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.
Ormond itself has no band room we could verify, so this is a short page. It lists two places in and around Ormond that carry a live-music listing: McKinnon Hotel and Asena Melbourne, both in McKinnon.
Both entries rest on the Australian Good Food Guide’s Live Music feature tag. A tag is a directory feature, not a gig guide, so we name no acts, no set times and no capacity. Each place was checked against two independent sources, and we say whose listing every fact comes from.
The quick picks
| If you’re after | Head to | Order this | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pub with a Live Music tag | McKinnon Hotel | PORTERHOUSE STEAK 300g w. fries & trimmings (Thursday special) | $28 |
| Turkish dinner, Live Music tag | Asena Melbourne | see below | not printed here |
McKinnon Hotel — 251 McKinnon Road, McKinnon VIC 3204
AGFG tags McKinnon Hotel with “Fully Licensed Functions Live Music”. That is a directory feature, and we did not find a published gig list to go with it. The hotel’s own site lists “live sports events and regular comedy nights” and says it is open daily from 12 pm, with the Sports Bar from 11 am. Treat the tag as a reason to ask, not a booking guide.
On the menu (copied from mckinnonhotel.com.au and mckinnonhotel.com.au on 4 October 2026):
- PORTERHOUSE STEAK 300g w. fries & trimmings: $28
- NATURAL OYSTERS: $2.50
- PROPER ROAST Rotating weekly w. trimmings: $30
- PORTERHOUSE STEAK: $28
Catch: AGFG’s Live Music tag is not a gig listing, so check the hotel’s What’s On page before planning a night around a band.
Asena Melbourne — 266 McKinnon Road, McKinnon VIC 3204
AGFG tags Asena Melbourne with “Live Music”. Its own site lists Friday and Saturday evenings from 6.00pm to 11.30pm, and Sunday from 9.00am to 1.00pm. We could not find a published programme saying which nights have music, so the tag is all we can report.
Gig nights: None are published that we could find, so confirm with the restaurant before you book a Friday or Saturday table for the music.
Quick answers
Where can I find live music near Ormond?
We verified two places in and around Ormond, both in McKinnon: McKinnon Hotel and Asena Melbourne. AGFG tags each with Live Music, but neither listing we found names acts or set times.
Does McKinnon Hotel have live music?
AGFG tags McKinnon Hotel with “Fully Licensed Functions Live Music”. The hotel’s own site lists live sports events and regular comedy nights, and we could not find a published gig list, so ask the hotel what is on.
When is Asena Melbourne open on weekends?
Asena Melbourne’s own site lists Friday and Saturday from 6.00pm to 11.30pm, and Sunday from 9.00am to 1.00pm. Hours can change, so check with the restaurant.
Is there a live music venue in Ormond itself?
This page lists only two places and both are in McKinnon, McKinnon Hotel and Asena Melbourne. We did not verify a live-music venue inside Ormond, so we have not listed one.
