About this space

The Purple Emerald Lounge Bar is an intimate cocktail bar in Northcote with friendly service, a relaxed vibe, and happy people.

The main room features comfy couches and lots of space for small and large groups. Music is a big part of our atmosphere and we always have nice tunes playing. It’s never too loud for a conversation either.

Step outside to our gorgeous Sundeck, decorated with fairy lights and beautiful flowers. There are lots of booths and large tables for various group sizes. The Sundeck has a retractable roof and is completely weatherproof, with gas heating if needed. There is always a huge demand for the sundeck, so bookings and reservations can be made for this area. A total capacity of 150 people.

The Main room has it's own smoking area, sound system, projector, a microphone for speeches, and it's own bar. The multimedia projector can be used to project a slideshow of your favorite photos, at no extra charge.

The Sundeck is weather proof and has gas heating. This area is extremely popular given its outdoor ambiance and is beautifully decorated with fairy lights, and tea light candles. We have a retractable roof to provide coverage from rain, or have it open to reveal the beautiful stars!

We normally do not charge a room hire fee. Certain criteria need to be met, but in most cases we are happy to assist with your event.

We have been holding functions for over 20 years, almost every weekend, and can guarantee you will have a great night. We work with all types of budgets, so have a chat with us. We are very dedicated with all our functions and always receive great reviews, feedback and recommendations. We provide a complete event service and our years of experience means we can help plan your event with ease and simplicity.

The space was pretty good, the food was lovely, and the staff was accommodating.

The food service was slow. We booked for 2.5 hours and wanted the food to come out quickly. The picture slideshow was slow, so maybe a software would fix that.

The Venue was amazing and not to far from the city. The cocktails that were offered were yummy and cheap! The venue staff made the whole night so special. I would highly recommend this venue! Thank you to the staff at the Purple Emerald Lounge and to Phil for making my 21st one to remember

We had just over 100 people for my 50th birthday party and it couldn’t have gone better. Great location, perfect party venue, excellent staff and easy to organise. Our guests had a great time, and my birthday night was everything I hoped it would be.

Staff were very friendly and accommodating, especially when we asked for lower music on the sundeck due to sensory issues. Was great to be able to hire out the sundeck for exclusive use without a minimum spend requirement. Guests enjoyed the venue and had a great time.

Finding good table spot for blowing out the birthday cake candles was a bit awkward. Maybe a small folding table to be brought out during larger functions would be helpful?
