A generous dance floor, massive balcony, VIP area, private booths, and two full size bars ensure that whatever your mood, Synbar is the place.

Stylish yet casual after work drinks on Tuesdays to Fridays lead up to classic Retro and groovy RnB ol'school tunes Friday nights and thumping house & electro Saturdays.

The Ding Dong Lounge is filling the void in Melbourne's rock'n'roll scene - sure we got the venues and plenty of bands that want the limelight, but now comes a mid-sized venue that can be your after work drinking hole or a place to see some of the scene's best local and international bands.

The Ding Dong Lounge is nestled in the centre of Chinatown, but never before has a rock bar existed on this strip. The emphasis is on good music, definitely no electronica and stars a host of young DJs spinning the decks with everything from The Ramones, Television, T-Rex, The Runaways, AC/DC, Turbonegro, Iggy & The Stooges and a stack more vintage and contemporary rock to salute you.

Feel the aura of Melbourne's hottest new venue, where style and sophistication is the key.
