The Dogs Bar

About The Dogs BarThe Dogs Bar is a warm, welcoming neighbourhood venue in the heart of St Kilda, known for its live music, community atmosphere, and creative spirit. With a relaxed and inclusive vibe, it’s a space where people can connect, create, and enjoy great entertainment in a comfortable setting. The venue has a unique character that makes it feel both inspiring and approachable, offering a perfect environment for artists, musicians, and creatives to come together.Creative Space & ClassesThe Dogs Bar has plenty of flexibility to accommodate a range of creative classes and workshops. We have options on where the space can be held, having back rooms that can be set up and used for smaller classes or with the ability to securely store materials for ongoing sessions. Our foldable and removable stage could also be utilised for activities such as life drawing classes, demonstrations, etc. The venue lends itself to a relaxed and social creative experience, with music playing softly in the background and the option for participants to enjoy a glass of wine while they work. As classes would be ticketed events, doors can be locked and curtains drawn to provide privacy and create an intimate, dedicated space. For photography workshops, we may even be able to explore converting one of the back rooms into a dark room, depending on requirements. I’m passionate about opening the venue to like-minded creatives and fostering a supportive local art community where people can learn, collaborate, and share ideas.Dogs are 100% welcome.
