Why it's worth checking out
The Corner Hotel sits on Swan Street in Richmond, a lively inner-eastern suburb of Melbourne — and is one of the most legendary live-music venues in the country. A genuine icon of the Australian music scene, its famous bandroom has hosted countless acts over the decades, while its much-loved rooftop offers drinks with a view, making it a beloved fixture for music fans and pub-goers alike.
The appeal is that combination of a legendary live-music program, a great pub atmosphere and the famous rooftop bar: seeing a gig in the Corner's bandroom is a rite of passage for Melbourne music lovers, while the rooftop is a brilliant spot for a drink. Its history, atmosphere and quality line-ups have made it a treasured institution.
With a 4.4 rating from more than 3,800 reviews, it's clearly a much-loved venue. The live-music program, show times, ticketing, the rooftop and opening hours vary entirely with what's on, so it's worth checking the current line-up and booking directly before you go — particularly for a specific gig — though for a drink on the rooftop, it's often just a matter of dropping in to this Richmond institution.
