I love Kingston City Hall. I have been coming here for years and years - literally as when I was a kid my primary school did a concert here! But more recently have been to comedy shows (Arj Barker, Jimeon, Stephen K. Amos, Bob Franklin, Dolly Diamond and more) and concerts (Scott Carne and friends doing Queen), Symphony Orchestra (doing John Williams music) and even my old primary school's school spectacular! So something for everyone. Easy to get to too, if you can't walk here, then carpark is available, and it's right next to Moorabbin train station. Look out for the old clock on what used to be the Moirabbin Town Hall but is now Kingston City Hall. Or what Arj Barker jokingly called Moor-a-bin! (Note I did a review over 2 years ago but it disappeared so have done again, sorry to all the people who read original, here's a new old one!).

We paid decent money to see the show which I won't name as I am sure my issue is not with him. The chairs provided were very uncomfortable and very close together that adults who saw this show could hardly sit on them as they were more suited for children. I won't be going to see another show here as there is no thought for the people, only money taken by the hall. Maybe the show should look into this as well, and think about its fans, but I believe the hall taking the money needs to think about people sitting for over an hour when placing seats.

People here need to learn manners on how to speak. Specially the security needs to be trained on how to speak with people. Sooo rude and never recommend this centre to anyone. No fixed chairs and chairs are too small , get ready to share the weight of the people sitting beside you. Also, please remember , DO NOT move your seats a little else security will jump in and will start threatening you and will try to showcase their power.

  • Vandergoogles

Attended our first show at the new premises of The Flying Saucer Club and were very happy with the venue. Staff were friendly and helpful. The toilets were very clean and modern and the whole place had a terrific vibe. No huge queues at the bar was a bonus. Easy parking underneath meant we were able to get to our car quickly after the event. Will definitely return for future concerts... Highly recommended.

  • Vicki Weiser

I had to leave halfway through the show as the seats were not only very uncomfortable,they were so close together that anyone going past to the loo or getting a drink trod on my feet.The 2 blokes in front of me and my friend were at least 6.4 and we couldn't even see the show properly. All in all a very disappointing night and waste of good hard earned money.

  • Adam G

This is a small cafe located on the ground floor foyer area of the refurbished Kingston City Hall. The cafe serves both hot and cold drinks as well as basic food items and snacks. There's bench seating in the area directly in front of the cafe as well as seating in the Hall's foyer area. The coffee andservice are good.

  • Symone Hall

Saw Ahn Do. Such an amazing man. Loved every minute. The only thing I would change, are the seats. I have a permanent spinal injury, so comfort is important. The chairs were small, with maybe less than an inch of padding. By the time the show finished I was in a lot of pain.

  • Rachel Kapsalakis

Attended a pop up music event here on a Friday evening. It was held in the car park and was well organised- staff were helpful, plenty of seating. Only thing that would have made it better was there could have been a few more food trucks to choose from.

  • Felicity Moyns

The venue was spacious, the seating was flimsy and jammed too close, the numbering system failed. The four people in front of us all had the same seat numbers, which was discovered as the show was about to begin.

  • Sepideh Ansari

There were chairs to seat that I can not remember when was the last time I saw one of them anywhere, not comfortable at all! The sound was good, Dear Andy was amazing like always. Staff were nice and friendly.

  • Thusan Herath

A complex that can be hired for various events like conferences, workshops, presentations. Consists of Grand Hall, Banquet Room and 2 x Meeting Rooms. Conveniently located closed to Moorabin Railway Station.

  • saththiyan s

This place is really nice and we have been hosting our program last three years. So far we have got no issues except car park. You have to park the car down the road or other side of the road.

  • Geoff Field

I've been performing in this venue for about 4 decades now. The acoustic setup is much better than it used to be. The backstage lift is an old friend. I think the audience likes the venue too.

  • Jack Baird

The front is currently under construction. If youre in the mood for watching a young solid 10/10 sex symbol of a man, this is the place to be. I also have a fantastic personality. Xoxo

  • Andre Cleghorn

Kingston City Hall is much improved after the renovations. Is a pity everything from the Cafe is sold in disposable cups or in single use bags. Not very environmentally aware.

  • Farhan Badruddin

Good place to arrange functions of large gatherings upto 500 to 700 people. Venue has less parking but since its near to station so you can have ample near to the venue.

  • Atam Bir Singh

Went there to attend my son in law's citizenship ceremony.. Very nice to see big beaurocrat like mayor mps and area Councellers.. Down to earth and very humble.. …

  • Lynley Holmwood

Watched the Arnold pre eliminations, easy to get to with close by public transport, small onsite cafe, plenty close by eating options but not many open on a Saturday

  • Ralph Cleary

I went to wellness presentation in meeting room. There's a bar on second floor with a band every so often. Big hall as well. There's the arts centre next door.

  • Pudding Wrestler

It fulfils both key aspects of its purpose by being both a hall and in a town. And as an added bonus, insane fallout googie style lights in the auditorium.

  • David King

attended a beaut organ recital yesterday. the organist was terrific as were the Maroo dah singers who were guest artists. full marks to all who organised

Good facility for events. Not the most modern posh thing but everything is there you will need for an event. Should be better signage to find it!
