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, 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 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 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 8 reviews Posted on Rory TrebilcoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A couple months ago I hosted a surprise birthday DAY party for my partner!!! Jes, the events manager was absolutely amazing leading up to the event, during the event & post event. She went above and beyond organising this event for me and executing it. The day party was her idea and it made things so much more affordable for me and it was SO SO SO fun! I definitely recommend hosting an event at Concrete Boots during the day! The blinds were put down and it felt like night time anyway! The vegan food was delicious and constantly being brought out, no guests went hungry. Jes thoughtfully assisted with executing the 70’s theme, including renaming cocktails to match the vibe! She also committed to the surprise party and had everything organised & planned to make sure it was a success! Thank you to the entire venue! I would definitely host another event here! Every guest agreed that Jes was absolutely incredible and accommodating! ❤️❤️❤️ - Tessa Baird (using Rory’s google account)Posted on Chris OgilvieTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I had the very fortunate experience of having a significant event at Concrete Boots. It was an amazing experience where the stress of it all was taken care of by the amazing venue manager Jes. Every single person who attended this event said that the service and the atmosphere was remarkable. I strongly recommend Concrete Boots, they gave my friends and I, one of the best nights ever!Posted on Georgia DTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had hubby’s 50th at venue. Hands down Jes was absolutely amazing and a superstar from beginning right through to end. She was completely attentive and gracious to all our needs, how the night would go, planning and organising the food etc and making sure nothing was left out! I cannot fault her she went above and beyond! The bartenders were fantastic all night catering to all the guests throughout the night, the venue was absolutely perfect and cozy and spacious at the same time! Everybody had a fantastic night! Cannot recommend enough this venue - the best I have attended thus far for an event! Thank you Jes for your amazing effort and ensuring our Halloween birthday celebration was great and memorable!! 10 stars all the way from us!!Posted on Daniel WoodTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
