Baxter's

Baxter's sits on Brunswick Street in Fitzroy, one of Melbourne's most iconic and characterful inner-north suburbs. A much-loved live-music bar, it's a genuine fixture of the local scene — combining a great program of live music with good drinks and a fun, characterful atmosphere, the kind of in-the-know venue that music lovers seek out.

The appeal is that combination of quality live music, good drinks and a lively, characterful setting in a prime Fitzroy location, ideal for catching a gig, a drink and a great night out. An intimate live-music bar with a genuine program really stands out, even on Fitzroy's characterful Brunswick Street, and Baxter's has clearly won over a devoted following.

With a 4.6 rating from more than 380 reviews, it's clearly a much-loved venue. The live-music program, opening hours, drinks and any ticketing vary entirely with what's on, so it's worth checking the current schedule before you go — particularly for a specific act or event — though for live music, a drink and a great atmosphere, it's well worth seeing who's playing at Baxter's in Fitzroy.
