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.

Celebrated my 30th Birthday at CBB, Jes was an absolute legend with every little detail leading up to and during the function! The bottomless drinks and canapes package was 100% worth the money, everyone had a great time and I wouldn't have had my party at any other location!! Thank you so much Jes and the team at Concrete Boots!Posted on Sajeeva SinniahTrustindex 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 Sarah MacTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My 40th last night was a dream. A room where I felt safe and welcome and loved. Having Jes at the helm of it all was everything. She is pure magic. She has a gift that is something seriously remarkable. Nothing was too much, she handled it and went above and beyond to make sure I had the night I’d dreamed of. The venue is incredible, staff are top notch and I would have 100 more events here if given the chance.Posted on Daniel WoodTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
