Boiler Shop

A sprawling events space in a converted Victorian engine house where live music, theatre and club nights pack out a beautifully brick-lined room.

You'll find yourself in what used to be an actual boiler shop—the industrial skeleton is still very much there, all exposed brick and soaring ceilings that give the place real character. It's the kind of venue that feels equally at home hosting an intimate gig from a folk singer or a proper rammed electronic night where the whole crowd's moving as one. The stage setup means sightlines are generally decent, and there's proper room to move around without feeling crushed, which sets it apart from some of the tighter boxes around Collingwood Street.
