The Merri Creek Tavern

Northcote, VIC

From the moment you enter the Merri Creek Tavern, it becomes clear that this homey establishment embodies the very soul of the inner north.

LIVE MUSIC is what this cosy local hangout thrives on. Serving as a hub for Melbourne’s burgeoning music scene, its intimate setting is the ideal spot to gather with friends and experience performances from new and established local, touring and international artists.

FAMOUS FOR its lively and inviting atmosphere. This boutique watering hole truly is the perfect place to catch up with friends and listen to some of Melbourne’s best indie bands, all the while sipping on a variety of local beers, independent wines and classic cocktails.

INFAMOUS FOR  their Appalachian-style Old-Time Jam Session every Saturday, when pickers of all skill levels are welcome to join in, are known to draw punters in from the street!

Located in the heart of Westgarth, the snug confines of a small band room play host to a diverse lineup of Melbourne’s top indie musicians, creating an intimate and unforgettable experience.

In this unique establishment, vinyl records are the soundtrack to the cosy bar area, while the back room comes alive with the sounds of live bands. With an impressive selection of beers on offer, you’ll be spoiled for choice as you take in the welcoming atmosphere and friendly vibes. If you’re feeling peckish, you can easily order in from the many nearby eateries which range from Sri Lankan, Indian, Italian, Thai, Japanese and good old-fashioned fish’n’chips.

Regular events include the Old-Time Jam Session, laid back gigs every Sunday evening, and Enjoy Your Stay – a free Monday night double-header featuring some of this town’s (and the country’s) best up-and-coming pop, punk and indie acts.

Whether you’re in the mood for an intimate conversation or an energetic night of music and drinks, the Tav has something for everyone.

Head on over to 111 High Street in Northcote and check it out for yourself, they’re open every day.
