Editor's note: Since the publication of this article, Pink Pony announced it will now be known as Tribe @ 231.
A new gay club is coming to Sydney, this time at Flash’s old digs at 231 Oxford Street, Paddington.
Whispers of the new club have been circulating in industry circles for a number of weeks but were made official on Thursday night with the discovery of the Instagram account @pink.pony.sydney.
“Not the slick PR exercise we were hoping for but you may as well know where your next PARTY destination is,” a comment below its Instagram account reads.
“Planned opening first week December. See you on the Dance floor! PINK PONY formerly known as 231 Oxford St.”
The Palms Instagram account @palmsonoxford wrote below one of the two posts on the account: “Get ready to ride if you can bitches!”

Are we going to discuss the club profiting off of a mainstream lesbian while actively discriminating against the entire lesbian community?
