Roxanne Parlour Hiding under the hoardings in darkened alleyways is one of Melbourne’s greatest talents. If you use your sixth sense when it comes to locating these hidden treasures, you will find yourself up some stairs between a shop and pool hall, where you’ll discover an assorted line up from dubstep, old school jungle, trance to tec-house. Roxanne Parlour hosts an array of events that covers the gamut, but electronic music is the staple. This tuneful benchmark venue hosts dance events weekly, where guests will find all types of underground music with a hefty slew of remixes, original tracks, and a lot of style. The energetic flock to this bar, not just for the cocktails, but for the dance floor as well. Roxanne is decorated with a warm burlesque ingredient and a good dose of seedy - in a good way. A small patio kindly caters to the smokers who find it a drag to loiter in the laneways, and there’s a VIP lounge complete with fancy chandeliers. One of the best parts of a night at the Roxanne is that not just the music but that that the drinks are at pub prices so you should have some change for treats. Roxanne Parlour is definitely worth scaling the stairs for.
