Rooftops, warehouses and galleries along Victoria Street
Mostly revolving around Victoria Street, Abbotsford has more venues than one would initially expect. Not everything is on the main street, either. Most of these venues add a bonus $100 bar tab if the enquiry comes through Partystar. A few are $200 rather than $100.
None of the 14 spaces in Abbotsford add a security charge for a standard party, where 11% do across Melbourne.
