Have You Been To: The Golden Vine

Answered by: Justin McPhail

Address: 135 King Street, Bendigo

What's the capacity? 200

Why should punters visit you? Sweet tunes. Texas Barbecue. Good vibes. We renovated a little, we're pouring sweet beers and we have a taco bar!

What's the best thing about the venue? We've got an awesome calendar of artists, and we're running mini festivals starting in July, including a New Orleans festival in November. Importantly we've got staff that give a shit about what they serve!

What's the history of the venue? We're widely regarded as Bendigo's premier live music venue, though the past few years it's seen some up and down days. We're currently working hard to bring it back to its best, with our legendary jam session on every Tuesday.

What is your venue doing to help the local music scene? We're listening to the artists that jam with us Tuesdays to give them a chance at opening for bigger artists!

What are some of the highlights? Dallas Crane were sent back up the Calder for smoking weed in the band room back in the early days!
