Corner Hotel

"A Richmond icon, The Corner is considered one of the top live music venues in Melbourne, hosting a plethora of bands over the years. But a great band room and awesome gigs aren’t the only reason to get down to The Corner. The historic establishment boasts a shiny new rooftop bar. Although a singular noun doesn’t really cut it since this vibrant newly renovated space offers a variety of areas. Cosy inside dining opens out onto a lush open-air courtyard. Original steel framed windows overlook the vibrancy of Swan Street, while a sleek separate function space offers an intimate setting. Multiple bars ensure you won’t go thirsty and a fresh approach to classic pub meals means you definitely won’t go hungry. It really is the ideal place for a summer’s day beer." - Shelby De Fazio

"When a promoter has a band that’s too small for the Forum, they’ll often book them at Corner Hotel in Richmond. About 800 bodies can cram into this popular rock venue, which is often where popular Australian bands launch albums or play warm-up shows for much bigger tours. The genres here range from pop and rock to blues and country; the likes of Andrew W.K., Charles Bradley, Peaches, Dinosaur Jr., and David Hasselhoff all have lifted the roof." - Carrie Hutchinson
