Many Melbourne locals are familiar with Northcote for its village vibe packed with Greek and Italian residents rubbing elbows with a variety of creative types and young families. Northcote serves as a gathering place for musicians putting on live shows at the Northcote Social Club and the Uniting Church.
It also attracts aspiring foodies with its unique restaurants and bars, and shoppers interested in fresh goods along High Street and heading into Thornbury.
The Westgarth Theatre draws movie-goers looking for a show in its art-deco environment. Green spaces provide a cosy place to relax.
All of this put together means that Northcote has a great deal of variety in venues that are only too eager to hire out their function rooms for private events of all kinds.
Northcote offers a wide variety of function rooms. Walking down a High Street you will find a cross-section of everything on offer in the district. Lounge spaces are prevalent, together with bars and restaurants that offer private rooms for hire. You’ll also be able to find studios, clubs, and even the occasional ballroom and a manicured garden available.
Northcote’s eminently pedestrian-friendly streets are far enough outside of the city centre to avoid the hustle and bustle.
They’re still hosting some top-class venues for a great deal cheaper than you’d find if you ventured further south. Unique artsy spaces, a great craft beer scene, and interesting locals make it one of the livelier options for a function of any flavour!
