About bubu - What is the event all about?
About us...
bubu is the new monthly men only bear club night held on the first Friday of every
month in Dubarrys Bar, Belfast. The event is for guys of all shapes and sizes in
Belfast and something different for the gay community in Northern Ireland.

We aim to offer all of our customers a friendly attitude, great music and a value for
money dance, cruise and booze night out. bubu has a mixed following of Bears,
Cubs, Chubs, Muscle bears, their admirers and guys who like the company of other
men. Although we are a bear event we aim to be inclusive of all men who want
something different than the current offerings on the gay scene here.

The music played on a bubu night won't be your standard Twinkie cheesy pop, it will
be a mix of current and classic club beats with a sprinkling of quality pop music.

bubu was started by two young cubs from Belfast who loved going out to the big
bear clubs in London, Manchester and Birmingham. They enjoyed the non
judgemental, easy going attitude and fun atmosphere those clubs offered and
sought to recreate that here in Belfast. In Janurary 2010 the boys stood down as
the event's showrunners and promoters to pursue other careers but the show goes

on
with Robert Brown formerly of Bear Force One holding the reins.

Be yoU, Be yoUrself - That is what bubu really means... This is what the night is all
about, having fun and being yourself.

We hope you enjoy our Bear nights, we aim to grow the event every month and to
give back to the community which will support that growth. We are starting small
but we have big dreams and ideas for the future.

Hugs, The bubu Boys.x

About the Venue - Dubarrys Bar

Dubarrys Bar is a Fairy tale come true.

Situated on the site of former nightclub, The Factory in Gresham Street,
Dubarrys opened it's doors on Saturday 5th August 2006.

The downstairs lounge area's classy black and gold decor, with big mirrors and
paintings of naked men, provides the perfect backdrop for the older, more
sophisticated crowd and younger types of similar style.

The middle level is all about dancing, while the top floor exudes a more chilled
out, chintzy Moroccan feel.

Situated in Belfast's Cathedral Quarter, it brings a touch of glamour and class to
Belfast's gay scene.
