The General Assembly

Located a stone’s throw from the CBD, next door to the Melbourne Exhibition and Convention Centre and with impressive city skyline and riverfront views, The General Assembly is an ideal venue to hold your next function.

We have a mix of indoor and outdoor areas that can accommodate a variety of different functions and events. From stand up gatherings with drinks and canapés for 600 guests to a small group of 30 in our riverside terrace, we will make sure your experience is a memorable one.

At The General Assembly we believe in keeping it simple. Our philosophy: use high quality, well-sourced products; and don’t mess with what’s already a good thing. This is also reflected in the fit out designed by Six Degrees Architects.

We have an obvious affection for beer and we’re not shy about it. We are the only venue outside the brewery to list the full line up of Matilda Bay craft beers as well as, one-off seasonal brews on tap. We are also one of only a handful of venues in Australia where you can sample Unpasteurized Carlton Draught from copper Duo Tanks.
