Whether you are looking for a laid back Sunday afternoon vibe with live music, roving Wednesday festivities or Thursday night Musical Bingo, Hop has something for everyone.

Set in a converted stables, you will find your eyes mesmerised by the recycled creations that adorn the venue. From the lights made from hot water systems to the bar made from old doors.

Accessible off Armstrong Street North, situated down Hop Lane, follow the umbrellas and festoon lighting to a hidden laneway delight.

Acknowledgement of Country

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
