| Melbourne City |
Melbourne is renowned for its music, being the music capital in all of Australia. The grunge, trendy style of Melbourne blends into the local music, with the dark bars and funky beer gardens the main setting for these extraordinary performances. Offering a wide range of genes and vibes to cater for every music lover! But where does one start? Melbourne is full of these delightful musically incorporated venues, so we’ve wrapped up the best live music venues in Melbourne for you to enjoy!
Corner Hotel
It is by far one of the most well-known music venues in the entire city, boasting an impressive and extensive line-up of acts over the years. Nestled right on the corner (hence the name) in Richmond, with a dark and grunge inside and sleek rooftop bar. It provides the perfect pre gig feed and drinks, with the celebrations going on well after the music sets are done.
Northcote Social Club
Since its beginning in 2004, the Northcote Social Club has skyrocketed to the top of this list easily. Nestled in the trendy north side of Melbourne, nearby to funky vintage stores and swarming with endless indie locals. It is all about the live music, with a laid-back outdoor section and a true relaxed pub atmosphere on the inside. This place is best for the up and coming talent of Melbourne, with many younger acts playing here just before they have their big break at fame.
The Workers Club
Sitting on the corner of Brunswick and Gertrude Street, this bar is an absolute crowd favourite for music. It is quite fresh, only established in 2009, but it has worked its reputation up and now is the perfect place for a trendy and classic pub menu, a delicious selection of beer, and some excellent live gigs.
The Tote
Built sometime in the mid-19th century, but not becoming what it is still is today in 1980. Known as Melbourne’s home of rock, if you are interested in seeing some local rock music, the Tote is by far your best choice. Hosting some of the best Australia rock, punk and heavy metal bands around. While you watch make sure to grab a burger to go with your beer for a truly exceptional experience.
Howler
Howler appeared more or less overnight and made a bang in the Melbourne music world. Featuring a large trendy warehouse-style up front, with the large band room in the back. Found in the hip centre of Brunswick, Howler has one of the most unique bar settings you will ever encounter, leading to most visitors to stay long after the music set is done for the night.
