Address: 160 Hoddle St, Abbotsford.

What's the capacity? 90.

Why should punters visit you? Any one who's into LIVE music will get up close and personal with the bands! Great friendly service and vibe.

What's the best thing about the venue? Great bands, great sound, great drink prices, great service, cool feel to the establishment. Easy to get to by train, bus or if you're driving, plenty of parking. The venue is musically inspired and homely.

What's the history of the venue? It's been the Yak Bar, IDGAFF Bar and since 2013, Mr Boogie Man Bar. If you haven't been as a spectator or played as a musician I invite you to come back, experience the change. I know you'll be impressed!

What is your venue doing to help the local music scene? We are a music venue! Bands can strut their stuff and their fans will love it.
