The Curtin

  • Entertainment
  • Pub

The Curtin is an old-style pub with classic pub food, cold beer and great local live music.

Food is on offer from Sonny's Fried Chicken and Burgers, whose 24-hour brined chicken is worth the trip alone.

With room for 300 people, the upstairs band room has been designed to ensure an unrestricted view of the large stage from anywhere.

Thanks to its proximity to RMIT and Melbourne Universities, it's a popular student hangout and a lively place to grab a few beers.
