Brunswick Ballroom
The newly refurbished Brunswick Ballroom is located in the old Metropolis House on Sydney Road and is destined to take the mantle as one Melbourne’s most dynamic and exciting performance venues. This extraordinary venue has been re-imagined, refurbished and renamed and since opening on the 25th of February 2021, the Ballroom has already hosted the likes of Courtney Barnett, Tim Rogers, Eddie Perfect, Phil Jamieson, Gareth Liddiard, Stella Donnelly, The Murlocs, Bitch Diesel, Ross Wilson, Cool Sounds, Tripod, Grace Cummings and plenty more. The upstairs ballroom, accessed via the dramatic staircase, features superb stained glass domes evoking the work of Australian artist Leonard French, before expanding out onto an open-air balcony that takes in the urban streetscape below and the sights of Melbourne’s skyline. Inspired by the iconic Continental Café of the 1990’s in Prahran, the Brunswick Ballroom is one of Melbourne’s most eclectic and diverse entertainment and events venues.
The beautifully restored Brunswick Ballroom is spearheaded by impresario Andrew Kay AM together with actor, musician, and renaissance man Will Ewing, who takes on the role of Venue Director.
