Brunswick Street, Smith Street and Johnston Street venues for hire
We love Fitzroy for its live music scene and old pubs. Lots of function rooms are upstairs, above a working bar, and the noise limits can sometimes be pretty generous. Most of these venues add a bonus $100 bar tab if the enquiry comes through Partystar.
Fitzroy venues usually want at least 35 guests before they take a booking. Across Melbourne the usual floor is 20.
