About Sooki Lounge

Belgrave’s go-to music den pairs touring acts and local sound with intimate band room grit without the trek into central Melbourne. Set along the main strip, the multi-level layout transitions effortlessly from afternoon pints in the heated courtyard garden to up-close live sets by the main-floor stage. Down below, late-night DJ decks keep the room moving into the early hours. Regulars grab a table for gnocchi, soft-shell tacos, or cold brews on tap before catching gigs, ending the night over spicy tequila cocktails.

  • Intimate Live Stage: Street-level band room hosts local and touring acts inches from the crowd.
  • Multi-Level Setup: Multiple levels balance a main live room, downstairs DJ club, and long beer garden.
  • Dinner & Drinks Transition: Serves tacos, gnocchi, and house cocktails before gigs or local cinema stops.

  • Multi-Zone Late-Night Entertainment

    Distinct architectural levels separate the upstairs band room from a subterranean club space and outdoor beer garden.

    Down the stairs there is an intimate bar with a more night club vibe.
