Why it's worth checking out

Hope St Radio is a bar and live radio venue broadcasting from Collingwood Yards at 35 Johnston Street, Collingwood. Established in 2017, it combines an on-site radio project with a place to visit in person, offering a different kind of night out for locals and visitors interested in music, community and events.

The venue welcomes walk-ins from Thursday to Sunday, from 3pm until late, while bookings are recommended for dining. It also hosts upcoming and previous events, with event enquiries directed to Pete at pete@hopestradio.community. There is no detailed food or drinks menu provided on the website, so the clearest reason to visit is the combination of radio, dining and programming rather than a particular dish or signature offering.

Hope St Radio may suit solo visitors wanting to listen to the station, small groups meeting for a drink or meal, and people looking to attend an event in the Collingwood Yards setting. Its programming also reflects a strong community and political outlook, including a stated solidarity with Palestine. The venue acknowledges that it broadcasts on the land of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nations and recognises that Indigenous sovereignty has never been ceded.

Spot Score

The Spot Score is our composite of five signals — two about the venue's standing with visitors and three about how complete and current this listing is. It is not a visitor rating and not a verdict on the food or the experience. The 4.2 from 271 reviews is Google's visitor rating, shown separately and never altered by us.
