Located beneath 0 (zero) Langridge Street, this micro-club promises a proper underground experience with a Funktion-One sound system and capacity capped at just 100 punters.

With Melbourne’s nightlife landscape constantly evolving, The Collingwood Basement represents a return to the intimate club experience that helped shape the city’s electronic music scene. The venue’s micro-club format and basement location echo the underground spaces that have historically nurtured dance music communities across the globe.
The Collingwood reputation as a nightlife hub continues to grow, with The Collingwood Basement joining the neighbourhood’s expanding roster of after-dark destinations.
The basement belongs to, and sits below Melbourne bar, New Guernica, which moved to the Smith St location in 2021.
Originally housed on Little Collins Street and previously F4, the multi-room nightclub and bar was renowned as one of the city’s most charismatic bars and the go-to for a night of local and international electronic disco, hosting the likes of Jamie XX, George Michael, Solange Knowles, Honey Dijon, and Queens Of The Stone Age over the years.
Following the devastating impact of the pandemic with an endless wave of restrictions and lockdowns, as well as a building redevelopment proposal, the New Guernica owners Steve Costa, Dominic Lococo, Jaff Tzaferis and Kyle Bush made the decision to close the CBD venue and look for an alternate location in Melbourne.
