Toff in Town

Melbourne


An atmospheric venue well suited to cabaret, the Toff also works for intimate gigs by rock gods, avant-folksters and dance-hall queens. The moody bar next door serves post-set drinks of the French wine and cocktail variety. Asian-influenced food is also available, but book ahead to nab a table.
