Andy L. • June 3, 2013Intimate & ornate. Beautiful theatre much like the theaters of the West End. Love the autograph wall backstage. #History

Warren F. • August 27, 2016I like the whole venue the staff was super friendly & were lovely at assisting us. The only negative thing I can say was there was not enough leg room as my knees were touching the chair in front!

Rachel R. • February 5, 2017A really fun night out as long as you anticipate that some performances will be better than others...

Tom W. • September 29, 2011An amazing venue, the roof is just surreal. Well worth a visit, no matter what's on.

Pedro M. • February 5, 2015One of the best venues in Melbourne. Great space and decor, plenty of space to stand or sit and you can feel a bit of history inside.

Matt J. • June 15, 2013Beautiful vinyl seating. Well worn and a sign of many bum on seats over the years but does make you feel at home

Tomfoolery • October 31, 2014A beautiful grand old building. Main hall room is incredibly cavernous, and check out those chandeliers

Mike S. • April 29, 2012The flowers are pricey but good

Open House Melbourne • July 15, 2013Signal Arts Studio @signalarts used to direct the Flinders Street trains, now it houses an arts program for young people aged 13-20 #LoveOHM

Tomfoolery • September 17, 2014Amazing theatre hidden on Swanston St. It's a treat to see something here

Praveen V. • August 26, 2014Small and intimate. Good view of the stage no matter where you're seated. Great place for stand-up comedy shows.

J • October 9, 2022Quirky venue with a waiting area that feels like a friend’s living room

Daniel K. • March 30, 2013Fantastic beer selection (just like Cookie) and the smokey lamb cutlets are amazing.

Lady-Sally • August 15, 2013So Melbourne- get there early for the best spot if ur seeing a show

Jack P. • February 13, 2011Great place. Awesome karaoke, really like the Cyberdam. Its similar to the ones in Tokyo

Deejay M. • August 4, 2013One of my favorite venues in Melbourne, intimate and sophisticated with quality performances. Book in advance to get seated otherwise you will have to stand at the bar.

A. • February 8, 2017The rock and roll bar in the CBD. Come here to check out a band, or party to some rock and roll, or just grab a long neck of Melbourne Bitter and hang out with the weirdos at the bar

Niki E. • September 24, 2010A great venue for live music... ( as long as it's an 18+ gig) Decent size and a good view from pretty much anywhere!

Emma D. • May 11, 2011An excellent venue for a large function. Enquire with Belinda Burrows. Bar staff are excellent, food is great. And, of course, the music- go retro, or go home.

James T. • November 26, 2010Awesome choonage, but don't expect courtesy from the clientele at the bar.

Janee d. • November 17, 2010Great drink specials before midnight. Awesome DJs all night. Love the range of RnB across the weekend.

Nathan L. • October 14, 2013Happy hour!!! Good beer and wine specials. Lots of good areas to hang out.

Simone • January 20, 2023Slushies with optional alcohol!
