An old school sound system found nowhere else in town.

INFAMOUS FOR: operating as a community-driven space like an RSL or local bowls club. Memberships are available with additional perks, enticing patrons to directly evolve this community of sound and creativity.
What was once the Pontian Club, Melbourne’s beloved Greek hub on Victoria Street, has transformed into the historical and innovative Quadraphonic Club. Its nostalgic feel and contemporary acoustics make the space stand out among Melbourne’s live venues, offering a live music experience like no other.
It took its name and inspiration from the quadraphonic audio format, or 4.0 surround sound, an early ‘70s invention where speakers are positioned at four corners of a listening space. This antique format has been revitalised for the venue, bringing cutting-edge acoustics that are a mix of the old and new.
Patrons’ first steps through the doors bring them to the whiskey den and DJ booth, leading to the main attraction – a spacious, expansive performance hall geared to unleash unparalleled sound upon their ears. It’s designed for everything from high-octane dance parties to intimate, meditative listening. After all, their motto directs all to “listen carefully”.
Being very open to creative versatility, the club extends an invite to its patrons with its membership system. Joining the program will give members 10% off purchases and discounts on ticketed events. Ultimately, the Quadraphonic Club is a space shaped directly by the people and their love for sound.
