You know those cafes on Brunswick Street. Hip, groovy, cool, funky joints with lounges and standard lamps full of arty types sitting around waiting for inspiration. Well the Raincoat is like that only better because it’s named after a song. We have the best selection of recorded music in…..the world but that’s not all.
We have live music too. All sorts. Jazz, folk, blues. We even produce our own CD’s. Imagine, you could be at home watching the Bill, or you could at the ‘Coat, on the couch, wine in hand listening to some of the best players in town. Gigs are advertised in our monthly newsletter.
So where is South Kingsville, well it’s between Williamstown and Yarraville, check our map.
