About The Gasometer Hotel

Catch up-and-coming bands under the stars at this classic Collingwood boozer, where the band room roof peels wide open. The Gaso keeps Melbourne's gritty live scene intact across two performance levels—a downstairs room for packed headline sets and an intimate stage upstairs. Regulars post up around the front bar for crisp tap pours, baskets of buffalo wings, and unexpectedly sharp espresso martinis mixed at speed by friendly, inclusive staff. Gender-neutral bathrooms reflect the easygoing crowd of touring acts, local fans, and after-work regulars mingling over cold frothies before the soundcheck kicks in.

  • Two Stages & Open-Air Gigs: Dual levels feature a main downstairs band room with a retractable roof for open-air gigs, plus an intimate upstairs stage.
  • Pub Snacks & Tap Beers: Pouring a wide tap list alongside unexpected cocktails like espresso martinis and classic buffalo wings.
  • Inclusive, Friendly Service: Fast, welcoming bartenders maintain an easygoing environment equipped with gender-neutral facilities.
