Our story

We've been supporting local and international talent since 2006 and intend to keep the good times rolling!

Founded in 2006, Open Studio Bar became one of Melbourne’s most iconic and intimate live music venues.
Known for its famous crêpes, 40+ cocktails, and romantic undercover courtyard, it offered a warm, inclusive, and distinctly European atmosphere — a little slice of the old continent in the heart of Northcote.

Though the bricks and mortar venue has closed, Open Studio lives on as a pop-up experience, continuing its legacy of music, community, and creativity in unexpected places.
