QUESTIONS

  • Of course. We have a small but excellent selection of reasonably priced wines and offer delicious cocktails and select spirits and beers. Our friends at Complete Catering Co. can craft a delicious menu for whatever style of event you have in mind. From grazing tables, canapés and buffets to sit-down dining - they pride themselves on ensuring your experience is ‘memorable, satisfying and hassle-free.’ – which is why we partner with them!

  • Absolutely. We want your event to be exactly as you’d like it and are happy to support any of your chosen suppliers to deliver a great experience for you and your guests. A fully equipped kitchen is available to professional caterers – comprising of a combi oven, a commercial gas oven with 4 burners and a griddle pan, two sinks, a commercial dishwasher, a freezer and refrigerator drawers, bench tops and shelving and an overhead food warmer, along with access to our on-premises walk-in cold room.

    If you want to self-cater and bring in your own snacks and cheese or create a grazing table, we can do that too, just note there could be a clean-up fee at the end of your event.

  • We’ve got you covered with our exceptional sound system that runs throughout the venue, allowing you to connect your own device if you like. You can also leave the tunes to us if you prefer – we’ve got rather excellent taste. If you’d like live music on the day acoustic is fine but only inside. You can also bring in a DJ and transform the front space into a dance floor – however, we do have a cut-off of 11pm and a maximum noise level requirement of 90dB(A). And for those that have an MC (or someone who’s reluctantly agreed to do a speech…) there’s a portable PA with 2 microphones.

  • Our entire venue is licensed to accommodate up to 100 people for any event. We also warmly welcome smaller gatherings. Our large outdoor undercover courtyard can accommodate 100 people standing and our front inside space can accommodate 80 people standing or 40 people seated.

  • Every event is different, so it does depend on what you’re planning.

    Please reach out to us via our enquiry form with details of your event below.

  • Most definitely. We’re a wheelchair accessible venue inside & out and have an accessible bathroom.

  • Always feel free to ask us about what you have in mind. Being licensed from 8am until 11pm (except Sundays which are 8am – 9pm), we’re flexible with what events we can accommodate. Typically we host weddings, engagement parties, product launches, workshops, corporate & business events, cocktail parties, wakes and milestone birthdays (from 25+).

    Unfortunately, while we love kids, we are a licensed venue so children's birthdays and any minors unaccompanied by adult supervision can’t be catered for.

Perfectly positioned in Melbourne’s vibrant Inner North.
