Anyone out and about the streets of Melbourne at night will most probably be heading to Brown Alley- one of the city's resident party venues. The nightclub takes clubbing to the next level. It offers plenty of dance floors, pubs and rooftop space for parties that last all day and all night. It has seen some of the most famous international acts and is known for its progressive music which is what usually brings people to the dance floor.

A lot goes on at OneSixOne.

For the adventurous and playful spirit, this is a nightclub which certainly delivers thanks to its unique location.
