About Vinnies Dive

Vinnies Dive is a self-described dive bar and live music venue on Nerang Street in Southport, behind a matte-black door under a neon sign. It has been running since 2018 and is owned by Glenn Stewart and David and Jared Favero.

The venue has two spaces. The original bar has its own stage for free, unticketed sets. A band room next door, with a separate bar and joined to the main room by barn doors, hosts ticketed gigs. The bookings lean towards punk, rock, hardcore and tribute nights, with local bands alongside touring acts from Australia and overseas. It opens for shows only.
