A man has been shot in the face in the second drive-by shooting outside a Melbourne strip club in the past two months.

Police say the man, believed to be a bouncer aged in his 40s, was struck in the face outside Kittens nightclub on Cecil Street in South Melbourne late last night.

He was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Last November the club was targeted in a similar drive-by shooting, when a number of shots were fired from a car at the club, injuring a bouncer in the arm.
