The Thornbury Local

The The Thornbury Local in Thornbury is in the heart of the Darebin shire, home to the highest number of musicians per capita in Australia, which makes the The Thornbury Local a drinking hole and stage for these musicians.

The Thornbury Local was formally the Bender Bar and is still owned and run by the same wacky Bianco brothers and their team, but now has two levels, full kitchen, dining room and a balcony. Our cook is from Rome and is cooking up authentic Italian food passed down for generations.

It is a great place for artist to grace the stage for the first time because of its unintimidating and warm vibe, and equally a pleasure for the more experianced performers.
