THE OLD BAR -
Keeping the filth in Fitzroy for over eight years.
The Old Bar is a beacon of dirt in the sparkly clean ether of the Melbourne bar and music scene. Striving to showcase a vast plethora of diverse bands and performances. What started as a blues and roots bar has developed into a venue dedicated to keeping the Melbourne music scene alive and kicking.
Alongside The Old Bar’s regular residencies, tribute nights, national and international touring gigs, we regularly flaunt the talent of our local bands. With a décor that matches the name, there’s no bullshit with the Old Bar: two bars, fireplace, beer garden, record store, knick-knacks, bric a brac and car parts.
With a 1am music license and a 3am bar license, the Old Bar’s versatile band room has a capacity of 180 people, encompassing the whole downstairs venue, which can be reduced into a smaller, more intimate setting for all you acoustic musos out there. Getting gigs at the bar is easy just drop in for a beer and hand a demo into the nice folks behind the bar or post a demo to p.o box 1515 Collingwood 3066, call on the band bonkings line on 9419 9008 and ask for Joel, visit them at www.myspace.com/theoldbar or send Joel a message at joel[at]bargallery[dot]com[dot]au
Conserve water, drink beer: The Old Bar.
