The Corner's new rooftop

The Corner has stood on the corner of Swan Street, Richmond, since the nineteenth century and has been a popular live music venue since the 1940s. Remodelled and developed by Tim Northeast and Mathew Everett in 1995, the venue has since played host to some of the most prestigious names in music, both locally and internationally.

Now, just in time for its 20th anniversary under current ownership, The Corner reveals its spacious new rooftop, with an indoor dining area, outdoor courtyard and private function spaces, plus an impressive new menu and bar offering.

The new design aims to produce the best experience for all patrons - a reinvestment in the next 20 years of great food, drinks, service and music at The Corner.

We loved tasting our way through the new menu. The Corner’s Head Chef, Shannon Rice, has put together an offering of premium pub food with a new focus on shared dishes. Comforting classics rub shoulders with delectable share dishes such as the absolutely stunning 12 hour beef short rib served with roast pumpkin, black garlic purée, tahini and toasted rye grain; or the elegant dish of pan fried barramundi - wonderfully fresh barramundi cooked to perfection and matched perfectly with the accompanying carrot velouté, broad beans, fennel, sea succulents and bisque oil.

There is also a new late-night menu which includes tasty bar bites and snacks that perfectly complement the front bar’s substantial beverage offering, including a luscious new wine list.

Vegetarian options are also plentiful across all menus, including the roasted bloody beetroot salad with blue lentils, rye grain, barley, caramelised walnuts, goat’s cheese and herbs. 

The new outdoor space presents a compelling proposition for drinking and dining with stunning city views.
