The Venue at Kiss My Brass
Located just 200 metres from the Metro in the heart of Marrickville — and the first stop from the city on the Bankstown line — Kiss My Brass is more than a bar or gig venue. It’s a community-driven creative space built for expression, collaboration, and unforgettable events. Whether you’re a performer, an organiser, or simply someone chasing a relaxed vibe with live tunes and good company, our venue has a space (and a vibe) for you.
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.

Food & Drinks
Whether you’re here for a set, a showcase, or just a casual catch-up, our bar and café offer the perfect companion to the experience.
Drinks
We keep things local and laid-back. Expect:
- A rotating selection of beers (nothing fancy — just the usual favourites done right)
- A selection of wines, spirits & classic cocktails
- Non-alcoholic options for the sober-curious or designated drivers
Food
We keep it simple, tasty, and event-friendly.
- Bar snacks and fresh toasties are always available
- For larger or themed events, we often team up with food vans and pop-up vendors parked out front — everything from gourmet sliders to vegan eats, depending on the night
- We’re happy to discuss catering options for private bookings too
The food and drinks aren’t the main act — but they definitely set the tone. Whether it’s sipping something cold during a summer afternoon set or grabbing a late-night toastie after your performance, we’ve got you covered.
A Venue for the Creatively Curious
Kiss My Brass is designed for creatives by creatives. We’re not a nightclub. We’re not a stiff gallery. We’re something in between — an ever-evolving space where people come together to share sound, story, and experience.
So whether you want to book a room, play a set, launch an idea, or just soak up the vibe, our doors are open — and our venue is ready.
