Cherry

10 Best Venues & Places for Live Music in Melbourne | Condé Nast Traveler

"Nightly live music ranges from soul to hard rock, but what Cherry Bar is most famous for is its clientele. When big acts are in town, they inevitably end up at this raging venue in the Central Business District (CBD). The Black Keys and Gary Clark, Jr., have played here; Jack Black once danced on the stage all night; Axl Rose had the staff unplug the jukebox; and Tom Morello played DJ sets every night during one of his tours with Bruce Springsteen. Unofficial wakes for Bowie, Lemmy, and Prince all took place here, and once—after a particularly big night—Liam Gallagher offered to buy the bar. It’s that kind of place." - Carrie Hutchinson
