We keep our beers rotating with the best craft brews and a selection of classic beers and crowd-pleasers.
Cocktails? Absolutely. We serve up the classics with a few creative twists, think familiar flavours with a bit of flair.
Our wine list gets a regular refresh too, spotlighting small producers who know their grapes. And with a solid line-up of non-alcoholic options, no one’s left out of the cheers.
We’re big on local partnerships and always pouring something interesting, inclusive, and just a little bit different.

Venue Information
Kiss My Brass is split into two distinct but connected areas, designed to offer flexibility and atmosphere.
- Front Section: A welcoming walk-in bar and café with an old-school guitar-shop feel. It’s casual, community-focused, and perfect for light food, casual drinks, and daytime acoustic sets.
- Back Room Venue: A dedicated performance and event space that holds up to 150 people — ideal for intimate live gigs, open mic nights, album launches and creative exhibitions. With moody lighting, acoustic-friendly layout, and a close connection between stage and audience, it’s where the real magic happens.
Upstairs, we also offer bookable rooms for personal rehearsals, creative workshops, or smaller ticketed events. Whether you’re hosting a spoken word night or planning an indie short film screening, we’re open to all forms of art and performance.
Our space thrives on authenticity, spontaneity, and creative diversity. The result? A venue that doesn’t feel like a venue — it feels like home for creatives.
