About HIGH NOTE

Northcote’s music crowd heads here for custom audio warmth, sharp cocktails, and late supper just down from the theatre. The room balances slick design with neighborhood ease—turntables spinning, bartenders shaking martini variations, and plenty of breathing room. Outdoor heaters handle brisk Melbourne nights on the sidewalk patio, while inside, DJs and live players keep the energy dialed in over house cocktails and plates from the supper menu.

  • Audiophile Sound System: A dedicated listening lounge setup hosts live musicians and nightly DJs alongside craft cocktails.
  • Heated Outdoor Seating: Equipped with heaters to keep sidewalk seating comfortable through colder Melbourne nights.
  • Gig Proximity & Supper: Steps from local music stages like Northcote Theatre, serving late supper and drinks before or after shows.
  • Charismatic Bar Service: Attentive, charismatic hospitality from a team that knows their cocktail craft inside out.
