THE CORNER HOTEL

57 Swan St, Richmond VIC 3121

Ph (03) 9427 9198

The Corner Hotel is a Melbourne institution. So many great bands have graced its band room, I love this place. The downstairs bar is a little on the dingy side, however the rooftop as huge, and is a great place to hang for a sneaky beer before a footy game or a show. Wintertime is still game on for the rooftop as they have a pretty good amount of cover and lots of heaters.

Food-wise, the Corner offers standard pub grub (but with some good vego options), they have a $14 pot and parma deal on Wednesday nights and other specials during the week. The menu is a little heavy on the deep fried food. It’s more a place you come to drink and see bands rather than sit down and have a nice meal.


The Corner always draws a really eclectic crowd as you get punters, locals and a few footy heads (who aren’t feral enough for the Precinct or The Swan) which I like. The staff are usually friendly, the rooftop does get pretty busy on Friday and Saturday nights, and they always have a great line up of bands playing. Get on the mailing
list if you’re not already!!
