I’ve been going to the Tote now for music and life improvement since I got kicked out at age 16. It’s got bands in the back, a front bit and two outside bits and a heart the size of collingwood.
Just the best ‘find’ for live music in Melbourne!!! We went to look at the Keith Haring mural next door and watched 2 verandah punk bands in the Tote afterwards - Kegging and The Kooabahs. High energy, punk, fun, raw, very friendly and funny guys. Passionate. You’ve got to go!!!!! Check out the upcoming gigs. - we need venues like this in the world. Good beer too.
All ways a great venue Support live music
I have never been here before and enjoyed my experience here. Reasonably priced drinks offering a beer garden and stage to appreciate rocking performances. Crowd is very diverse and so is the music offerings. Staff were incredibly efficient and pleasant to order from and it was nice seeing them actively clear the breakages of glass out the back quickly. Bouncers are also quite imposing and just the right amount of approachability as you would like. I recommend this venue for a great Friday night out.
Great afternoon listening to the Backyard Crickets. Evoking some fun memories and raising awareness of some sobering topics. Never been upstairs at the Tote, but seemed pretty cool.
