Tempo Rubato

One of my favourite places in Melbourne

Lovely venue with various kinds of musical performances. Enjoy the intimate space with a few suitable drinks.

Melbourne's best kept secret for sure. An amazing variety of extraordinary artists play incredible music on astonishing instruments. The understated performance space makes the quality of these gigs soar. Cute bar, incredible hospitality. Music and Melbourne fused to create a magical and affordable experience. Go before there are queues around the block.

Excellent comfy venue, friendly staff, and great drinks. Very fun place for a date or just to see a show. Great job guys and great show put on by James Marples.

This is a fantastic option for those evenings when you want to share quality time with your people. Highly recommended base on the quality of the music selection, the friendly atmosphere, the great prices of events and drinks (very often the events are totally free!) and the cool, relaxed vibe of the place.Fully accesible for wheelchairs, the venue also has a beautiful display of artworks hanging from the walls, which makes it a little art gallery at the same time.On the upper level a sister organisation provides co-working spaces. Both venues give space for community to come together for talks about subjects related to small business development, creativity and sustainability. All great reason to visit this place that has a great missing behind as it provides funds to the “Piano Project”, a social enterprise that aims to teach piano to kids of refugies.

Beautiful venue combining a cute bar with excellent performance space. Quality drinks and plenty of greenery really add to the experience too - we'll definitely be back again.

I hired out this venue for a very special occasion and Georgia was very accomodating and friendly throughout the whole booking process, making the whole experience from start to finish very enjoyable. The piano is a beautiful sounding piano in a lovely setting. Plenty of seating and the lighting in the venue really helps set the mood.

Great little venue to hear and watch perform top quality musicians while sipping on some nice wines. The pieces they played could not be tackled by school groups or armatures. Very testing pieces superbly performed. Flawless to my ear.

It was the perfect night! Tempo rubato hosted a wonderful show like I’ve never seen before. The venue was greatly acoustic, bar was stocked and smiles were on our faces. Will be back!

Great space with a cosy atmosphere for live music.
