About The Russian House
A historical venue in Fitzroy’s prime location, the Russian House is an equally welcoming home both to the local Melbourne community and the wider Russian diaspora.
Discover an exceptional opportunity to immerse yourself in the rich history of Collingwood and Fitzroy by accessing the renowned Cultural House. Our versatile event spaces are available for hourly, short-term, or long-term hires, providing the perfect backdrop for your next event.
Built in 1884, the two-story venue boasts a striking facade with distinct architectural influences. The first-level Crystal Hall features elements inspired by Italian Renaissance design, while the second-level Emerald Hall seamlessly merges with Classical aesthetics. The Russian House is a sought-after location that can accommodate up to 300 guests across both floors. This heritage building, a unique gem of Victorian architecture, is the ideal choice for hosting workshops, celebrations, live music performances, and conferences.
Situated at the corner of Greeves and Gore Streets, the Russian House is just a minute's walk from the iconic Smith Street. This location grants immediate access to the vibrant cultural life of Collingwood and Fitzroy which enhances your event's appeal.
Our venue holds a registered BYO liquor license and access to both large kitchen and a kitchenette, making it an excellent choice for hosting a wide range of functions and events, with the option of outsourced catering. Additionally, we offer audio and lighting and staging equipment for hire to complete your performances, music gigs, and parties.
Getting to our venue is a breeze, thanks to its proximity to public transport. Tram routes 86 and 11, only 10-15 minutes from Melbourne's CBD, and buses 200, 202, and 207, make it easily accessible for your guests.
