31 Sturt Street, Southbank VIC 3006
this place fills most nights of the week, leaning hardest into saturdays, wednesdays and mondays, with a mix that runs from folk and acoustic through to jazz, experimental and singer-songwriter sets. expect a door charge or ticket most times, and keep an eye out for julian lage, piers lane and a steady run of mozart, pleyel and salieri turning up again.
