Correction (4 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 on 4 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.

Which pubs and rooms around Collingwood are listed for live music, by their own sites or by AGFG? This page lists seven: two in Collingwood and five in Fitzroy, where Brunswick Street and Johnston Street carry most of the list.

Each entry quotes where the live music claim comes from, whether the venue’s own site or an AGFG tag, plus the opening hours it publishes. We have not listed lineups, set times or capacities that we could not read at the source, and the entries say so where they are missing.

Every venue was checked against OpenStreetMap and its own site or AGFG in early October. Where hours come from AGFG, the listing is undated, so check before you go.

Grace Darling Hotel — 114 Smith Street, Collingwood VIC 3066

The Grace Darling Hotel is on Smith Street, and AGFG tags it for live music. AGFG lists Tuesday and Wednesday 4:00 PM - 11:00 PM, Thursday 4:00 PM - 1:00 AM, Friday and Saturday 12:00 PM - 1:00 AM, Sunday 12:00 PM - 11:00 PM, and closed Monday. That listing is undated, so check before you go. Check its own site for who is playing.

Capacity / stage: We could not find a published room capacity, though AGFG lists groups and functions up to 100 guests.

Prince Patrick Hotel — 135 Victoria Parade, Collingwood VIC 3066

The Prince Patrick Hotel is on Victoria Parade, and AGFG tags it for live music. Its site lists the bar open Tuesday to Thursday 12pm - 10pm, Friday and Saturday 12pm - 11pm, and Sunday 12:00pm - 9:00pm. The same page lists the kitchen as open ‘ALL DAY’, Tuesday to Saturday 12pm - 9pm and Sunday 12pm - 8pm.

On the menu (copied from princepatrickhotel.com.au on 4 October 2026):

  • Kid Menu: $10

Catch: The live music tag comes from AGFG, so look at the venue’s own page before planning a night around a band.

Punters Club — 376 Brunswick Street, Fitzroy VIC 3065

Punters Club is on Brunswick Street, and its site headline reads LIVE MUSIC GOOD FOOD OPEN LATE. The site lists hours as Sunday to Thursday 12PM to 11pm and Friday to Saturday 12PM to 3Am. We have not copied a lineup here, and we could not find a published capacity.

Catch: The site headline tells you it is open late, so check the page on the day for who is playing.

The Old Bar — 74 Johnston Street, Fitzroy VIC 3065

The Old Bar is at 74-76 Johnston Street, and its site says 7 NIGHTS A WEEK LIVE MUSIC. The same site says it is open 7 days 3pm - 3am. That is the strongest everyday claim on this page, and it comes from the venue itself. We have not copied its lineup here, so check its site for who is playing.

Gig nights: The site claims live music seven nights a week, so the choice is which night, not whether.

Provincial Hotel — 299 Brunswick Street, Fitzroy VIC 3065

The Provincial Hotel is on Brunswick Street, and AGFG tags it for live music. Its site lists trading hours as Sunday to Thursday 12pm - 10pm and Friday to Saturday 12pm - 3am. Kitchen hours are Sunday to Thursday 12pm - 9pm and Friday to Saturday 12pm - 10pm, and the site mentions vegan burgers.

Catch: The live music tag is AGFG’s, and we found no gig program on the hotel’s own site, so check before planning a night around a band.

Royal Derby Hotel — 446 Brunswick Street, Fitzroy VIC 3065

The Royal Derby Hotel is on Brunswick Street, and AGFG tags it for live music. AGFG lists Wednesday to Friday 3:00 PM - 12:00 AM, Saturday and Sunday 12:00 PM - 12:00 AM, and closed Monday and Tuesday. That listing is undated. The venue’s site shows a food menu, a kids menu and a drink menu.

Catch: Hours are AGFG’s, so confirm with the hotel, and look for a lineup on its own site because we did not find one.

Uptown Jazz Café — 177 Brunswick Street, Fitzroy VIC 3065

Uptown Jazz Café is at 177 Brunswick Street, and its own site prints the venue as Uptown Jazz Cafe Upstairs. The site gives a door time and a music start time for its nights. We could not find published opening hours or a capacity.

Door: The site prints a door time and a start time, so read both on its page for the night you want.
