How we read reviews →A long-standing Northcote live-music institution. jazz jams, open mics and touring bands most nights.
A quirky, grungy, unpretentious old-school Northcote dive bar built around live music. reviewers describe it as busy yet relaxed, with a friendly, welcoming crowd that feels close-knit rather than anonymous. The front bar is wheelchair accessible when the doors are open, but the band room and toilets are down steps and inaccessible.
Live bands most nights of the week across genres (reggae, jazz, funk, blues), a 1st-and-3rd-Tuesday jazz jam session, a fortnightly open mic night, a monthly ukulele open mic, and a monthly 'HOMEBASS' night. No kitchen. reviewers note there's no food, though plenty of options are available nearby.
Not applicable. a live-music bar, not a cuisine-driven venue.
Repeatedly praised for affordable, cheap drinks and decent gig prices. reviewers flag it as good value for a live-music night out.
