Correction (10 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 9 October 2026.
This page answers a narrow question: which places in Mckinnon are listed as having live music? The honest count is two, Mckinnon Hotel and Asena Melbourne, both on McKinnon Road. It is a thin page, and we have not padded it.
Both venues were checked against two independent sources. AGFG lists Live Music for each, but we could not find a published gig calendar, capacity or door price for either, so this page names no bands, nights or set times. Check with the venue before you head out.
The quick picks
| If you’re after | Head to | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Pub with AGFG live music tag | Mckinnon Hotel | 251 McKinnon Rd, Mckinnon |
| Turkish dining, live music listed | Asena Melbourne | 266 McKinnon Road, Mckinnon |
Mckinnon Hotel — 251 McKinnon Rd, Mckinnon VIC 3204
AGFG lists Live Music for Mckinnon Hotel, alongside Child Friendly and Alfresco Dining, at its address on the corner of Jasper Road. Its own site says it is open daily from 12 pm. We could not find a published gig calendar, capacity or door price, and the site shows no date, so treat the live music tag as a listing feature and confirm the program directly.
Gig nights: We could not find published gig nights for the hotel, so ask before you plan an evening around a band.
Asena Melbourne — 266 McKinnon Road, Mckinnon VIC 3204
AGFG lists Live Music, Vegan Options and Takeaway for Asena Melbourne, which we classed as a Turkish restaurant. Its site lists Friday and Saturday opening at 6.00pm and closing at 11.30pm, with Sunday opening at 9.00am. We could not find a published gig program, stage details or entry price, and the site shows no date, so confirm hours before you go.
Catch: AGFG lists live music but no set times, so ask which Friday or Saturday sessions have a performer before you book.

How we checked
We checked every place on this page against at least two independent sources on 9 October 2026: OpenStreetMap, the places’ own websites and the Australian Good Food Guide. We copied no menu prices from these places’ own pages, so this page prints none. Menus, prices and opening hours change, so check with the venue before you go.
