Corner Hotel

The verdict

The Corner Hotel, a short stagger from Richmond Station, is one of Melbourne's most popular live music haunts. The Corner has been serving up some of the city's coolest gigs for 15 years now, with the sticky-floored gig venue downstairs and a great big roof terrace up top. Whether it's Scotland's Chvrches, hometown boy Dan Sultan or the US' Public Enemy, The Corner keeps things on the edgier side and draws in a young crowd of cool hipsters. There's something cool about the rumbling of the trains trundling by too, and the pub grub's pretty ace as well, whether it's a classic parma or a fat steak sanga.
