Melbourne’s underground rave scene goes literally underground at Stamina.

The Saturday night series has carved out a space for hard techno and hard bounce beneath Flinders Street, transforming century-old tunnels into a proper industrial nightclub. Stamina comes from the team behind Nerve nightclub, bringing that same energy to the historic Banana Alley Vaults with festival-grade production in an authentically gritty setting.

The Banana Alley Vaults were built in 1891 alongside Flinders Street Viaduct, originally serving as storage for merchants. The space has been reimagined as a nightclub with three distinct rooms housed within the brick tunnels, each with its own bar. The venue features NEXO sound systems and can hold over 1,000 people, with production standards that match international festival stages.

Drink specials run all night, including two for $25 vodka Red Bulls, $12 basics, $11 Coronas, $6 Sour Puss shots and $5 Stamina shots. The venue sits directly beneath Flinders Street Station, accessible from the north bank of the Yarra River. With three kilometres of neon lights threading through the historic brickwork, the space merges Melbourne’s industrial past with contemporary rave culture.

The weekly event has established itself as Melbourne’s dedicated home for harder electronic music, pushing BPMs well beyond standard club fare. Each Saturday brings different lineups across the three rooms, with residents and guests rotating through to keep the programming fresh. The venue’s architecture lends itself perfectly to the industrial aesthetic, with domed brick ceilings and tunnel-like corridors creating natural separation between rooms.
