The vibe is electric in this darkly red-lit boudoir of a band venue and it's not hard to fathom why. The Night Cat has become a bit of a Fitzroy institution since its inception in 1994, with live jazz, funk and reggae among its diverse line-up. It's probably best known for its stage in the centre of the venue that gives all punters a great vantage point for watching their favourite acts.
Diverse programming means there's a different crowd every night, as the venue hosts everything from themed club nights, intimate band gigs, pumping sets from international producers and Latin dance classes. With heaps of seating available within view of the stage, this is a place where you can go hard or take it easy.
