By night The Colonial Hotel transforms itself into a fully fledged PARTY VENUE known as Brown Alley. Unlike most Melbourne pubs, we have a 24 hour license, with a holding capacity of 1200 people able to filter through four separate rooms. Each room fully operational for separate musical styles if required complete with all DJ requirements, each room having its own dedicated dance floor and individually decked out in its own unique flavor featuring our own Martin concert sound system.

Brown Alley is well-renowned amongst Melbourne pubs and clubs for playing host to Melbourne’s best promotional teams featuring all of Melbourne’s best and touring, international DJ’s. Bringing you the latest in cool non commercial dance music as it happens throughout the world . With guests popping in on the turn tables at the unlikeliest of times, Brown Alley is Club night in Melbourne that never sleeps.
