This truly iconic restaurant, bar and live music venue has a candle-lit interior and a great selection of local beers and ales. Keep yourself full with their rustic and simple but well-executed pub grub – they’ve got everything from gnocchi to steak. There’s also a fireplace in operation to keep you warm and cosy during these bitterly cold winter months while you enjoy your craft beer and live music.
Muller, along with Noel Fermanis, opened up the venue in 2003. “When it started it seemed like not many places were really doing an intimate original band/ music [venue],” he told us. “Certainly not in the suburbs – Northcote was the suburbs back then, people didn’t realise how close it was. Friends used to suggest that they’d come out and visit if we had a courtesy bus!”
Since the early 2000s, however, Northcote has truly become a staple of Melbourne’s night life and music scene – and Wesley Anne are certainly one of the venues that have contributed to the rise of Northcote.
