We Are Richmond
Finding the right function space for your do – it’s a prospect as dreaded as moving house or raising children – laborious, frustrating, confusing and costly.
But fear not, Boots has got you covered.

Food

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 function venues in Richmond.
Our food menu proudly satisfies both ravenous vegans and protein-pounders alike. Our draught offerings – 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 the Healesville gins, to the Peninsular wines, to the Gippsland beef.
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.

Completely forgot to do this… Had my birthday here at the start of the month and I cannot praise everyone enough, the service was insane. Heaps of space and everyone loved the pool table. The whole planning process was just so smooth and easy, and I cannot thank Jes enough for that ❤️ Melanie K2025-06-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
