Words by Kaya Martin

From live bands to tribute nights, Stay Gold has everything you could need in a music venue.

Live music: is Stay Gold’s bread and butter. Mostly, it’s the heavy stuff – punk, metal, hardcore and alternative – but  they’re also known to rock with a DJ from time to time.

Famous for: the superior music venue munch. Post up on the patio, catch your breath and grab a slice from Ollie’s pizza to power up between sets.

Infamous for: the nice, but no nonsense security guards. Act like a bozo and you’ll be treated like one. Sorry, not sorry!

A killer soundsystem, plastic cups (AKA no glass shards lodged into your feet at the end of the night) and a big-but-not-too-big crowd area where you can mosh to your heart’s content. 

That being said, when you’re seeing bands that skew towards the more aggressive end of the spectrum, things tend to get a bit rowdy. By that, I mean there’s a chance you might (accidentally) get kicked in the head. We’ve all been there. Thankfully, the extremely friendly Stay Gold are dedicated to making sure everyone feels safe and has a good time.

This means checking out for people in the pit, making sure any creeps and weirdos get kicked to the curb, and yes, even putting you on waters if you’re looking a little stumbly. That bartender has definitely single-handedly prevented many a mind-splitting hangover, and for that, we’ll always be grateful. 

Another thing Stay Gold can brag about is its commitment to being fully accessible. No matter what level of ability you’re rocking, if you give the team a shout, they’ll make sure you’re comfortable. 

Also, do you really think we’d forget to mention those crunchy-chewy pizza pies from Ollie’s? No ma’am. I honestly can’t think of a better gig food. If you pull up on a Tuesday night, they even have a bottomless option: $49 to eat as much pizza as your hedonistic body can handle, plus unlimited beer and wine. As a wise man once said, “Club going up on a Tuesday.”
