Cool... such a shame that place had closed.

Downstairs was major meh... but upstairs is the biz. Might have to drop in there for a beer or three, post market shenanigans.

wow, my opinion is the total opposite. I reckon the downstairs space is one of the best in Melbourne, but I always though upstairs wasn't very different to a lot of other clubs... I don't mind upstairs at the Mercat, but the vibes were always downstairs for me!

+1 from me

dnb down the bottom room was super ravey when it was nicely full.

Agree. Definitely better downstairs.

deviant · Post by **deviant** » Tue Apr 07, 2009 11:58 am

upstairs was generally shitty.... BUT there were a few times when extra effort was put into the setup and decor + a really nice full room that it was totally awesome.

Found this on Melbournepubs.com
