Intro Restaurants Attractions Nightlife Shopping Events Cafés

Although perhaps not the wildest night out, Ballarat has an excellent live music scene, and a wealth of classy, alternative bars and venues. Between the excellent local craft breweries and pubs, and its elegant yet understated cocktail bars, there’s something here for everyone when the sun goes down.

Hop Temple
With an ever-changing list of craft beers, great live entertainment and a relaxed vibe, Hop Temple is the perfect place to kick off your evening. Weekday evenings host eclectic entertainment such as musical bingo and drag queen trivia, while the weekends concentrate on live music. Besides being a great music and craft beer scene, Hop Temple offers a great variety of foods, from bar food, sharing boards and BBQ, pizzas to vegetarian/vegan offerings. Hop Temple is open 4pm on weekdays and from 12pm on weekends.
Faux Social Club
A cocktail bar and dance club with a long list of alternative and unusual cocktails and regularly changing tap beers. Its max capacity of 150 makes this a smaller, more relaxed venue with a more upmarket atmosphere than a traditional nightclub. Open until 1am on Thursdays, 5am on Fridays and Saturdays, and 4am on Sundays.
Lost Ones Basement Bar
Hidden under an art gallery in an old Masonic Temple, the Lost Ones Basement Bar is hard to find, and equally hard to leave. Here, classic elegance meets mysterious, eclectic charm...if you can find it! The bar has an extensive wine, beer, spirits and cocktail menu, as well as light meals. It also hosts regular live music, poetry, performances and discussions. Open Wednesday to Saturday until 11pm, and 2pm to 7pm on Sunday.
Main Bar
The Main Bar is a bar and restaurant, specialising in sourdough pizzas and regional wines. Recently revamped, it has retained its wood-panelled, old-fashioned boozer atmosphere, and hosts a range of entertainments including live music, comedy and performances. Open Thursday to Saturday, 6pm to 11pm.
Karova Lounge
If you like your music grungy and alternative, this is the place for you. Ballarat’s best original live music venue serves up the finest local and touring indie and rock bands, in perfectly atmospheric setting. Open from Wednesday to Saturday, 8:30pm to 4am.
Irish Murphy's
Irish Murphy’s is a classic Irish bar with an authentic and welcoming atmosphere. The bar supplies a range of craft, international and local beers, as well as a good selection of wines, while the kitchen serves up hearty, traditional Irish fare. There is regular entertainment on offer, with trivia nights, karaoke, and live music on Fridays and Saturdays. Open 7 days a week, 11 30am until late.
