Our engagement party was held in the city bar function room upstairs in late February. The venue was the perfect size for 70 to 80 people. The service, food and staff were amazing! From the organisation of the event, right through to the day itself. The only downside we faced on the day, was the heat. The beautiful atrium roof boasts natural light throughout but does not protect the area from the heat. The day hit just over 30 degrees so the weather was not our friend and the air-conditioning was only able to keep one side of the room at a comfortable temperature. I recommend this venue for events as it was beautiful and I had such an enjoyable experience, but I would recommend cooler months incase Melbourne decides to throw some extreme weather your way during your function. Also, a shout out to Taz our barman for the day, who did an amazing job and put up with our shenanigans throughout the afternoon. I hope your management see this and know what a fantastic job you did!

I feel absolutely compelled to write and say just how fantastic our Corner Hotel experience was last night. Some friends and I attended a concert and needed wheelchair access- the manager Soss(?) helped us with parking, entry, ticketing, introduced us to the bouncers and showed us the best place to watch the show and repeatedly checked in on us just to make sure all was ok. We have never had service and care from a venue like this, ever… in fact, it’s usually pretty appalling for accessible access/seating. Your website alone is so detailed it helped with any pre-show anxiety and you more than proved there was nothing to worry about. I could not fault The Corner and I can’t wait to go back. We also had dinner in the front bar which was delicious and service was great there too. Thank you so much for ensuring a hassle free and thoroughly enjoyable night from woah to go. It’s much appreciated. -Sally

OK do not go to the Corner Hotel for its food. 4 of us seeing a band who were performing an early show so thought would have lunch beforehand. Big mistake. Ordered vegetarian pumpkin risotto which was actually inedible. Thankfully I had ordered some chips too so even though they were pretty average at least they were edible. The others had chicken parmas which they said were average. Also had coffees (flat whites and soy lattes) which were average too. In fact just come here to see a band! So the band area itself is standing room only and we were packed in like sardines, so if you can cope with that great, if not then definitely don't visit the Corner Hotel. But regardless of venue it's always good to support live music venues particularly those that feature Australian artists. So do yourself a favour, as Molly says (note statue of him) and go at least once.

Went to see Cat Empire. First time at the Corner Hotel (for me, not them. 😜). The fella behind the bar when I first entered was excellent: had a great vibe and energy, and a very accomplished and talented whistler (becoming a lost skill). The Barramundi Laksa was delicious (fish was cooked beautifully and the soup very flavourful). ... and, of course, The Cat Empire were outstanding. I felt that thrive just as much in a small venue such as this as they do with their larger audiences. Or maybe it was because the Corner Hotel is special to The Cat Empire. I'd never heard of the Pierce Brothers beforehand, but was very entertained by their high energy and great tunes. It was great to chat with Jack briefly after their set. Definitely a great act to open for The Cat Empire, as they raised the crowd energy up, and then TCE ran with Ur and took it higher.

A very accessoble place for gigs! I visited for Groove Tunes in my mobility scooter. There's a wheelchair accessible entrance around the corner. An accessible bar was also next to the bar. An elevator goes to the rooftop (which is GREAT! So many Melbourne venues, especially rooftop venues, are stairs for ableds, only!) Screens next to the stage showed lyric vids and an auslan interpreter was there for the gig. There is also a lift for disabled artists to safely access the stage. Unsure if all Corner gigs will be as accessible but there will still be an accessible enterance, elevator, lift to the stage, and the staff were SO friendly and helpful to my needs. Highly reccommend.

5 stars for the upstairs bar and restaurant. 1 star for the live music venue downstairs. At full capacity, I turned a corner and it was like walking through the gates of hell. They need to sell less tickets. The restaurant is really nice, great food and really nicely put together. Interior design is top notch. Downstairs, who thought placing columns throughout the viewing area was a good idea? You will be soaked in the sweat of a stranger who favours organic deodorant. The sound is atrocious. Upstairs has a fantastic ambience. Never have I been so torn when writing an interview.
