    • Ruby's is one of the best live music venues in Melbourne with a great ambience and decor. It is off the mountain, but its size let's you enjoy bands in a much more intimate setting making it well worth the trip. With live music every week and the likes of Sarah Blasko, James Reyne and Ash Grunwald playing there in the past it's worth checking out the website for details of upcoming gigs.

    • In the tradition of a true English Tavern, the entertainment at the Pig & Whistle kicks off on a Friday night at about 8pm after the busy dinner session is drawing to an end. In the bar section a small band will bring you some old classics and also some new stuff. Book for dinner and stay for some great English Ales and listen to the band. This is repeated on a Sunday from 3pm.
