Common questions

Before you ask.

Most enquiries land with a version of the same questions. We've answered them here so you can keep planning.

What does "bar minimum spend" actually mean?
Instead of charging a venue hire fee, we set a target your guests should spend at the bar collectively across the night. Hit the target and the room is yours at no extra cost. Fall short and you cover the difference. Most events comfortably hit it.
Can I bring my own catering or DJ?
Yes. We have a list of preferred suppliers we love working with, but you're welcome to bring your own. We just ask that DJs and caterers loop us in early so we can support them properly on the night.
What's the cancellation policy?
Cancel more than 30 days before your event and we refund half the deposit. Within 30 days of the event the deposit is non-refundable, and within 14 days the full hire fee is payable. If your plans change, talk to us as early as you can: moving to another date is often possible when there is more than 30 days to go.
How does ticketing work for promoter events?
You handle ticketing through your platform of choice (Humanitix, Eventbrite, Moshtix). 100% of door revenue is yours. We make ours through the bar — and we'll happily promote your event to our community alongside your own marketing.
Is the venue accessible?
The ground floor and main lounge are wheelchair accessible. The rooftop trains and upper-floor rooms require stairs. We don't have a lift. Tell us about any specific needs when you enquire and we'll work with you on what's possible. Sensory-quiet hours and bookings can be arranged.
How do guests find us — and is there parking nearby?
We're at Rolling Stock Lane, Collingwood — a laneway running off Budd Street. Tell guests to search "Rolling Stock Lane, Collingwood" in maps, follow the lane in, and come through the Trainscendence archway on the left. Two trains on the rooftop = right place. There's street parking on the surrounding streets, and Collingwood station is a 7-minute walk. We always send a directions card with confirmed bookings so guests know exactly where to go.
Do you have a list of preferred suppliers?
Yes — caterers, florists, photographers, DJs, celebrants, balloon artists, fire performers, a couple of magicians. Ask for the supplier pack when you enquire and we'll send the current list.
