The Best Live Music Venues In Melbourne

Melbourne is famous for it’s fantastic cultural scene, and music is at the top of the list of things the city does best. While rock is Melbourne’s speciality, newer and more alternative sounds are beginning to soak the city. There is a little something for all tastes somewhere amongst the concrete jungle. Have a look at six of the best spots for gigs and concerts in Melbourne.

1. Howler

Bar, Pub Grub, Australian

The hippest new venue to be seen at on the north side, Howler is a warehouse turned bar, making it the coolest place for a sunny afternoon drink (half the roof is torn off). Howler is an art venue and hosts a diverse range of events, including DJs, international bands, fringe theatre and films. The crowd here likes to eat too (typical Brunswick), so it is really an all round bar experience, featuring the newest indie and alternative artists on the Melbourne music scene.

2. The Workers Club

Pub, Australian

With exposed timber beams, forest wallpaper and a capacity of 220, The Workers Club is a cosy venue, but one where you’re guaranteed to have a memorable night. The intimate venue assures that you get up real close and personal with the band. And, on another note, you can get a kick ass pub meal here too.
