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.

Chef preparing a spread of share plates Concrete Boots Bar Richmond, highlighting the venue’s function and dining offerings.

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.

Recently held a 30th here, and would 100% recommend to anyone wanting a chill and easy, intimate space for their next celebration. The options this venues provides are great: - food catering - cake services - pool tables + jenga - AV + mic setup - outdoor section - drink variety - different seating areas within From the get go, Andrew was a great planner and handled everything and knew how to add the extra touches to entertain as best as possible. Andrew and Ravina at the bar were so easy to work with, and the special day ran seamlessly. I had so many comments after from friends praising the venue etc Thanks again! Jay

Concrete Boots was a perfect venue for celebrating our event. Andrew was very accommodating. The atmosphere was relaxed and we could make the space our own. There was a generous variety of food and drinks that were part of our package. It all made for a very special and memorable evening.

Recently hosted my engagement celebration here. Andrew was an absolute legend throughout the organisation of our event and made the night feel stress feel. Based on the food and drink package we picked this was catered well for the amount of guest we had. The atmosphere was great with plenty of space for all. Highly recommend this place if you want to cater an event!

Came here for my best friend’s surprise birthday but honestly the night ended up being so much more fun than we expected. It happened to be Bradley Cooper’s birthday and if you’ve seen A Star Is Born, Andy the owner of the bar is quite literally his twin. The girl working there is literally Ally from the movie (The flirty vibe and she can sing). She told us she’d baked something for him and we ended up plotting together to sing happy birthday to him at midnight. She was honestly the sweetest. If you see this I hope you enjoyed your drink. I unfortunately have a boyfriend but both of you guys are hot enough to take home and you make me want to switch to girls. Bradley Cooper, you have an incredible smile. Happy birthday! Thank you for looking after us and accommodating us the whole night. We had such a good time!

We hosted our daughter’s 18th birthday here. The team were absolutely amazing! So accommodating, relaxed and easy to work with. We would give far more than 5 stars if we could. Great food, great atmosphere, just an all round excellent venue. Highly, highly recommend!!
