Our space is ideal for a wide range of activities — from live music recordings, film and photo shoots, and creative productions, to corporate events, private celebrations, product launches, and more. With rich visual character and a highly flexible layout, the venue adapts easily to different formats. The main room is a glamorous, theatre-style music hall with a full stage, bar, dining facilities, and premium AV infrastructure. It comfortably hosts up to 150 guests for cocktail-style events or 80 seated. The mezzanine level offers a more intimate vantage point and is perfect for smaller groups of up to 40, or as a filming, green room, or breakout space during events. Key features include a world-class d&b audiotechnik sound system, velvet drapes, gold and timber finishes, custom stage lighting, and excellent in-room acoustics. The design nods to underground music halls and vintage cabaret, layered with a modern sensibility — making it a favourite for productions requiring depth, drama, and atmosphere. With flexible staffing, a curated cocktail offering, and a prime Inner West location just steps from public transport, The Vanguard is a stylish and well-equipped backdrop for shoots, launches, and unforgettable events.
