Softbelly
(Lounge Area)

367 Little Bourke Street, Melbourne

About the Venue

Softbelly is a delightfully retro establishment and is the ideal place to have your party, corporate function, presentation or just a place to meet up in private. With plush lounges and an old-school feel, the lights are dimmed late at night to create a warm candle-lit atmosphere, but we encourage you to decorate and rearrange the space for your event as desired.

There is a large screen with a projector so that we can show sporting events, presentations via laptops or embarrassing slide shows of baby photos at a 21st Birthday Party. The stage lets you have small bands or other gigs. We supply the mixing desk, mics and sound system.

We have a large range of local and imported beers, and plenty of reds and whites of good quality to cater for all tastes. We can provide catering for your function in the form of a party platter and if your guests are still hungry during the night we do have simple counter meals and share plates for their cravings. Softbelly also has a list of cocktails for those of you who wish to celebrate in style.

Softbelly works with you to make the event you are planning easy to set up and as cheap as possible as there is no hire cost, only a small minimum bar tab, and no hidden costs. We do all the work and all you have to do is turn up.
