The Leadbeater Hotel is your classic front-bar-meets-bandroom setup, where a proper neighbourhood boozer meets one of Melbourne’s most respected live music rooms tucked behind it.
Live Music since 2019, The Leady has carved out serious cred on the local circuit, with its bandroom hosting everyone from Teenage Dads and Great Gable to Eliza & The Delusionals, Holly Hebe, RaRa Viper, Mid Drift and Playlunch. The venue recently completed a full overhaul of its lighting rig alongside significant sound upgrades including new midfill speakers, foldbacks and processors, making the room sharper than ever for both punters and performers.
Famous For the weekly specials. Hospo Monday brings extended happy hour all night, $1 wings and free pool. Tuesdays deliver two-for-one mains. Wednesday is trivia with $23 parmas and schnitzels. Thursday means steak night with $15 rump. Friday has two-for-one flatbreads. Saturday lunch runs $20 burger and pot until 5pm. Happy hour runs Tuesday to Sunday from 4pm to 7pm with $10 pints, $7 wines and $8 house spirits.
Infamous For punching well above its weight for international and interstate heavy acts. This autumn alone, the bandroom hosts Finnish grindcore legends Rotten Sound, Aussie thrash pioneers Mortal Sin celebrating 40 years of Mayhemic Destruction with Hidden Intent, American Idol finalist Thunderstorm Artis, CashTrippy’s 2026 Australia tour, plus Mammon’s Throne and Aquilus for an album launch.
With cold pints, proper pub grub and a bandroom that keeps delivering the goods, The Leadbeater Hotel is essential for anyone chasing live music in Melbourne’s inner east.
