Correction (3 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources between 2 October 2026 and 3 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
Three places in and around Boronia had live music on the public record that we could stand behind. The Boronia Hotel lists a monthly daytime seniors show and names its next three acts. Boronia RSL’s event listings show Friday-night bands. Hard Road Brewing sits in Bayswater, not Boronia, and says live music is part of what happens there.
Only the hotel and the RSL gave us dates, and none of the three publishes a weekly gig guide that we could verify, so we print the dates each one lists and nothing more. What we can give you is what each venue says about itself, where it is, and what is on the menu if you are keen to eat before the show.
The quick picks
| If you’re after | Head to | Order this | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| A daytime seniors show with listed dates | Boronia Hotel | Morning Melodies seniors meal, show, tea or coffee and dessert | $22 |
| Friday-night bands, per its event listings | Boronia RSL | see below | not printed here |
| A brewery that lists live music (Bayswater) | Hard Road Brewing | Roadie Burger (+ side of fries OR salad) | $24 |
Boronia Hotel — 112 Boronia Road, Boronia VIC 3155
The hotel’s What’s On page lists “Morning Melodies every month” as a seniors meal, show, tea or coffee and dessert for $22, with a call-to-book line. It dates the next three shows: 13 October (Joe Piastrino, Legends of Rock), 10 November (Lino Ettia, Dancing Thru the Decades) and 8 December (Gavin Chatelier, Legends and Long Songs). The page says all sessions start at 10:30am and that artists are subject to change without notice. That is a daytime event for seniors, not a nightly band room, and we have not verified any other gigs.
Separately, the Australian Good Food Guide lists the hotel’s “TAB and entertainment” lounge as open daily 10AM - 4AM, and the hotel’s own site prints the same line. The line does not say what the entertainment is, so we do not claim music for it. The bistro has its own, shorter hours.
The hotel’s What’s On page also prints weekly specials, including a Classic Parma at $19 on Tuesday, and a two-course seniors lunch at $17.90. A parma is the Melbourne pub name for a chicken parmigiana.
On the menu (copied from boroniahotel.com.au on 3 October 2026):
- Morning Melodies seniors meal, show, tea or coffee and dessert: $22
- Classic Parma (Tuesday Parma Night): $19
- Porterhouse steak with chips, salad and a sauce (Wednesday Steak Night): $26
- Surf & Turf: porterhouse with prawns, garlic sauce, salad and chips (Thursday): $29.90
- Kids Schnitz and Parma: $10
Gig nights: Morning Melodies is the only music event we could verify at the hotel: 13 October, 10 November and 8 December 2026 at 10:30am, with the seniors meal and show at $22, per its What’s On page.
Boronia RSL — 198 Dorset Road, Boronia VIC 3155
Boronia RSL is at 198 Dorset Road. Its event listings show Friday-night bands: AllEvents lists Spare Change on Friday 28 August at 6:00pm, Chris Nomad and Some Friends on Friday 4 September at 6:30pm and Jason Resch on Friday 11 September at 6:30pm, all in 2026 and all already past. The club’s Facebook page, read on 2 October 2026, listed Gerry and the Springers on Friday 6 November at 6:30pm.
We took those dates from the listings, not from the club’s own site, and we do not say there is a band every Friday. The club’s bistro page lists meals 6:00 – 8:00 pm Thursday and Friday and says booking is advisable for bistro meals.
Gig nights: Only the Friday dates in the listings above, and we could not read a door price for any of them.
Hard Road Brewing — 31 Holloway Drive, Bayswater VIC 3153
Hard Road Brewing is at 31 Holloway Drive, Bayswater, so it is a short trip out of Boronia rather than a Boronia venue. Its site says “From live music to beer launches, paint & sips to fundraisers, there’s always something exciting happening”. The Australian Good Food Guide’s feature list for the brewery also includes “Live Music” and “Seats: 100”, which is a seating figure, not a published band-room capacity.
The site lists hours as Thursday 12-10, Friday 12 - 11, Saturday 12-11 and Sunday 12-8. We found a What’s On page showing a trivia night on Thu 8 Oct, but not a band listing, so we cannot tell you which nights have music.
The menu is burger-led: a Roadie Burger at $24, a Haloumi Burger at $21 and a Schnitzel Sanga at $20, each with a side of fries or salad. A sanga is Australian for sandwich.
On the menu (copied from hardroadbrewing.com on 3 October 2026):
- Roadie Burger (+ side of fries OR salad): $24
- Haloumi Burger (vegetarian; vegan option) (+ side of fries OR salad): $21
- Schnitzel Sanga (+ side of fries OR salad): $20
- Kids Burger (+ small serve of chips): $10
Catch: Check the brewery’s What’s On page before you go, because we could not verify a gig schedule for it.
