About Section 8
Section 8 is one of Melbourne's most characterful bars — a shipping container structure in a CBD laneway that has become one of the most photographed venues in Australia. The bar's outdoor setting, eclectic mix of furniture, and laid-back programming of electronic and alternative music create an atmosphere that captures the spirit of Melbourne's famous laneway culture. Section 8 is where Melbourne's creative community comes to drink, talk, and eventually dance.
History
Section 8 opened in 2010 as part of Melbourne's emerging laneway culture, using a cluster of shipping containers to create a bar that felt genuinely innovative. It became immediately popular and has remained one of the city's most visited casual venues.
