We Are Richmond
Finding the right function space for your ‘do’ can be a prospect as dreaded as moving house or raising children – laborious, frustrating, confusing and costly. But fear not, if you’re hunting for the real story about Concrete Boots Bar Richmond, Boots we’ve got you covered.

If you’re happy, we’re happy. It’s pretty simple.
We are Concrete Boots, your friendly neighbourhood bar, where local legends have their faithful bentwood stool and newcomers are treated to twelve rotating taps, a tight cocktail list and some of the best bloody (and not so bloody) bar food in Melbourne.
We’re also proudly known as one of the most popular event venues in Richmond.
Our food menu proudly satisfies both ravenous vegans and protein-pounders alike. Our draught offerings are fit for lager drinkers and crafty connoisseurs, while our wine list is lovingly local.
“It all came about because I basically wanted to do what I liked and what my mates liked.The kinda stuff that makes myself and my mates happy.”
With a namesake inspired by Melbourne’s turn-of-the-century gangster past (the adjacent old bank even bearing bygone-era bullet holes), Concrete Boots serves up what’s quality and what’s local. Curated and thoughtful, the food and beverage offerings are Victorian focused. From Healesville gins, to Peninsular wines, to Gippsland beef.
So if you’ve ever wondered what makes us tick and why locals keep coming back, this is what it’s all about: Concrete Boots Bar Richmond. Part history, part hospitality, all heart.
So, come by, get your lips around an Australian Negroni, your ears around some Indy Rock and your arse around a comfy seat.
Can you kick it? Yes, you can.

EXCELLENT Based on 481 reviews Posted on Google Safiya MamedrzayevaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently hosted my partner’s surprise 25th birthday here, and I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. From the initial booking and planning process through to the event itself, the entire experience was seamless and stress-free. A huge thank you to Andrew, who was incredibly helpful, organised, and professional throughout. Even though we were planning everything at the last minute, he made the whole process feel effortless. He went above and beyond, offered fantastic ideas, and ensured every detail was taken care of. The venue itself is beautiful, the staff were friendly, attentive, and welcoming, and the food was absolutely delicious. Our guests couldn’t stop complimenting the catering, and everyone left happy and well-fed! It’s rare to find a venue that delivers such outstanding service at such a reasonable price. If you’re looking for a place to host a special event, I highly recommend it. Thank you to Andrew and the entire team for making my partner’s surprise birthday such a memorable and successful celebration!Posted on Google Eloise HaynesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hosted my 40th birthday here. Andrew was famous with the pre-planning and confirming things on the day. Venue has great options for dancing or sitting so suits all ages. The food was great and the bottomless option for food meant absolutely nobody went home hungry. Music played through speakers and projector use set the mood and the photobooth captured memories easily so we didn't have to worry. Team on the night were fabulous and could not have been any more helpful. Would highly recommend as a venue for significant events and weddings for a great evening. Thanks Andrew and team!Posted on Google Natalie KozubTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing venue! Great drinks and lovely staff!Posted on Google Isabel MartinezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently celebrated our Gender Reveal and Birthday Party at Concrete Boots Avenue, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! Andrew and his team were absolutely amazing from beginning to end. Andrew’s communication was outstanding throughout the entire planning process, making everything feel easy and stress-free. His support went above and beyond, he even helped with decorations and all the little details that made the day come together perfectly. On the day, the team was friendly, professional, and created such a welcoming atmosphere. Our guests had a fantastic time, and everything ran so smoothly, allowing us to relax and enjoy such a special occasion with our family and friends. Thank you, Andrew and the entire Concrete Boots Avenue team, for making our celebration so memorable. We highly recommend you to anyone looking for a venue with exceptional service, great food and drinks, and a team that genuinely cares about making your event a success. We can’t wait to come back!Posted on Google Christina HowlettTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Recently hosted a work social here and had such a great experience. The staff were incredibly accommodating from start to finish and made organising everything really easy. They kindly let us use their screen and microphones so we could run our own DIY trivia night, which worked perfectly and made the event so much more fun and interactive. Great atmosphere was great for a group event and everyone had a fantastic time. Would definitely recommend for casual drinks, group bookings, or work socials!Posted on Google Matilda TrickeyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great value and such a good atmosphere for an event! Andrew was super responsive and helpful during planning and his team were amazing on the night. Pool table gets a huge tick too!Posted on Google James BanfieldTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had the bottomless drinks here and the service was fantastic. Drinks were constantly served and the food was amazing. From the starters to mains it was delicious. 100% will go againPosted on Google Ivy GerassimouTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently held our engagement party at concrete boots bar. I could not recommend a better place to have an event. Incredibly reasonable prices, amazing food and drinks. The team was amazing to work with. We initially booked with Jes, who was phenomenal and very flexible with us, but Andrew specifically went above and beyond for us. He made the planning process so easy and took so much stress off of me. That’s a hard thing to do for a type A stress head like me. I can’t appreciate them more for helping us have our perfect night! I have been getting compliments all week from our guests about the atmosphere, food, alcohol, the photo booth and just how nice the venue was. 10/10 will be returning for any other events we have in the future! Thank you so much Concrete Boots!Posted on Google Zoe StraneyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Andrew, who was our event host and owner, was an absolute standout. Unprompted, he was quietly moving through the room - collecting empty drinks, making sure everyone had what they needed - without once disturbing the flow of the event. That kind of attentiveness is rare and it didn't go unnoticed. The venue itself was exactly what we needed. Flexible, great bar service, and a space that just worked for what we were running. The energy of the night was partly the room - and Concrete Boots delivered. We will absolutely be back for another event.
