The Old Bar is one of those Fitzroy staples where the beer is cold, the walls are covered in gig posters, and the regulars are as friendly as the bartenders. The room fills up with a mix of locals, music lovers and those chasing a midweek catch-up, all drawn by the promise of live bands and DJs spinning indie favourites. It’s a no-nonsense spot: dimly lit, bit grungy and all the better for it. This is best for anyone who wants good tunes and a genuine Fitzroy night out, whether you’re new to the scene or just after a cheap pint and some new music. Compared to other live music nights around Melbourne, Good Music Thursdays keep things easygoing and affordable, so you don’t need to plan ahead or dress up. Just rock up, grab a drink and see where the night takes you.
