Nightlife in Melbourne

The Corner Hotel on Swan Street has been a pillar of Melbourne's live-music scene since the 1990s. The intimate downstairs band room has launched dozens of Australian acts, while the rooftop bar above is one of Richmond's best-loved sunset spots.

Cherry Bar is Melbourne's legendary rock 'n' roll bar, a sweaty, loud, and unapologetically authentic live music den in the heart of the CBD. It is one of the last great dive bars in a city famous for them.

Revolver Upstairs is Melbourne's most iconic late-night music venue, a sprawling multi-room club in Prahran that has been the epicentre of the city's electronic music scene for over two decades.
