dance with no dedicated area. Ms Collins even closed off 1/3 of the venue, probably to not scatter people too much. Good bartenders who obviously enjoy their jobs. Music ok, if you like RnB and Rap mixed with mainstream of that genre. Drinks very expensive but strong. Go for the birthday special, nice deal!

I wish I had negative rating cuz this club totally deserves it. The security is soo abusive and have problems with NON WHITES. I visited today with some of my friends. And even though I had tickets they did it let us in. The manager also made some demeaning comments on my firne. And also the security was really rude. I wish god would have blessed their souls with some more dignity and respect. I would never recommend someone to go there and get insulted just for their skin colour or clothes.

Can't believe this happened! I was on the queue for a couple of hours and they didn't let me in because I was not on the guestlist. The website says you can buy the ticket at door and there are no direct ways to get into the guestlist. Next, the bouncers think they own the place. Only recommend to people who can get into the so called guestlist or should be capable of teleporting yourself from the queue to the inside of the club. That way you don't need to deal with folks who wear black!

Unfortunately race seems to play a big part in who gets in and who doesn't. Watched it happen multiple times, and rather blatantly. I didn't expect this to be a thing in 2023, and definitely not in Melbourne, but apparently it is a thing here. I'll be doing what I can to escalate this further, and also bring more awareness to this - management needs to be held to account. I suggest you give your money to a venue that isn't stuck in the 1950s with racist views.

How’s even possible that the entrance is denied because we are not regulars customers knowing that my friends and I came from another city just to this place but this is the most ridiculous excuse given by the bodyguards. HORRIBLE. And right after in front of us they allowed the entrance of 4 guys just by themselves without any reason they just made us all felt discriminated without any reason. How sad is the work ethic of the employees working there….

The worst place that I’ve ever been, the bouncers are really awful they always harassed you for your clothes, if you don’t have the clothes that they like they don’t let you get in, if you don’t have the same amount of girls than boys they don’t let you get in, literally it’s the worst place that I’ve ever been don’t recommend it at all. there are more latin parties in melbourne better than these place. don't waste your time and money going there.

I had a terrible experience at this club. My friends and I waited in line for over an hour, only to be told that we couldn't enter because we didn't have any females with us. This is a blatant act of discrimination and sexism. It was my friend's birthday, and they still refused us entry. It's 2023, and I can't believe that a club would have such outdated policies. It was a complete waste of our time, and I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.

Where do I start…. Imagine your travelled from Brisbane to have a blast with your mate. Your having the time of you life. It comes to the time in evening when you’re ready to have a boogie. Dressed better than every peasant inside this filthy establishment. Before I continue I’d like to add we have beautiful women inside waiting for their gentlemen. Anyhow the bouncer informed we cannot enter unless we paid extortionate fees @ $200/ person.

Nowadays technology is so advanced, but apparently not enough for Ms Collins security that don't accept virtual IDs. Inside there's no chairs or anything to sit down or just put your things, if you want to go with a bag or something you have to keep it near the bathrooms for $5 cash (still, technology?). DJs are bad. They don't know how to change the songs and the rhythm is fast always, also they play songs that only they know.

The security guards are on a crazy power trip, we rocked up at around 11:30, dead sober and my friend wasn’t let in but the rest of us were??? They were so rude and couldn’t give us a reason other than “she is too drunk” which she obviously wasn’t, she was speaking coherently and communicating just fine. They had no reason to say she was drunk. Working in a bar, seeing something like this was super disappointing.

3.5 STARS! Went here for a work function on a Thursday night. It was an okay venue. The main floor was a big bar surrounded by seats and standing area. The upstairs gave you a good view of the downstairs. Music wise, I enjoyed the latino hip hop mix. I was dancing for hours!!!! Drink wise, some seemed a little "mild". Maybe it was just me. The staff were quire friendly, even the security were nice.

My group of friends had been planning a night to ms Collins for weeks and the night of we were DEAD SOBER and came straight from work. My friend was not let in because she was “too drunk”. The security guards provided no reason as to why they thought this and ordered her out of the line immediately. Think twice before you plan a night here because you most likely won’t get let in.

My friend (m) and I (m) wanted to enter the club, but got shouted at of one of the bouncers. My friend wore a short and skinny shirt and he was told to cover it, even if other women are even less dressed. I felt unsave in this entire situation since he didn't stop putting rage in his voice even if a coworker told him to chill out. I got the feeling of homophobia...

Fun vibes however very expensive. There is a $25pp entry fee (cash only), $5/garment cloak room (cash only), $13 shots and $26 cocktails. There was no dance floor so you’d be jamming whilst people are bumping into you with drinks. We came at 0000 and no queue. The place was packed and started to slow from 0200. The bartenders are great and know the good shots to take.

The most discriminating and racist security in Melbourne. They also wouldn’t let you in if you are a male and you are not accompanied by a female. They feel entitled to enforce (policies) that aren’t even displayed on their website and the worse is that they get away with it. Tromba Latin party is clearly getting a bad reputation. Disgraceful behaviour.

Performed here tonight. Staff were friendly and professional, drinks were fast. Performers were well looked after. Large, busy with loud thumping music. 3 levels overlook the main floor. Bars everywhere in the place. Good lighting and decor. Long line to enter, although it was moving quickly. Good night out if you like popular and techno music.

Racist bouncers at the door. Me along with a couple of friends went to get drinks after work, but security guard number 23 racially profiled us stating we were not good for the venue. This was outrageous but we didn’t want to cause a scene there and then. This is deeply hurtful and I would never recommend this place to ‘non-whites’.

We had a party in the Champagne bar. It’s a great room, private bar, good service and the food is plentiful. We drank way too much and had to leave early but the staff were good with us although we were causing trouble. It’s a great vibe and classy establishment. Worth a visit but get there early as the queue can be a long wait.

Always a good option for drinks after work. The atmosphere is unique a premise that fusions classic with contemporary. Selection and variety of whisky an tequila is good which is actually what we always drink. Bar tenders are nice and staff as well. Definitely next time we'll grab some nibbles because they look so great.

Pretty nice venue with lots of little areas, just wish there was a more focussed dance floor. Staff and security are great. Toilets were also monitored and cleaned regularly, that’s always a great thing to see :) good choice of music and easy to get here via public transport or walking from the city. Would recommend!

Pretty cool club with great music and beautiful people. I'd strongly recommend the VIP tickets, as you may meet a few influencers upstairs (some will provide passwords for cheaper entry). Be sure to check for events in advance though, because you'll often find places that are guest list only.

#sexism #misogyny. If you want to go to a night club where you see scantily clad women dance on the bar. Go here. Frankly. I think this belongs on yesteryear. We have moved on Ms Collins - move on too! Have a scantily clad man dance along a scantily clad woman.

One of the most racist bar in Melbourne, wont give entry even after reservations just because of our color and race... the worst part is they will still make u stay in the line for hours just to later deny entry for no specific reason from their side

My friend and I tried to have a good moment, we looked forward to be a nice night in a Latin bar. It's was a terrible experience. We are 7 girls and 4 guys, 2 of those guys were wearing sport and they didn't let them in. I don't recommend you

The absolute WORST. Went as a group and we were all let in except for the brown friend. Bouncer said club is full when it was clearly not. Argued for a while but just left cuz they were not going to listen anyway. 尴尬。请不要带你的朋友来这里!!

Pretty sure it was a banging spot back in my day but I have certainly outgrown it… still plays solid R&B on Saturdays and crowd is on the younger side. Massive queues even with table bookings! Though wait isn’t very long …

Wow! If you’re coming here for dinner with a group of people - get the banquet!! The pictures speak for themselves, the food and drinks are amazing. It can get very busy on a Friday night but the service exceeded expectations!

This is a great spot for a Saturday night out. Music is amazing. Security and staff here are nice too. They've got different theme nights from Thursday through to Saturday which attracts crowds from all diversities.

Great venue with good atmosphere, Talisa behind the bar is an incredible bartender, did such an amazing job recommending what drinks to get and making sure everyone was served. Will definitely be coming back!

Discriminates against tattoos, didn't allow a co worker with a head tattoo in (with his daughters name) saying that's their policy but allow celebrities with head and face tattoos inside. Do not go here

We had a great time Thursday night. The place is well catered for and decorated. The music was great Loads of people there last night The cocktails where delicious... But ridiculously small

Absolutely shocking why sell tickets then still make ppl wait hours in a queue unless you are half naked then the bouncers will let you in straight away Absolute joke of a joint.

Don't go here on a Saturday unless you have a booth or are on the guest list. What happened to the days when night clubs were open to everyone. Waste of time.

A lovely quiet pub with booths for comfy privacy. Awesome drinks menu and booth babes with short shorts. Nice ;) also love the toilets graffiti. Very cool :)

Best club in the city, sound, decor, prices and service, plus the convenience of the location, and that is best....They have an amazing Whisky Bar inside!!!

Very bad experience.. Friday night at 9.30 pm .. we’re not allowed in because we were brown colour person.. I think Racism still prevails in todays world..

The best place on Thursday’s to get a Latino party , taste Latino food from @grilllifemelbourne , drink Margaritas , get shots and enjoy your journey!

Not allowed in because we had 3 guys in our group - they told us up front. This venue is apparently allowed to break anti discrimination laws.

You can only get in if you have girls in your group. They turn away guys like there is no tomorrow. Very disappointing.

Good experience, the waitress was friendly and beautiful... If there is trance or techno would be perfect …

Amazing atmosphere, beautiful decorated, probably one of the best places in Melbourne! Must go, Thursdays!

Every Thursday I'm there! Is already my second home! Nice people! From the bodyguards until the baristas!

Had a good time on my birthday until a guard discriminated me for dancing with a male friend. Very sad.

Extremely rude bouncer. May consider nicer people on the door if you wish to bring in business.

latin night on thursday is quite funny great DJ in here with free entry n free drink sometimes

Definitely one of the nicer clubs in Melbourne. The interiors are amazing here!

Where else but here. The party place you want to get involved

DRESS CODE FOR MEN: NO cargo pants & bum bags.

We like the Latino night and good music
