Palace Theatre (previously metro)
20-30 Bourke St, Melbourne
Tel:9663 4288
map
Invite Friends to this bar:
The Palace Theatre has recently been changed from the largest night club in the Southern Hemisphere, to Melbourne's premier entertainment venue.
Now mainly used to host a large range of concerts, the Palace Theatre has undergone recent renovations to restore many of the buildings original features.
The highlight for bar crawlers, however, is the bar on the first floor. Tucked away at the front, overlooking Bourke Street, the bar is housed in what was a snack booth during the Metro's previous life as a theatre.
The ornate gilding around the ceiling and columns is still highlighted. On the second and third floors, it still feels like being in the dress circle, even though the entertainment below has changed. The ornate fittings and ceiling decorations remind you just how much pride past artisans took in their work.

James for melbourne - 16/08/07 hey guys i wil say this from my visits back in days underage the place use to go off the hook, but now its like...uumm...like RSL i haven't been there for about 2 years now but every time i pass by the people in line looks like they going to the fewnrial! no offence these guys 3/5 kim - 15/08/07 Bring back GOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! best club youcould ever ask for! 5/5 Tina - 10/07/07 I went there on Saturday night to see a world-class DJ Style of Eye and the place was EMPTY, except for a few weird and very scarey weirdos. Very embarassing (for the DJ to see this in Melbourne) and woeful. Fantastic DJ. Whats happened to the crowd? 0/5 Sarah J - 07/05/07 i absolutely loved it!! Great music and not OVER crowded but still super busy. One of the best clubs in Melbourne. Highly reccommended, and HOT bar staff. 5/5 larry - 21/03/07 Hey...that chair in the eye trick sounds fun.
Maybe theres a future for the Metro as a Circus venue!
Roll up Roll up.... 0/5 Joey Jeremiah - 16/03/07 Great if you want to see a guy with a chairleg through his eye...
otherwise... shocking place
Too many 'chaps' looking for trouble 0/5 Adam - 30/09/06 Top of Melbourne's club list, if it wasnt so Fkn hard to get in!!! 5/5 JD - 05/09/06 Saturday nights go off! huge crowd, great tunes and alot of fun! I just rocked in with 4 random girls i started to talking to in the line, so i had no trouble getting in. lots of underage kids hanging out across the road??? $8 for a beer tho? 5/5 Mat - 27/08/06 Don't bother going unless you're a guy that looks like a girl or if you're wearing a short skirt
Hopeless! 0/5 Naomi - 25/08/06 I heard it used to be good then it went shit...But now that Me Events have taken over promoting it, its cranked back up again. Young crowd, fairly pretentious, but overall great djs and a fun night out. Don't expect to go home early. :) 5/5 di-dee - 22/08/06 i think the chick below meant to say really hot bouncer because i recognised him from gpo as well and he is definitely a hotty 0/5 sarz - 22/08/06 ummm i wasnt even on drugs or drunk and this place was the coolest thing i have ever experienced. set up absolutely amazing with beach balls, guy doing acrobats behind dj on some cotton ropes, people dancing in a blow up pool, freaking awesome. lights were so cool as well, and really hot, the one that works at gpo as well sometimes haha. yaaaaay, going back this weekend 5/5 simon - 07/08/06 great place to go 5/5 jeremy - 07/08/06 a great place to go in melbourne 3/5 Daniel - 24/06/06 A woefully sad place full of too cool for school types and those looking for a punch on.
Bar prices are decent and staff are quite good - these two compliments being the only two factors that prevent it from getting a 0. 2/5 karli - 31/08/05 the best night spot ever 3/5 Cass - 05/02/04 Highly recommend Thursday nights, good music,awesome atmosphere 5/5
