Overlook Bar

Overlook Bar is a character-rich event space located alongside the iconic Astor Theatre in St Kilda, Melbourne, Victoria. Occupying a space formerly home to a launderette, the bar takes its name from the legendary Overlook Hotel in Stephen King’s The Shining, famously brought to life in Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 film adaptation. This cinematic reference is thoughtfully woven into the venue’s identity, creating an atmospheric connection to the past that mirrors the grand art deco stylings of the adjoining Astor Theatre. The result is a space that feels nostalgic, creative, and distinctly Melbourne. Overlook Bar offers a unique and versatile setting suited to work functions, social gatherings, birthday celebrations, and film-related events. Its position next to the Astor Theatre makes it an ideal complement for pre- or post-film debriefs, receptions, and intimate celebrations tied to screenings and cultural events. The space balances character and functionality, delivering an engaging environment that feels both relaxed and memorable. With its cinematic inspiration and close connection to one of Melbourne’s most beloved theatres, Overlook Bar provides a distinctive backdrop for events with personality and story.
