Max Watt's House of Music is a live music venue on Swanston Street in Melbourne, Australia. The 850-capacity venue is in the basement of the Century Building designed by architect Marcus Barlow.
Venue historyedit
The venue originally opened in 1940 as the Century Theatre cinema.[1] Over the subsequent decades it underwent various changes in name and focus, from newsreels to European films, before closing as a cinema in 1985.[2]
The Hi-fi Bar & Ballroom opened in the former cinema in 1998, and become a major live music venue in Melbourne.[3] In 2015, after being placed in administration,[4] the venue became Max Watt's House of Music under new ownership.[5]
