Venue Information for Espy Gershwin, St Kilda, VIC
Front Bar:
The sticky carpet may have gone, but the heart and sole of the Espy remains. Originally known as the Nimrod Room, the Espy’s Front Bar remains one of Australia’s most legendary stages. Since the early days of string performances in the late 1800s the Espy’s hallowed stages have been graced by the finest performers from around Australia and the world.
A physical landmark in St Kilda, and a cultural icon to Australia, the Espy continues this long standing tradition of live music…day in day out the Front Bar plays hosts to bands 7 days a week, with the pub averaging over 50 bands across all three stages every week, most for free.
The Front Bar stage with its stunningly clear and powerful Deltamax system and the recently extended stage truly (not to mention the incredible bay views) is one of any performer’s most coveted stages.
The Gershwin Room:
Gershwin Room has been returned to its original vision of splendour and majesty, its intricate period details breathed new life. From the incredibly elaborate ceiling which has been painstakingly hand-finished, the gold leaf walls and rich, hand-rendered motifs, to the open fireplace, the Gershwin Room is now undoubtedly one of Australia’s most beautiful spaces.
As a premier live performance space, a great deal of care has been taken to ensure the ElectroVoice DeltaMax sound system is perfectly tuned to the room, and in turn there has been an extensive amount of sound engineering to ensure the room sounds simply stunning, regardless of where you stand. This sound is further complimented by an extensive list of audio and visual facilities.
And with this new look comes new purposes. Whilst once only the domain of live performances, the Gershwin Room’s new features lends itself to any number of possibilities. From cocktail parties to product launches & showcases, conferences, plays, cinema events and private functions every care has been taken to ensure the Gershwin Room can respond and react to every need.
