This month, our favourite CBD loft is serving up a delightful mix of banging DJ nights and curious live acts.
The Toff has a lot to offer. Not only is it centrally located enough to unite northsiders and southsiders on a weeknight (a Melbourne miracle), but it’s also a vibey atmosphere, impeccably crafted cocktails and a calendar jam-packed with goodies every week.
In September, you’ll find a new group featuring four big underground artists, a celebration of one of Melbourne’s best bashes and the launch of an exciting new local project. Plus, the Toff is leaning heavily into free events this month, so you’ll even be able to save a few pennies.
Here’s what’s going down at The Toff in Town this month.
