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.

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!

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.

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.
